Amateur versus professional: a theoretical duel
Chess News Aug 6, 2020 | 18:17 PIn the mid-1970s Helmut Pfleger, who today, August 6, celebrates his 77th birthday, was one of the top 50 players of the world. But he was a doctor by profession and despite all his successes in chess he always remained an amateur. So he often had a hard time against the professionals when it came to opening theory. Nevertheless, in a theoretical duel against one of the greatest opening experts of the time, he won one of the most important games in the history of the Chess Olympiads. | Photo: Helmut Pfleger | Photo: Hartmut Metz

Jay-Z is King, Beyoncé his Queen
Chess News Aug 6, 2020 | 17:05 P"Black Is King" is a new film - or "visual album" - by pop star Beyoncé that is based on Disney's animated film "The Lion King" from 1994, which has inspired not only the third-longest-running musical in Broadway history but also a 2019 remake. Rapper Jay-Z, chess fan and husband of Beyoncé, plays a prominent role in "Black Is King" and added some chess flavour to the movie. Which is entertaining to watch but not always in line with the rules and customs of chess. In the online magazine "Slate" Matt Guthrie took a closer look at the film and its chess scenes. | Photo: Screenshot of Jay-Z in "Black Is King" (Disney+)

Carlsen eases to victory of Chess24's Legends of Chess Online tournament - Day 14
The Week in Chess Aug 4, 2020 | 20:22 PMagnus Carlsen was still a little dissatisfied with his play at the Chess24's "Legends of Chess"tournament saying that he thought there were long stretches at the Chessable Masters wherehe played better but in terms of results he completely dominated this event winning every single match andin the final stages beating Peter Svidler and Ian Nepomniachtchi in the fastest possible way using just threegames in each of the four sets he needed.In game one Carlsen said he just decided on the spur of the moment to use the London Systemvs the Gruenfeld which he plays extremely well. Nepomniachtchi got a very complex fightand according to the computer he stood better but 15...Nh5 was the start of things goingwrong and 16...f5 played after some thought and met by a grimace from Carlsen was the losingmove, something Carlsen knew before he played it. On move 27 Nepomniachtchi couldn't bear lookingit anymore and resigned. In game two there was a sharp fight in a Sicilian but once the tacticsstarted Nepomniachtchi was outplayed in just a few moves between move 16 and 21 when hewas dead lost. Carlsen took his time brining home the point but never let the win go.In the final game Carlsen[…]

Carlsen takes the lead in the Legends of Chess Final - Day 13
The Week in Chess Aug 3, 2020 | 19:05 PMagnus Carlsen defeated Ian Nepomniachtchi in the first set of thefinal of Chess24's Legends of Chess. Carlsen was pushed all the waybut seemed to fancy his chances in a blitz tie-break and that provedto be a good choice today.Carlsen took the lead by winning the first game with black in a verymessy Sicilian Najdorf. After a complex middle game the players reacheda balanced but very tricky Queen and Pawn endgame. Nepomniachtchi'sunfortunate choice of 35.Ka2 (35.Kc2!=) should have cost himthe came after 35...h3 but by this stage the players were veryshort of time, 38.Qd4+ was equal according to the computer andafter 38.c6 Carlsen was winning (there was a Qb5 mate that Nepomniachtchihad to spend a tempo dealing with) and in the end he could trade to a winningpawn endgame. Game 2 was an Exchange Gruenfeld with Carlsen as white, thegame was pretty complicated which eventually reached a drawn Queen endgame.Game three was a bulls eye for Nepomniachtchi's preparation, Carlsen startedthinking after 10.a4 and just got further and further behind on the clock,and with seconds not minutes left his 19....h5 (19...Bxg5 is the only move to keep going)just fell to a straightforward sacrifice. Carlen used his final game with whiteto play for[…]

Nepomniachtchi beats Giri to make the final of the Legends of Chess - Day 12
The Week in Chess Aug 2, 2020 | 20:02 PIan Nepomniachtchi overcame the frustrations of losing the second set yesterday tobeat Anish Giri 1.5-0.5 in the blitz and qualify for the final of Chess24's Legendsof chess by 2 sets to 1. They had earlier drawn all their rapid games, all of which were hard fights.The match was incredibly tense - if perhaps not the greatest chess - as Nepomniachtchi pointed outthat by this stage of the event the players are very tired. Carlsen in finishing his match so quicklythat he made himself an extra rest day today. Nepomniachtchi's only chance to reachthe final four of the tour is to beat Carlsen which is a tough ask.The key moment in game one was the shocking 22...Rd1 which perhaps wasn't objectively thebest but it allowed Nepomniachtchi to equalise pretty much on the spot - the sequence23.Rcxd1 Qxd1 24.Qe3 leaves white pushing for a win. Game two was drawn in 64 moves, Giri won a pawnbut it was probably still a drawn endgame. In game three Giri was definitely pushing for a winbut he didn't miss any clear chances. Game four was also drawn with Giri pushing a bit with black.Nepomniachtchi thought he was favourite once they reached the blitz, he has[…]
