Unlike the tennis world, chess lacks an open, all-inclusive cycle that would encompass the top and the bottom of the pyramid. In chess there is a well-established upper part of the pyramid, with the World Championship match being the cherry on the top. It is an elitist system.

For Simon Williams, the Ginger GM, the title of the series evoked memories, and in this "Simon Says" show he looks back to his experiences with the Queen's Gambit, an opening that has been part of his life. | Watch "Simon Says" on-demand and with a ChessBase Premium account). (Normally 18:00 UTC (19:00 CET / 14:00 ET). 11/9/2020 35 years ago today, Garry Kasparov won the 24th game of his second World Championship match against Anatoly Karpov, and the 22-year old became the youngest World Champion in the history of chess. But Kasparov's road to success was anything but easy. | Photos: Kasparov.com 11/9/2020 What do Fabiano Caruana and the winner of the next tournament in the Playchess Autumn Series have in common? The trainer! Next Wednesday, November 11, you have the chance to win a training session with Rustam Kasimdzhanov, trainer and second of Fabiano Caruana. The Playchess Blitz tournament on last Wednesday, November 4, was won by the young German Felix Meißner, who decided that it was a good idea to follow Fischer's example - Meißner won all his games and finished the tournament with 9.0/9! 11/9/2020 The Tegernsee Masters in Bad Wiessee ended with the expected victory of Alexander Donchenko. Despite his dominant performance in the first eight rounds, the German grandmaster did not miss his chances and defeated Ashot Parvanyan on Sunday — Donchenko finished with an impressive 6½/8 score and was the only undefeated participant in the field. Matthias Bluebaum and Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu came in second and third respectively. | Photo: Amruta Mokal (Archive) 11/8/2020 Boris Grebenshchikov is a cult figure in the Russian rock scene, revered by millions (including a super-GM friend from Saint Petersburg).

On the final day of the FIDE Candidates Finals 2007 the former gave a concert and the latter a gala dinner. Big pictorial report. 11/8/2020 An online blitz tournament was organized on Friday in memory of Yuri Sergeyevich Razuvaev, an enormously respected figure for his work as a coach and an author, besides his great accomplishments as a player. Vladimir Kramnik and Evgeny Tomashevsky finished in the top two places at the 8-player single round robin, and played a final 2-game match to decide the winner — Kramnik won with black and drew with white to take first place. | Photo: Alina l'Ami / Tata Steel Chess 11/7/2020 The Candidates 2007 took place in "City Chess" in Elista, Kalmykia. This is a neighborhood-size complex consisting of a central, four-story domed City Chess Hall surrounded by an Olympic-style village of Californian-Mediterranean Revival Style architecture, all devoted to chess competition. Just getting there – in an ancient Yakovlev Yak-40 – was an adventure, as was experiencing the city and the FIDE center located there. 11/7/2020 Alexander Donchenko is on the verge of winning the Tegernsee Masters 2020, as he currently stands 1½ points ahead of his closest pursuer with two rounds to go. Nonetheless, due to Vincent Keymer’s withdrawal, the leader has a bye round on Saturday. The one player with realistic chances to catch up with Donchenko is Matthias Bluebaum, who will be paired up against Thai Dai Van Nguyen and Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu on the weekend. | Photos: Sebastian Siebrecht 11/6/2020 "There might be a few viewers who are not aware of this game..."

Pure enjoyment. 11/6/2020 In this Power Play Show, GM Daniel King features Vera Menchik, the first Women’s World Champion. King analyses the game in which Menchik defeated Albert Becker, the founder of the “Vera Menchik Club” — Becker ridiculed her entry to the Carlsbad 1929 tournament by proposing that any player whom Menchik defeated in tournament play should be granted membership into the “club”. | Power Play is on air most Fridays at 17:00 UTC (18:00 CET, 13:00 ET). All the usual puzzles, games and instruction will be on offer. | Photo: Menchik (centre) at a simul at the Bury and West Suffolk Chess Club in 1936 | suffolkchess.org.uk 11/6/2020 After twenty years as the world’s highest-rated player, Garry Kasparov decided to quit chess and go into politics in March 2005. His last event was the now legendary Linares Tournament. Kasparov had a one-point lead over Veselin Topalov going into their direct encounter in the last round — Topalov won that game, but Kasparov nonetheless won the tournament, as he had a better tiebreak score (more wins with black). | Photos: Nadja Wittmann 11/6/2020 Today, Friday, November 6, at 2:30 p.m. (in Europe) there will be another Blitz Challenge on Playchess.
