RIP Jonathan Penrose, who has died aged 88.
The 10-time British Champion famously beat reigning world champion Mikhail Tal at the 1960 Leipzig Olympiad.
After both finished on 11.5/18 and drew twice in the playoff, @ArjunErigaisi and @LevAronian are now going to play an armageddon game to decide who wins the #TataSteelChessIndia blitz!
