Carlsen- Nepo WC match, Nov 26 start https://chess24.com/en/read/news/carlsen-and-nepomniachtchi-young-rivals Thoughts on this? Coming this month. I'd say it's about 60-40 odds to Carlsen.

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	4770	10/16/20 at 22:59:35 By: Confused_by_Theory

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	5462	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.

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...
