Re: British Online Chess Championships 18th December 2020 to 3rd January 2021
TWIC We need to get through the Coronavirus crisis first but I think there might be room for a British Online Championship with this format going forward. Probably unlikely, but worth thinking about. There will need to be at least one more British Online Championships. The one definite sanction bei...

Re: Airthings Masters 26th December 2020 to 3rd January 2021
TWIC day 9 report Radjabov won the World Cup in 2019 but to me this feels even more like a return to the very top of World Chess. After taking some time to get used to playing online it looks like he has discovered a real taste for the game again. I think this finally puts to rest the disaster Radj...

Re: Cheating in chess
If we do have another solid 12 months of online chess ahead of us still, I wonder if one idea might be to create a series of closed events. Invite players who people feel confident aren’t resorting to engine assistance, and leave the rest to play in other events. That's effectively what is happenin...

Re: (Chess) Life Returning To Normal
It is worth letting the Grading team know if there's anyone on the grading list who has died; I find people occasionally and let Matthew Carr know
I'd leave the obituary posting for anyone who has died within the last year only

Re: (Chess) Life Returning To Normal

Quite right, Stewart, and what is more Keith Arkell played in a First Saturday two months or so ago, announcing it advance here and w...
