Yesterday's game between Harshit Raja and Parham Maghsoodloo seen by Ajedrez Con Humor. 3 pawns less at the game's end were just too much for the talented Iranian GM. Still just 3rd. round (out of 10), but we have already had some surprises at this year's strong #SunwayChess..

The #GrandPrixFIDE Candidates battle goes on as the only remaining contenders, MVL and Nepomniachtchi, will now meet in the semi-finals!

Wei Yi beats Karjakin and is through to play a semifinal against David Navara!

No chance to bend GM Korobov for the young Uzbek's prodigy GM Sindarov. Earning experience can be tough, but certainly useful... #strongchess #sunwaysitges

4th round on its way in #Sitges now! Anna Rudolf and Daniel King are live at the @Chesscom studio doing an amazing job as usual! Stay tuned, see what unexpected results today's round brings...

They might have played a private match before leaving for the Students World Championship in 1957 where this photo from Kastrup Airport is from 🤷‍♂️
