Congratulations to Anish Giri for winning the Tata Steel tournament for the first time.

After being runner-up for 5 times (of which once losing a crazy tiebreaker), he made it happen.

[excludedmiddle]

One genuinely weird chess statistical anomaly I have no explanation for - the current group of players who've dominated the chess world were born in the late 80s to early 90s, the youngest (Anish Giri and Wesley So) being born in 1994.

Then chess greatness essentially skips 9 years, to Alireza Firouzja in 2003.

There are 33 players currently above 2700, but only 6 of them are born between 1995-2002, of the ages 21-28, despite this being (in theory) your prime years as a chess player. Only 1 is in the top 10, Richard Rapport, at rank 10. The next best is at rank 20.

There are already 4 younger players up there, as well, including the aforementioned Firouzja at rank 6 (and he was rank 2 not all that long ago).

Conversely, in 2015, 18/44 of the players above 2700 were in that range (21-28). The difference is even more stark when you get to the top 10 - ranks 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8 were all in their mid 20s.

Only one player above 2700 was younger than 21.

Among other things, this hammers home how incredibly strong Magnus Carlsen is - he was born smack in the middle of the greatest generation in chess history in the midst of the engine revolution, and he's dominated the field to a frankly ridiculous degree.

Iradas & Raivosas

Está se iniciando hoje 11/10/2023 um dos maiores torneios de xadrez até agora já realizados: o Qatar Masters Open 2023. Com 518 participantes, o supertorneio teve de ser dividido em dois grupos A e B, com 254 jogadores em cada grupo. O país com maior representação é – claro – a Índia, com 204 representantes. Segundo opinião geral, um enxadrista da Índia será o próximo Campeão Mundial. O gigantismo também influenciou a organização, que teve de aplicar o Sistema Suíço em 9 rodadas, ao invés do mais popular Robin-Round. O evento será realizado de 11 a 20 de outubro na cidade de Doha, Qatar. É sem dúvida um dos torneios de xadrez mais fortes do mundo, o evento apresenta os Super Grandes Mestres (GM) Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Dommaraju Gukesh, Anish Giri, que, entre outros competidores, disputam um prêmio total de mais de US$ 108.000.00. O controle de tempo das partidas será de 90 minutos para os primeiros 40 lances, com 30 minutos adicionais para o resto do jogo e um incremento de 30 segundos a partir do primeiro lance. Algumas ausências serão lamentadas: Hans Moke não está listado, como também não se verá a bandeira brasileira flutuando no mastro do famoso Grand Hyatt Hotel. Tem representante de quase todos os países, da Somália ao Cafundó-do-Judas, mas – como todos sabem – o Planeta Terra termina nos USA… (11/10/2023)

Para que não digam que não falei de flores, registro que começou ontem o II Manaus Chess Open, que irá até17 de outubro no Novotel, Manaus, Amazonas. Fazendo uma referência ao AM, o torneio só tem fera! Essa competição se firma como um dos eventos de realce aqui entre nós e nesta segunda edição conta com a presença de 10 Grandes Mestres, 6 brasileiros e 4 "hermanos": 2 do Uruguai e 2 do Paraguai, que disputarão com unhas, dentes, rasteiras e garras o prêmio de R$ 45 mil. O problema é que esses torneios são como as estradas brasileiras - toda esburacada. Explico: há uma gigantesca diferença de "rating" entre os competidores, em desfavor dos mais fracos e iniciantes, claro. O jogador melhor ranqueado Axel Bachmann tem 2604 ao passo que vários iniciantes estão zerados (aquele método de começar com 1800 de "rating" foi descartado?). Existem outros sistemas onde os organizadores procuram compensar essa disparidade premiando por categorias. Provavelmente aqui não é feito dessa maneira porque dá muito trabalho ou aumenta o custo dos organizadores - não sei. Enfim, é um torneio de magnitude digna da cidade de Manaus, esperemos que as próximas edições sigam aumentando o seu potencial. Hoje teremos a segunda rodada. Ah, quase esqueço: o MN Sérgio Cardoso tem chances... (12/10/2023)

Segundo apurado pelo Censo 2022 do IBGE, divulgado em 2023 pelo Governo Federal – entre outros estudos – o número de casas vazias ou abandonadas é o dobro do deficit habitacional no Brasil. Quer dizer: a cada 100 domicílios, 13 estão vagos, sem utilização, sem pagar impostos e taxas que devem, provavelmente sem declarar ao fisco. Enquanto isso as comunidades e favelas crescem em número alarmante, onde populações carentes são obrigadas a morar (pagando aluguel, pois já existe o mercado imobiliário da favela), ao mesmo tempo que vira o labirinto ideal para esconderijo de tudo quanto é bandidagem. Agora, para completar o seu honroso trabalho, o IBGE tem a obrigação de também divulgar o Latifúndio Habitacional, ou seja, nas mãos de quem estão os imóveis habitacionais, principalmente nas áreas nobres das capitais e das maiores cidades brasileiras? Quando será posta em prática a Lei que dispõe serem confiscados pelos governos os imóveis abandonados, prédios históricos tombados, residências em ruínas, cujos proprietários devem milhões em impostos e taxas, além de cometerem outros ilícitos? Foi noticiada a compra pelo Senador e ex-jogador de futebol Romário, de 90 (ou mais) apartamentos da Vila do Pan 2007, para “ajudar” o Rio. Isso porque ele teve que vendê-los depois para adquirir uma fabulosa mansão na Barra da Tijuca (Rio). O Latifúndio Habitacional é grave e muitas vezes criminoso: esconderijo de lavagem de dinheiro, agiotagem, sonegação de impostos e taxas – é ruim para o país e para o brasileiro, prejudica a produção, provoca inflação monetária, leva o comércio à falência. Por isso é imperioso e patriótico que o Governo Federal promova, através dos dados do IBGE, a divulgação desses grandes proprietários, limite a quantidade de imóveis familiares por pessoa física (alguns têm tantos que criam empresas unicamente para administrá-los), tome posse do excedente e coloque à venda para quem não tem um lugar para morar com a família. A Justiça, por seu lado, tem o dever legal, moral e ético de proteger as famílias que têm um único imóvel para sua residência. (13/10/2023)

6 Little-Known Stories from the FIDE World Cup 2023

What an event we just had!

Magnus Carlsen won the FIDE World Cup 2023 in Baku, Azerbaijan, adding a major missing trophy to his cabinet.

Now he has it all – World Champion in Classical, Blitz and Rapid format. World no.1 spot. And now the World Cup! 

And we have Praggnanandhaa, who finished as the runner-up and secured a spot to the Candidates. He won our hearts with his excellent performance.

 But behind the FIDE World Cup 2023, there are a lot of stories that need to be heard too – from epic comebacks, underdogs braving the odds to excellent sportsmanship and even love.

 Each of these stories are packed with valuable chess and life lessons. Let’s see them, one by one.

Prag shines, just like Mission Chandrayaan

Praggnanandhaa took down World no.3 Fabiano Caruana and also World No.2 Hikaru Nakamura, two of the best players in the world.

With these victories, it has become evidently clear that Pragg is definitely the player to watch out for in the future. He has the game, preparation and most importantly the mindset to beat the best.

Even Magnus couldn’t beat him in the Classical section of the finals.

At the same time, India achieved another major milestone.

On 23 August 2023, our nation’s dream of landing on moon with Mission Chandrayaan 3 also came true. What a moment!

Did you get goosebumps when Chaandrayan 3 and Prag appeared on the 1st page of all the major newspapers in the country?

The local hero Nijat Abasov

The host nation, Azerbaijan, is a strong chess country. They have some of the world’s top players in Mamedyarov and Radjabov who were participating in the event.

However nobody would’ve imagined at the start what was about to happen. Mamedyarov was knocked out in the 1st round. Radjabov bowed out soon too.

All hopes were on the only remaining Azeri player – Nijat Abasov. And he rose up to the occasion.

With his exceptional performance, he beat some of the top chess players like Anish Giri, Vidit Gujrathi and almost qualifying for the Candidates before being stopped by none other than Magnus Carlsen in semi-finals.

 In fact, Nijat even had a winning chance against Magnus though he failed to capitalize it.

 Nevertheless, he gave the crowd what they desperately wanted – a hero to root for!

Salimova Nurgyul: So close, yet so far

Being seeded No.29, far from the top 10, nobody would’ve given IM Nurgyul Salimova a chance to reach the final.

Yet she proved everyone wrong with her phenomenal performace and booked a berth in the finals against her favorite women’s player of the current time – GM Goryachkina.

In the final, Salimova had a clear winning position in 3 games (not 1,2 but 3!). That victory would mean she would not only win the Women’s Chess World Cup 2023 but also directly get the Grandmaster title without having to do all the norms..

Alas, history wasn’t going to be written that way. She came close, yet was a little far from putting her hands on the World Cup.

Nevertheless, her story shows that a low starting rank doesn’t mean you can’t win a tournament. With grit and determination, the impossible becomes possible!

Goryachkina: The cold-blooded fighter

GM Aleksandra Goryachkina was hopelessly lost in 3 positions in the final vs Salimova. Once in the Classical format. Twice in the Rapid tiebreak.

And yet, she survived all those 3 times. Some may call it luck. However she deserves full credit for fighting out in those 3 positions without losing heart.

Then in the final game, she got a slight chance to win. Sensing her opportunity, Goryachkina patiently tested her opponent who had to defend a tough position in very little time.

Goryachkina won the game, and with that the Woman’s Chess World Cup 2023!

There’s a lot to learn from the way Goryachkina handled the pressure and saved all those games. Just look at her celebration after she won the final game and had become the champion. No emotions on her face. Stone-cold.

Rivals on the board, friends off the board

In the quarters, you’ll notice there were 2 Indians facing off against each other – Praggnanandhaa vs Arjun Erigaisi.

On the board, they both did their best to defeat the other. But the astonishing part happened off the chessboard. It’s a life lesson for all players, especially the youngsters.

A day before their World Cup matchup, Irene Sukander, the commentator at the event, shared this picture on Twitter.

Then on day 1, game 1 – Arjun won. Yet, they still continued their evening walk that day!

Still continuing with the evening walk…

On day 2, game 2 – Prag won. And they still went out for their evening walk!

After both games had ended in a draw

It shows that you can play hard and do your best to defeat your opponent on the chessboard. At the same time, you can continue to be great friends off the board – true champion stuff!

A Mother’s love

Praggnanandhaa’s mom was with him at every game in the World Cup. And her support played an important role.

And after GM Praggnanandhaa used to win, you could see the joy in his mother’s smile. There was a sparkle in her eyes, a glow on her face.

It’s a moment every mom dreams of – to see their child winning, to see them doing big things, to feel proud. And no better stage than the World Cup of chess to experience it all.

The smile says it all | Credits: Maria Emelianova

This World Cup offered so much to learn and experience.
