The 2020 Candidates for Couch Potatoes - US Chess
The 2020 Candidates Tournament starts Tuesday. Did you forget? (It’s ok. You’ve probably been preoccupied with… other things.) No worries – CLO has you covered....
Portraits of the players in the 1959 Candidates' tournament (held in the Yugoslav cities of Bled, Zagreb and Belgrade), from the tournament book by Ragozin and Gligorić, published in Belgrade in 1960.

Old Victor Korchnoi vs young Magnus Carlsen.
As far as we know Carlsen lost on time in a worse rook ending where he was a pawn down.
