Ding Liren: - "I think I'll have to wait until Carlsen gets old. I wouldn't be able to beat him now. He's superior to everyone. I think no one can beat him. If he gets out of shape with age, maybe I'll have a chance". 🤣

In second round Russian Super GM Fedoseev 2698, who currently represent Slovenia played against Indian FM Senthil. Fedoseev lost his first round and in this position having 1 hour 34 min on his clock left the tournament hall and never came back. His opponent had to wait 94 min to…

Ding Liren absolutely belongs to Candidates tournament and maybe the system is unfair to him, however this is just unacceptable format. He scores 10,5 out of 12 , moves to the second place in live rating while ALL OTHER GAMES NOT INCLUDING DING ENDED PEACEFULLY.

cannot make a specific rules to this case, either not allowing this kind of pairings (like in Olympiads),or sanction Iranian Federation ( I know it’s not players fault).

Simply fantastic win by Levon. My feeling is that we might see Levon Aronian come back , the one who used to be number 2 in the World and considered to be the main rival of Magnus.

Everyone is familiar with the names of Aronian and Akopian , but in my opinion Gabriel is phenomenal player, who has been a cornerstone of the Armenian Olympic team since 2000! I personally remember 2008 Dresden Olympiad , when Armenian team got gold medal and I lost to Gabriel.
Armenia, a country of just 3 million people, won the
#ChessOlympiad
in 2006, 2008 & 2012. Now, despite Aronian moving to the USA, they're the sole leaders with 3 rounds to go after Gabriel Sargissian followed his win over Caruana by beating Harikrishna!

The answer for my previous puzzle is incredible 1.Bh7!!. Black has no defense against coming 2. Ra1 while his king will stay in the center. Natural 1. Be4 is not enough, as after 1...0-0 2. Bxc6 Bxc6 3. Qxc6 e4! 4. Qxe4 Qb2 and Black has a lot of counterplay. I was pretty sure…

I assume many watched the video from amazing Carlsen vs Rapport game, which was played at recently finished World Blitz Championship. Do you know that Magnus could have decided the game much earlier. Can you find the winning idea here, White to move.

It's karma what is happening with USA team in Olympiad. Chess Kaissa not happy with this minimal approach of winning matches with 2,5-1,5 score and totally neglecting board points. The players forget how to fight! Right now Argentina has 4 board points more than USA!

What about this positional Queen sacrifice? Is it not the most amazing one? Positional sacrifice for one pawn, after 1...gxh5 2.Rg7 Ke8 3.Rh7 White won the game.
