Re: FIDE Open London Chess Classic
Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but is there really nothing on the London Chess Classic main event? Unless I am mistaken, Carlsen has just got knocked out at the semifinal stage, after two rather unexciting standard games and some more interesting shorter ones. His victor MVL plays Ding, who put...

Re: British Knock out 2019
This thread is perhaps in the wrong section, but more than a touch of drama in Jones v Howell yesterday?

Re: General Election 2019
I don't follow these last posts, surely Rowson is much more a philosopher than a politician? (I am trying to imagine him canvassing on doorsteps; and in my imagination, he isn't enjoying it too much).

Cummings, the man who walks around swearing at idiots, whilst himself carrying papers around in plastic bags and yelling to the Leader of the Opposition across the halls of Westminster, mistaken at first to be some mad man from the street; that Cummings - he used to be...
