Arjun Erigaisi wins the Tata Steel Chess Challengers tournament!

♟| It was not that Shuvalova did not get chances: she was better in the opening but after she blundered a pawn in the middle game matters went from bad to worse for her against Jumabayev what resulted in a loss!!

♟| Warmerdam is three pawns down against Murzin but has such a great lead in development that right now he is the favourite to win the game!

Max Warmerdam plays a draw in a curious game against Murzin Volodar

♟| A fine victory for l'Ami against Ganguly. The grandmaster from India was an exchange up but strategically lost in a for that reason remarkable ending!

Is it possible to play uber fast in Blitz and beat your opponent?

Hungary no.6 GM Viktor Erdos adapted a strategy which everyone wonders at least once in their chess career - is it possible to play a Blitz game uber fast and put pressure on your opponent? The answer is yes. However, executing is always quite a challenge.

Happy 85th birthday to the legendary tenth world chess champion and two-time Soviet champion, Boris Spassky! 🏆🎉

The 10th World Champion, Boris Spassky, was born on this day in 1937.

He won the title by defeating Tigran Petrosian on his second attempt (Moscow 1969), after a failed challenge in 1966, but conceded it to Bobby Fischer three years later. He is the oldest living World Champion.
