FM Stephen Dishman also moved to 2/2 in the European Senior Chess Championship, also benefitting from a bad error! Josep Maria Sayrol Clols found out the hard way that his tactical find didn't work #chess #englishchess

@eternalhopeoaks Took me a bit longer than it should have to realise why!

I got a fast win in round two when my opponent blundered.
I was expecting a big fight here after ... Nd5, but instead he carelessly played ... Be6?
why was that a mistake? 🤔

GM Daniel Gormally has started off with 2/2 in the 50+ of the European Senior Chess Championship. In Rd 2, Jeroen Van den Bersselaar (black) handed him a gift on move 16 #chess #englishchess

The European Women's Championship had a break today. WGM Elmira Mirzoeva's early title charge was derailed with two defeats. One of those who beat her, Ukrainian teenager WFM Anastasiia Hnatyshyn, has won all 6 matches so far! Mirzoeva sits 18th on 4/6 #chess #englishchess

In Rd 4 of the European Women's Championship, WGM Elmira Mirzoeva beat FM Anna-Maja Kazarian in an enthralling game to continue her 100% record and move to top board for Rd 5. #chess #englishchess

In Rd 2 of the European Women's Chess Championship, WGM Elmira Mirzoeva beat WFM Maritsa Tsirulnik to move to 2/2 #chess #englishchess

[English Chess Tracker @EngChessTrack]

@AjedrezGuy @eternalhopeoaks Yeah I thought this. I think this is likely the biggest factor. Sleep deprivation and a change in priorities.

[English Chess Tracker @EngChessTrack]

Sorry for my lack of activity recently. The Women's European Women's Championship has been ongoing, and WGM Elmira Mirzoeva's march to the top table deserves a recap. It started with a Rd1 win over WCM Nika Venskaya #chess #englishchess

[English Chess Tracker @EngChessTrack]

The European Women's Chess Championship 2026 is under way in Batumi. FM Bodhana Sivanandan got off to a winning start vs WIM Teja Vidic in Rd 1 #chess #englishchess

[English Chess Tracker @EngChessTrack]

Unfortunately, IM Maximillian Lu played spoiler to Banerjee's ambitions. #chess #englishchess

[English Chess Tracker @EngChessTrack]

FM Supratit Banerjee is in with a chance of a second IM norm tomorrow. After beating FM Arvin Rasti in Rd 8 of the Hotel Stockholm North 9th GM Tournament (below), I believe a draw tomorrow vs IM Maximillian Lu will be enough for the norm #chess #englishchess

[Tommy US open vibes @eternalhopeoaks]

my third winning wkd in a row! but sadly, no 2800+ perf this time ☹️

[Tommy US open vibes @eternalhopeoaks]

Can I become European senior chess champion? https://t.co/n8Pm6AW1jq via @YouTube

@eternalhopeoaks Dunno, but remember when Figes got caught writing negative reviews against all his rivals under a fake name on Amazon?
