Unfortunately for Fabiano Caruana he couldn't convert the endgame after such brilliant play but Jan-Krzysztof Duda's defense was impressive as well!

Very sad news: chess legend Lubomir Kavalek has passed away at 77. He was one of the greatest chess personalities of Czechoslovak and American chess.

After the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, he first moved to Germany, and shortly after to the US, where he settled and won the national championship three times.

He also represented the US at the Chess Olympiads, winning one gold and five bronze medals with the American team.

Kavalek was also a second for Bobby Fischer during his famous 1972 match against Spassky, and for Nigel Short between 1990-93.

Lubomir was also a very active chess journalist, having worked briefly for "Voice of America", and later on as a columnist for "The Washington Post".

Every year, I keep hearing from countless people: “I wish I have a coach so I can be a good chess player”. Imagine how good they would get if they started to self-improve each day, step by step, by learning tactics, endgame, strategy, etc., instead of wishing and doing nothing?
