Vjollca Veli, women's champion of Albania
One of the most acclaimed books of the last year or so has been Lea Ypi's Free , a memoir of her childhood in Albania in the last few years of the Hoxha regime (and in the first few years after its fall). In her third chapter, she writes of her mother, Vjollca Veli*: At twenty-two, she became the na...

Women's Candidates matches
Tournament begins this week , in Monaco. Quarter-finals and semi-finals (of four-game matches) this month and November, the final (of the tournament, not the world championship) to be held at an indeterminate date in 2023. In fact there's a lot that's indeterminate about the tournament, as I can't l...

Re: Carlsen resigns on move 2
It does seem that Chesscom may have acted unwisely when they decided to tear up their promises of confidentiality under the impression that nobody was big enough to stand up to them. It's not that I think they would necessarily lose any case: it's that (as suggested above) they may have to reveal a ...

What happened in Weenink v Kmoch?
Richard James has this , relating to the 1930 Munich Olympiad. https://i.postimg.cc/G2sX3y2J/Weenink-v-Kmoch.png A striking incident, you might think (reported, as the excerpt says, in the Evening Standard, with the clipping being from the Falkirk Herald of 30 July 1930). But do we have any informat...

Re: 2022 US Chess Championship
Another Armageddon farce to end a great event. I really don't get why they came back the next day, just to play two 10 min games and an Armageddon; why not at least play 1/2 hour games or maybe another two 10 minute games.

Blimey, I turned off after 35 Bg3 (mind you the online boards had been malfunctioning).

Re: 2022 US Chess Championship
Krush had a chance at move 60 . Seems an obvious try - wonder what she missed? Talking of "what she missed," I'd not previously seen precisely what this was about A much better day for Jennifer Yu following on from her hallucination against Krush the round before. but reading the report it turns out...
