The king, which during the opening and middlegame stage is often a burden because it has to be defended, becomes in the endgame a very important and aggressive piece, and the beginner should realize this, and utilize his king as much as possible.

For the first time, there are only 35 players on or above 2700.0 since http://2700chess.com was launched in May 2011, when there were 39 (the maximum amount of players on or above 2700.0 was 53) #deflation

Magnus Carlsen wins 8.5:4.5 in the end and is the first player through to the Last 16 of the #BanterBlitzCup!

After 115 moves in the last game of Portugal Open, Polish IM Stachowiak blunders in an apparently drawn ending by playing Rxh5?? allowing a killer blow by GM Aryan Tari who ends the event with a decent 7/9! Can you find it?
