The world's top juniors, Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus 🇹🇷 and Alice Lee 🇺🇸, are showing great results so far at the #ChessOlympiad, scoring 4.5/5 and 5.5/6 respectively.

For Yagiz, it is especially remarkable since his declared chess goal "to reach ELO 2900" matches his current tournament performance rating of 2924, and he is already World #18 on the live rating list among all players! https://t.co/KzasjT2F9L

Congrats to Nino Batsiashvili on winning a record-tying 5th Georgian Women's National Championship w/ a round to spare! 🇬🇪🥳

She still probably needs a bit more rating to qualify for the Women's Grand Prix, but the +12 so far definitely helps!

El preparador del 3.º del mundo NO es normal 🤯

[Europe Echecs @EuropeEchecs]

Boris Spassky aurait eu 89 ans aujourd’hui.
♟️ Champion du monde de 1969 à 1972, légende des échecs, il fut bien plus que le héros malheureux du « Match du Siècle » face à Bobby Fischer.
Spassky rappelait quelque peu le guerrier-philosophe, cultivé et patriote, pétri de paradoxes et de contradictions, avec un humour redoutable et parfois un sourire carnassier devant l’échiquier. Une forte personnalité, courageuse, capable de dresser des ponts entre le « monde libre » et le bloc de l’Est. Un homme de dialogue à contre-courant du monde clivant dans lequel nous vivons.
Il est l’un des derniers dont l’aura reposait, à son apogée, sur des qualités essentiellement humaines, une puissante connaissance du jeu, une imagination fertile en milieu de partie dont le style fut qualifié bientôt d’universel.

Praggnanandhaa had 14 seconds on clock - he was thinking to promote his pawn to a Queen. Pragg got lost in thoughts and when the clock reached 1 second, he picked the rook (as he couldn't find the queen). As he saw he could lose on time, he paused the clock.

While the arbiter came and the situation was discussed, Wesley quickly analyzed position and generously offered draw to Pragg! What a gem of a gesture from the American grandmaster.

He could have easily bagged the full point asking Pragg to promote in one second and continue the game. It was very likely that Pragg would not have been able to promote the pawn and would have lost on time. But Wesley saw the position was around even and offered a draw!
