This has to be the game of the day. Perlasca was up against Grassi back in 1907 during a local tournament. When the Copenhagen Danish Gambit appeared, all hell broke loose. Perlasca offered a few pawns here and there to open up the position but what happened next is what makes this game stands out....

Steinitz was the First Official World Chess Champion. He was extremely theoretical, very strategic and immensely sharp. Once he saw an opportunity he would go for it. In this game between Steinitz and Walsh that dates back to 1870, no engines existed and all the work had to be by oneself. Check...

This game of round 5 that was just played between two of the world’s best, resulted in a very early Bishop sacrifice by the reigning world champ Magnus Carlsen.

This is a 4 part video in one. It looks at what everything does; blunders. In some games there are more common than others but they do creep in in nearly every single game of chess. Absolutely no one is immune, including our very best of chess engines. This video looks at the game between Deep...

It’s another thrilling game out of the way. With Magnus Carlsen holding the lead, and with Ding Liren who is living a true nightmare, this game of round 13 was a matter of simple picking up the pieces. With Ding Liren losing one game after another, surely this is not his tournament. But what...

The Opera Euro Rapid of 2021 Started with 5 big bangs. No one is safe irrespective of who you are but one noticeable game has been the one between the world champ Magnus Carsen and aspiring world champ Wesley So.

If only we humans could play anything remotely as the best engines play, we would be much better at what we do. This superfinal game of round 92 is another glorious one using the same approach to game 92. The Panov Keres in the Sicilian used this time by Stockfish produced a result in the 50s move...

Seeing 4 Queens is not a unique feature but seeing 4 queens in the opening from a normal QGD Meran variation is not a picture you see every day. Maybe more spectacular was how this game continued. It’s another one for the history books but this is what the game of chess is all about. If you...

The superfinal match between the best two engines of this season’s contest, could not be more intense. With the majority of games ending in a draw, every single point counts.
