Re: Media comments on chess
I agree with Snooker and Darts. In my opinion Chess should be classed as a sport.

Great article about Hikaru Nakamura.
He is an exciting Chess player.
One of my Chess heroes along with Yasser Seirawan, Simon Williams and Danny Gormally.
Good to see Qiyu Zhou getting a mention. I hear she is doing very well back in Canada.
Qiyu Zhou played in the Open at the Blackpool Chess Congress 2017.
She is a very pleasant person along with her parents. I remember after a conversation with them, they offered me tea and cakes at the Imperial Hotel which I duly accepted.

I remember hearing Qiyu Zhou's Dad expressing some horror at entering the Blackpool Congress and finding out halfway through it wasn't actually FIDE rated!Simon Rogers wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 11:29 amGreat article about Hikaru Nakamura.

I see Sean Bean will be playing Mark Hebden in a new BBC series.
Regrettably not a biopic.

Great spot - I'll leave someone else to greet Mark with "Hello, Mr Bean".

Is it really true that ability in mathematics and chess are somehow linked? Tim Harford pits his wits against a math-professor-turned-professional-chess-player, John Nunn.

Re: Media comments on chess
I've been advised about this.
Glory To The Queen
"Glory to the Queen, explores an extraordinary biographical pattern between four women who became icons of women‘s
emancipation during the Soviet era. The focus lies on the legendary Soviet Georgian chess players Nona Gaprindashvili,
Maia Chiburdanidze, Nana Alexandria and Nana Ioseliani. The film leads us to Tbilisi in Georgia, where all four women live today. "
