Sindarov "misclicks" OTB, and Carlsen allows a takeback.
Props to Carlsen for the sportsmanship, though he had every right to make Sindarov stick with the move. Anyone who plays #chess knows it’s also completely fair not to allow a takeback.

When a player looks at the opponent's face, you know he's winning.
Keymer, again, leads Carlsen in a big knock-out match, and hopefully he won't lose it like the last time (at World Cup).

According to Russian FM Punin Andrii, who described himself as a Fair play consultant at Chess.com, Javokhir Sindarov, Nodirbek Yakubboev, Shant Sargsyan, Jaime Santos Latasa, Hans Niemann, and Parham Maghsoodloo all used to have accounts closed on Chess.com for fairplay reasons.

Smothered mate in real life (at GM level no less). Nice of Pijpers to allow Yakubboev to deliver the actual mate.

As of Jan 2025, every 42 female grandmasters is alive, with most who earned the title since 2000 still active. China and Russia lead in numbers, with seven countries producing multiple female GMs. Nearly all hail from Europe or Asia, except Irina Krush, representing the USA outside those continents.

Yeah I knew that's what you meant. Dvoretsky created a study which kind of be opposite of that. It looks like this I think but White to move. Win or draw?

Yes you're right. That is one of the classic diagonal king movement Réti puzzles. And this is his original study on that matter I think. From more than 100 years ago. Such a legend

This position was made by none other than the endgame study master Richard Réti. White's position seems hopeless, since his own pawn is doomed and he cannot capture any of Black's without allowing another to run down and promote. But can he force a draw here?

Great to see Nodirbek Abdusattorov back to his best at Wijk aan Zee! He's leading the Masters tournament heading into the first rest day. The Uzbek also found a brilliant combination here to secure the win. Can you spot it? Black to move.

14-year-old IM Lu Miaoyi scored an impressive win against world #62 Frederik Svane in Round 3 of the Tata Steel Chess Challenger in Wijk aan Zee! A major blunder by Svane gave Lu the opportunity, and she capitalized brilliantly.
What's the winning move here?
