Curiously, the championship is being held in China but the strongest Chinese aren't participating. Jun-19-19    Imran Iskandar: Amazing game alert (for those who haven't seen it yet): A Firouzja vs M Karthikeyan, 2019 Jun-20-19    Troller: <Imran Iskandar> Thank you! That is really an amazing game. Checking the clocks on chessbomb it even seems it was OTB inspiration by Black. Jul-09-19    Tabanus: The 67-year-old Eugenio Torre ended in 59th place with 4/9. The competition is hard indeed. NOTE: Create an account today to post replies and access other powerful features which are available only to registered users.
