Novice asks If I wanted to watch live (or least current on-going) higher-level chess tournaments on-line, is there a standard venue or method for this? TIA, Andrew Started 10/19/20 at 12:01:30 by cathexis	2	266	10/20/20 at 12:38:08 By: cathexis
2020 Candidates Interrupted The tournament should never have started. The opening ceremony of 1,000 guests was a scandalous stroke of Soviet-style arrogance, duplicity, and stupidity. It was cruel to make the players choose bet... Started 03/26/20 at 10:58:53 by ReneDescartes « Pages 1 2 all »	16	1959	10/16/20 at 22:59:35 By: Confused_by_Theory
Where to follow Norway Chess 2020? As subject above, what do you think the best website is for following Norway Chess 2020? Started 10/05/20 at 14:20:51 by grandpatzer	4	293	10/08/20 at 19:51:30 By: trw
Carlsen wins Banter Series by beating So Carlsen recently won the Banter series beating Wesley So in the final. In the first game he played 1.f3 and 2.Kf2, perhaps for the first time ever in a "serious" game, and won after a big struggle. Di...

Online commentators With all the online tournaments to watch, thought it might be time to resurrect the old questions -- who is the best commentator? Among those commenting in English, I think Peter Svidler is the b... Started 06/10/20 at 17:29:50 by LeeRoth « Pages 1 2 all »	20	2349	08/18/20 at 17:05:34 By: grandpatzer
Polugaevsky Tournament 1994 This is not a recent tournament of course, but I discovered this great footage of the Polugaevsky Tournament, Buenos Aires 1994. It was a thematic tournament. Players had to open with the Open Sicilia... Started 03/13/20 at 20:47:24 by grandpatzer « Pages 1 2 all »	19	1883	05/29/20 at 23:28:50 By: JonathanB
Poll: Candidates 2020 how to proceed Okay so given the discussions about the now halted candidates tournament let's have a poll. What should happen?

Magnus Invitational Congrats to Magnus. The semi-finals and finals were thrilling. Maybe even more so because of the errors. Kudos to the organizers and the commentators for pulling off the event under difficult... Started 05/03/20 at 18:46:24 by LeeRoth	0	271	05/03/20 at 18:46:24 By: LeeRoth

World Championship / Carlsen-Caruana Can't believe there's no thread about this yet! G1 was a Rossolimo (! Carlsen might be serious about spending more time in the Sicilian - wonder if that half-implies that also his recent dabbling...

Kramnik in the Candidates' Great news for Kramnik fans like me. Agon has actually made a decision that doesn't place insider politics over sound reasoning (it's no doubt just good business in the normal sense). It seemed to me...

Carlsen-Nakamura Chess 960 Match Did you see this incredible defense by Carlsen, largely done on the blitz increment? Unbelievable--Lasker-like resourcefulness in defense and Fischer-like accuracy in the end. Amusingly, the game sta...
