Yeah, Edna, they should have known that a true queen does not announce herself

TBD

There is still one Round of 16 match left to play in the 4th Online Women’s Speed Chess Championship Main Event — namely, the match between four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and top seed 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) and the young American star 叶诗雯 (Carissa Yip). The big showdown was delayed more times and not (yet) rescheduled. Now, finally, a statement by the organisers — available online only for a few hours — claims that “[it] is TBD”.

18. Rf1. This appears quite counter-intuitive. White’s best policy was now to offer the exchange of Queens at f4 or g3 with roughly even chances. 18. ... Bd7 19. Ng3 g6 20. a4?! (20. c4!? h5) 20. ... Kg7 21. Rd2 Re5 22. Rfd1 Qb4 23. Bf1 h5 24. Rd4 Qe7

A Voice from the East

The Longest Yard

12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov highly praised the performance of the only Russian participant in the Candidates Tournament 2022: “By all rights Ian Alexandrovich Nepomniachtchi is leading the tournament, but it is important for him not to relax at the finish line and not miss his chance. He almost did the job”, he told R-Sport. “Ian Alexandrovich was able to overcome the psychological complex which arose from his World Chess Championship match with Magnus Carlsen. Most likely, he developed a complex against Carlsen, while against other opponents Ian Alexandrovich really does play brilliantly”, Karpov said. “He’s a great guy, one can only praise him. But, after all, everyone has his own archenemy — for him, it is Carlsen, and no one else”.

Yeah, Edna, it seems like no one is really interested in what you are saying

Presence and Absence

Nimzo-Indian Defence E48

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 0-0 5. Bd3 d5 6. cxd5 exd5 7. a3 Bd6 8. Qc2 Na6 9. Nge2 c5! Good old moves: Black will be compensated for the isolated Queen’s Pawn by a dynamic piece-play.

10. Bxa6!? This sounds like just another case of contemporary, computer-inspired theory, which is not exactly what it pretends to be — an improvement over human judgment. That is, 10. dxc5 Nxc5 11. b4 Nxd3+ 12. Qxd3 Be6 13. Bb2 a5 14. b5? (⌓ 14. Nb5) 14. ... Ng4 15. Nd4 Ne5 16. Qe2 Rc8 17. h3 Nc4 18. 0-0 Qf6 19. Nd1 Qg6 20. Kh1 Bd7 21. a4 Rfe8 22. Bc3 Re4 23.

16. bxa6?! It was better to keep the b-file closed with 16. a4. 16. ... Rxa6 17. Rd1 Rb6 18. Rd2?! Taking the Pawn would be inadvisable: 18. Nxd5? Nxd5 19. Rxd5 Qb8! with an overwhelming advantage for Black. Perhaps it was better for White to give up a Pawn by 18. Ba1 (18. ... Bxa3), but it’s not easy for one who aims high to accept such a relative failure. 18. ... Qc8 19. f3?! Indeed, 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén) has good reason not to castle (19. 0-0 Bxh3!), but his convoluted, artificial arrangement proves to be pernicious. Giving up a Pawn by 19. Ba1 Bxa3 was probably still his best bet for survival. 19. ... Re8 20. Kf2?! (20. Nd1 Rc6) 20. ... Qb8. Breakthrough threats, also involving a Rook sacrifice, are hanging over White’s encampment. But 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén) is apparently oblivious to the danger: 21. Qc1?! 21. Bc1 Rc8 is also very bad for Black, but at least it avoids the next devastating blow.

21. ... Rxe3! 22. Nd1 (22. Kxe3 Bc5+ 23. Nd4 Qe5+−+) 22. ... Re8 23. Ne3 Rb3 24. Ng4 Bxg4 25. hxg4 Rc8 26. Qa1 Bf4 0 : 1.
