Hikaru Doesn't Need to MOVE to Checkmate?!
The new Champion of Azerbaijan will be decided tomorrow. The first game of the final between grandmasters Nijat Abasov (2665) and Vasif Durarbayli (2606) ended in a draw. The winner will also get a spot in the #FIDEWorldCup 2021.
"All chess players know what a combination is. Whether one makes it oneself, or is its victim, or reads of it, it stands out from the rest of the game and stirs one's admiration."
