Prague Chess Festival 2021 - 14th to 20th June 2021
Thought this one might be worth mentioning just for the performance of "local hero" David Navara - who has lost his first three games! ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Yes, horrible to see him so out of form. Another blunder that would embarrass a 150 today.
edit: although with hindsight, maybe watching with a computer meant I was overly harsh. Although still not clear to me he played into the line deliberately, even if he might get away with it

At least he managed to draw today.

Meanwhile Shankland is crushing it. Typically, he's probably been working harder than his colleagues during the long pause. I hope he can sustain it, his unusual career trajectory is an inspiration.
