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	1851	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	1521	05/29/20 at 23:28:50 By: JonathanB

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	218	05/03/20 at 18:46:24 By: LeeRoth

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 »	15	1444	03/27/20 at 21:41:28 By: Confused_by_Theory

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...

Under 2200 Tournaments in France I started looking around for some tournaments to play within a 200km or so radius of where I live, but unfortunately almost all of the ones that seemed interesting were restricted to players under 220...

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...
