World champion: Hikaru Nakamura in Reykjavik

It seems that Reykjavik is a city that only Americans can conquer, since Hikaru Nakamura recently defeated the Russian Ian Nepomniachtchi in what was a luxurious and quite complicated final that managed to satisfy the chess world for the brilliant games exhibited by both players.

The match recalls the last world championship played in the city where Bobby Fischer would defeat Boris Spasski 50 years ago, and where only Americans can taste victory.

World Chess Championship Final 960 2022

The Questionable Sodium Attack

Sodium Attack

The Sodium attack is one of those openings that will give you a lot to talk about, unfortunately not for good. The Sodium attack is a very weird opening that has rarely been playing and is interesting to see it.

The Impressive Kadas Opening

Kadas opening

The Kadas opening is an interesting and very questionable opening that will surely make you cringe. The thing is that it breaks all of the opening principles in chess, already in move one!

But the Kadas opening is not simply a blunder, you have to know that chess is very relative, like everything in life. Many conditions take part in the game of chess, even the clock, which doesn’t even have to do with chess essentially.

The point is the Kadas opening starts with an objectively bad move with white, but is still not clear how black is … Read more

The Amazing Ware Opening!

The Ware opening

The ware opening is an interesting approach to the opening, one of those rare moves that we wouldn’t recommend to anyone. However, it has interesting ideas, and you might for them, even if you think the opening is simply bad.

The opening choice is something the chess players definitely gives too much attention to, but is interesting. This is what grandmasters sometimes take advantage from and play weird openings that will allow them to confuse their rivals.

It’s interesting that I am here telling you not to play the ware opening when a grandmaster like Magnus Carlsen … Read more

Play The Interesting Modern Defense!

Modern defense

Nowadays, simple systems with a lineal plan and development are getting more and more famous. You can see for example the London system, a very simple opening with a lot of poison. Today we will talk about modern defense.

The modern defense for black is one of the brand new ideas to counter white’s queen’s pawn in the opening.

It has shown to have a lot of potentials, being a defense similar to king’s Indian and Benoni with slight differences.  We could say that black’s modern defense plays with the same idea as these two openings.

But it … Read more

In chess, each piece has a specific and limited move, and cannot move beyond its restrictions. The knight`s move is unique in the sense that it is the only move that allows it to jump over other chess pieces.

While most chess pieces only move in a straight or diagonal line, the knight can jump directly to a square that is two squares forward and one square to the left or right (or vice versa), or to a square that is one square forward or backward and two squares to the left or right (or vice versa).

This jumping movement allows the knight to bypass other pieces on the board, which allows it to move to areas of the board that might be blocked by other pieces.

Therefore, the knight move is a very important strategic move in chess, and can be used to surprise opponents and create advantage in the game #Chess #HorseMovement #ChessStrategy."

Chess is one of the oldest games in the world and is believed to have originated in northern India around the 6th century. The earliest written records of chess date back to the 7th century, although the original form of the game was quite different from what we know today.

During the Middle Ages, chess spread throughout the Islamic world and became a popular game in Europe through Spain. By the 15th century, the game had evolved into a form closer to what we know today, with the emergence of modern pieces and the creation of new rules.

Since then, chess has been considered an intellectual game and a mental sport, and has been played by people of all ages and cultures all over the world. Chess is a game that requires skills such as strategy, long-term planning and concentration, so it is considered by many as a valuable tool for mental development.

In short, chess is an ancient and fascinating game that has evolved over the centuries and remains popular around the world today.
