   Jun-26-25 R Praggnanandhaa vs A Erigaisi, 2025 (replies)
 
greed and death: A piece of advice that has rarely steered me wrong is "don't give up a fianchettoed king's bishop unless its for the opponent's same-color bishop". Erigaisi opts to ignore this with 15... Bxc3 and while it may not have been a decisive mistake in and of itself, by the final ...

greed and death: "Sovtorgsluzhashchie" (Совторгслужащие) are members of a trade union for workers in the trade/retail/sales industry, coming from mashing together the phrase "sovietskiy torgovyy sluzhashchiy"(советский торговый служащий)

greed and death: <Check It Out> I too hope that the trend of just rapid and blitz tournaments subsides at the top level. Sometimes I think it is a pity that the modern elites do not seem to have the same attitude as Botvinnik <"Yes, I have played a blitz game once. It was on a ...

greed and death: <dehanne: Where's Hans?> Perhaps Tristan Niermann has a surname similar enough to Niemann that his games will suffice.

greed and death: There are some good games in this tournament so far. S Drygalov vs Rapport, 2025 is one of them, very elegant finish by Riczi
 
   Nov-26-24 Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024) (replies)
 
greed and death: The "Ding Liren" vs "Liren Ding" debate obscures the fact that the challenger likewise suffers(?) from the same affliction. Dommaraju is a patronymic, the player should be referred to as Gukesh. Of course the chess world should be at least somewhat familiar with patronymics ...

greed and death: Aronian and Niemann will almost certainly qualify to the World Cup via rating even if they don't via a tournament placing. In 2023 Wang Hao was the final rating qualifier with an Elo of 2709, which both Aronian and Niemann are currently above.

greed and death: Looks like Artemiev edged Esipenko in the tiebreaker. Nesterov, Dubov, and Najer will receive the remaining World Cup spots
