Here's a nice picture of Gukesh D after winning the #FIDECandidates tournament as the youngest player ever! What a whirlwind of a last two rounds.

What an amazing last round of FIDE today. Fabiano Caruana trying to find a win to force a tie-break tomorrow. Game is still going. youtube.com/watch?v=UCE-Ar9udOU

Oh my, Fabiano Caruana and Gukesh D both won in the penultimate round of the #FIDECandidates Tournament! Gukesh has a half point lead as the last round sees Hikaru play Gukesh and Fabi play Ian. This means it's a must win situation for Ian, Hikaru and Fabi. Will Gukesh keep his lead?

Updated standings graph after round 12 of the #FIDECandidates Tournament. There's a 3-way tie in the open and Tan Zhonyi is the sole leader in the women's. Let me know how these graphs can be more useful 😉

Crazy round in the Open #FIDECandidates, Hikaru and Gukesh caught up to Ian and are now in a 3-way tie for first. Fabi also won and is only half a point behind the leaders. Who do you think will win? Will there be a tiebreaker?

I really can't believe how close it is in the open section of the #FIDECandidates after round 10. Two players are tied for first: Ian and Gukesh, while three players trail by only half a point: Hikaru, Fabiano and Pragg. Can't wait for round 11 to start:

The Evan's Gambit doesn't appear at Candidates level chess that much. In fact, it doesn't occur that much in top level chess since the late 1800's.

I've not faced it for about 30 years but my repertoire is on the board 🙂

Wow, Chinese star Zhongyi Tan looks to be winning brilliantly today from the same structure she won from yesterday, just with colours reversed.

Don't play the Carlsbad against her!

Amazing achievement to win the first game in the #FIDECandidates by Tan Zhongyi against one of the pre-tournament favorites! It brings her a step closer to becoming the challenger of the World #Chess champion Ju Wenjun.
