The European chess community mourns the passing of Grandmaster Ján Plachetka, who died on 24 May 2026 at the age of 81. A towering figure in Slovak and European chess, Plachetka leaves behind a legacy that shaped generations of players and helped establish Slovakia's place on the world chess map.

Ján Plachetka is remembered not only as a pioneer and champion, but as a gentleman of chess — one who gave everything to the game he loved. The European Chess Union extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, Slovak chess Community and all who had the honour of knowing him.

May his memory endure as long as the game he served so faithfully. #chesslegend #slovakia

Magnus: "This idea is inspired by the man himself, Vincent Keymer, and his game against Maxime from Bucharest last week, where in a Sicilian he maneuvered his knight to h3, and as he said himself, it stopped all the play on that file. I'm trying to do the same..."

Max Euwe (1901-1981) was born on this day 125 years ago.
Fifth World Champion, he was a remarkable figure in various regards. I feel his life and career could be an inspiration to many. It is easier to become a great champion when you are a genius - like Lasker or Capablanca. But how to pull it with a combination of gift, dedication and preparation? Welcome to my FB to read an essay, dedicated to Euwe.

The funniest moment I have seen in chess was during the local tournament.
The Boy (left) offered a draw to his Opponent :
- I offer You draw.
- Hmm, let's play!
- I said, I offer You draw!
- Ok, draw.
It was the funniest (forced) draw I've ever seen.
Kids! :-D

Incredible move alert!! Just when she looked dead in the water, Vaishali pulled off a miracle save against her countrywoman Divya Deshmukh. The Candidate tournaments in Cyprus have been dramatic and exciting so far!

“Fischer loves chess. But there is nothing new in this. I will merely mention that Fischer has no option other than to love chess. After all, he is unable to do anything else.”

Mikhail Botvinnik, in the article “Miracles and Reality,” published in the chess magazine '64' in 1971, after Bobby Fischer’s 6–0 victories over Mark Taimanov and Bent Larsen.
