Chess Blitz of the Day

Tournament = RAPID CHESS 2017 PARIS

Magnus Carlsen

We have very close examples of great players fought with journalists, but it does not appear that Magnus Carlsen and commentator Maurice Ashley are resentful, after the tense interview they starred yesterday. In the end, the Norwegian and imposed on the Paris Chess Tour, although for this he had to pass over the local hero, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who got a splendid performance and won in the fast mode. In the combined classification, the tie forced to play two tiebreaker matches.

Veselin Topalov

Veselin Topalov is an even more spectacular example than Anand of a player whose career took off after Kasparov retired from chess. Until that moment Bulgarian was a fixed factor among the elite - his attacking game made him one of the most popular among chess fans - but hardly a serious contender for the highest awards. All that changed when he turned 30 in 2005. First he beat Kasparov in the final round of the Linares super tournament, after which he announced his retirement from professional chess. Then Topalov confirmed that he was ready to pick up Kasparov's title with a sensational victory at the FIDE World Championship in San Luis, Argentina.

BEAUTIFUL GAME!!!
