"My very first book was a games collection of Anatoly Karpov. On the whole I was attracted by positional play with some tactics, and already then I was aiming for universality."

Rest day at #TataSteelChess in Wijk aan Zee is a perfect moment to watch the 1979 gem "The Love for Wood" documentary on the Dutch chess players (with English subtitles!). You can see Jan Timman, Hans Ree, Piet Hein Donner, Max Euwe and others.

"Chess is more than just a game. It's a way to relax for people who have been working all day and it's been said that chess is good for cognition. For sure it enhances systematic thinking," - says former world champion and FIDE President Max Euwe in the documentary.

Carlsen & Nakamura both miss the 2021 Grand Chess Tour.
Henrik Carlsen: "To try to make a schedule with 4 GCT tournaments, Norway Chess & the Champions Chess Tour would give an enormously tight program, even without a World Championship match"

"From time to time, like many other players, I glance through my own games of earlier years, and return to positions and variations which have gone out of practice. I attempt to restore them, to find new ideas and plans."
