Red Tulips

The Royals in the Netherlands: four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 居文君 (Jū Wénjūn) from 上海 (Shànghǎi) and 17th World Chess Champion 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén) from 温州 (Wēnzhōu) are two of the most anticipated stars at the 86th Tata Steel Chess Tournament. Photo: Tata Steel Chess.

I hope that 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén) is in better shape this time!

The fact that 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén), shortly after Wijk aan Zee, will play the first-ever super-tournament of Fischer's chess in Germany, facing the mighty Carlsen for the first time since he became World Champ, and thus fulfilling a desire that he had expressed in New In Chess (2023/4), would lead one to guess that he prepared scrupulously for what is awaiting him. Wish him good luck!
