Magnus Carlsen Breaks Down Harmon vs Borgov From The Queen's Gambit
Wijk aan Zee lives for chess in January. No visit this time, only the players. They must be so happy to meet and play over the board. I can't wait to see the fights! Tomorrow round 1!

Many fond memories of playing in Wijk aan Zee, where I won three times 1999-2001 and played perhaps my greatest game. Good skill to all the players and good luck to the organizers! I'll be watching! #TataSteelChess

The press conference of the winner of the interzonal tournament in Riga-1979 had to be postponed for day. Ruben Rodriguez (PHI) really wanted to beat the winner and leave the last place. But it turned out the opposite. 14 (17) was one of the best results in the history of chess.
