A Day Off

During yesterday’s day off Chinese Grandmaster 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén), one of the major characters of 6th Altibox Norway Chess, suffered a serious accident while out biking along with his father, fracturing his hip. According to a statement made by the organisers, 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén) was carried to the Stavanger University Hospital, waiting to undergo surgery. His today’s game with Fabiano Caruana was postponed to Monday, June 4, in the hope he may be actually able to continue playing during convalescence.
