Here's the full Anish Giri vs. Wang Hao game. Finding 32.b4 and 33.Rc4 was so powerful for White!

Happy 58th Birthday to Pia Cramling, the 5th woman to earn the GM title.

One of the strongest female players to never become a world chess champion, Cramling won the 2003 & 2010 Women's European Championship and represented Sweden in both open & women's Chess Olympiads.

Buenos Aires, 1994. Pia Cramling with Miguel Najdorf and his wife Rita.

Nice win by the #personoftheday Pia Cramling, who turns 58 today.
The game if from the 1984 Biel Chess event, played against Viktor Korchnoi.

If anyone in Reykjavík can track down this car or its 1972 owner, I'd like to buy it, or whatever is left of it.
