Kudos to David Anton for saving a tough position against Magnus Carlsen as the players played until bare kings after almost six hours!

It’s nice, but I think the “Crown Jewel” of Georgian chess deserves her own photo on her 60th birthday. Happy Birthday! 🇬🇪🎂

The best, double-edged game of Round 2 #TataSteelChess tournament. After the game analysis revealed an insane queen sacrifice line. Extremely enjoyable game and fun potential variations ⚔️⚔️

"The Ruy Lopez occupied a constant place in my opening repertoire. In it is reflected the classical interpretation of the problem of the centre."

From round 1 of the 1977 Cadet World Championship in Cagnes sur mer, France. I won this long Exchange Ruy Lopez game. But I didn't win this under-17 tournament, the only such title that escaped me!
