🔗 Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63):
A short story about the night before this fateful game that made me the world champion 35 years ago today. The evening of November 8, I received two phone calls from two former world champions, both named Mikhail. 1/3

On November 9, 1985, thirty-five years ago, Garry Kasparov became world champion after a Herculean effort against Anatoly Karpov. Scenes from the Soviet television archive: https://bit.ly/2IlYPv5
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Mikhail Botvinnik, my old teacher, the Patriarch of Soviet chess, was typically him. Very serious voice, seeing the good and bad. "Garry, whatever happens tomorrow, you showed that you were worthy after they canceled the first match, that you are equal to Karpov." 2/3

The next phone call was was from Mikhail Tal, who had a very different message and style. "Garry, remember that tomorrow is my birthday, and I fully expect you to deliver the present!" So Happy Birthday to him today as well! 3/3

Dear Unity Team Championship Participants,

Since that was our first International team tournament and many players didn’t know about our new rule and also in our tournament site in Lichess we didn’t explain it how to play correctly under the camera in Zoom, we are going to accept all players who attended in Zoom for this time.

At least now all players know about this new rule and we are going to apply it from the next tournament (U2200 Championship).

Please don’t forget, this is our new rule for playing under camera:

🔴Video camera needs to cover the full view of the screen and player body. 


Best Regards,

Pedram Atoufi

The real-life story of Vera Menchik, the undisputed women's world chess champion and the first woman to challenge men grandmasters, was even more fascinating than that of the fictional protagonist of "The Queen's Gambit"
