#OnThisDay 50 years ago Bobby Fischer won what would eventually be his very last tournament: the Palma de Mallorca Interzonal, before beating Taimanov, Larsen (both 6-0), Petrosian and Spassky to become the 11th world champion.

Polina Shuvalova suffers her first loss at the Russian Women's Superfinal against experienced Alisa Galliamova.
Despite the loss, Shuvalova still maintains half a point lead over Alexandra Goryachkina, whom she's gonna face in the penultimate round.
The leader of the women's tournament Polina Shuvalova lost the first game; her rival was the repeated Russian women's champion Alisa Galliamova.
First round finished without big surprises (although French GM Lagarde and Austrian GM Dragnev drew their games). Tomorrow we'll start with lectures and a cocktails' masterclass!
