Things not to say when you walk by the giant chess set at the hotel pool: “continue to ignore those glaring weaknesses in your pawn structure at your peril”

Karjakin🇷🇺 entered the top 10 in the FIDE World rankings, by beating an 8 year old kid rated 1549 in a privately organized match. We are not a serious sport.

Wherever you look in 1960s TV and film spy-fi action-adventure, chessboards seem to be almost ever-present. The ultimate metaphor for Cold War espionage – intellectual, strategic, high-stakes...

on friday penistone chess club held a small blitz tournament... unfortunately there were a few disputes as it is difficult to play blitz with analogue clocks... the top three players were tied but our president Norm Fisk declared himself the winner as he grabbed the trophy first
