Re: 2022 US Chess Championship
I've mostly been following Krush v Zatonskih, which just reached the time control. Black spent a lot of time establishing a passive but defensible position and nearly let the defensible bit slip playing the last few moves on the increment. Objectively she should still hold on, which would probably g...

Re: 2022 US Chess Championship
Caruana and Aronian off the pitch already after fifteen minutes. And thirty-four moves.

Material for adult beginners and near-beginners
I just found out a guy I've known for two decades, must be in his forties, took up chess a couple of years ago. He's asked me for some book recommendations: he says "I'm still yet to beat an adult player in my club....my openings are fine, my middle game is shakey, my endgame is atrocious". Any idea...

Re: ECF AGM 2022
I've not read the whole thread, but out of interest, was the question raised of the 2023 Championships venue?

Re: 2022 US Chess Championship

Re: Carlsen resigns on move 2
More Dlugy Dlugy doesn't seem to have impressed too many people with this and it's probably true that he hasn't done himself too many favours in a number of ways but he's quite right that Chesscom's conduct in declaring correspondence private and then having it published is indefensible.
