Nepo - Ding, World Title Match, April, 2023
Hi All, there has been a subdued build up to this, perhaps a little unfairly to the two players. It won't be the first time that the player most people believe to be the strongest, is not the champion...

2020 Candidates Interrupted

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...
