This interview with Hans at St Louis is interesting. Naka does not take his analysis seriously*
Naka's reaction is hilarious.
*Even as a non GM, it is a bit lame.

So in the Chess.com Global Championship 2022, err Wesley so beat Nihal Sarin in the final after beating Naka in the semis: https://www.chess.com/events/2022-chess ... hip-finals
Now we move on to the The 2022 Speed Chess Championship which should be great in late November. Final qulaifiers on now: https://www.chess.com/news/view/chessco ... s-2022-scc
Anyone interested in chess and wants to learn more, this is a decent article about books, videos and streamers about chess: https://www.chess.com/article/view/ches ... ampionship
Proudly a lot of the stuff has been mentioned in this thread. Definitely watch old stuff about Morphy, Capaplance and Alekhine, then completely about the great and crazy Bobby Fischer.
And on to K v K, Kasparov v Karpov and comments here about the legend Garry and ultimately good man Karpov.
Fast forward to Magnus now and the streaming woorld,
Englundgambit and I both like Nakamura, bith like Agadmator and both dislike Gothamchess as he is a cunt..
Avoid the Botez sisters bar viewing that they are pretty, but also pretty vacant. Honourable mentions missed in that artcile to Jerry on yt Chess Network for his bewtiful and easy to follow coverage of Chess World Championships for years, but his wonderful blitz and bullet plays and also on yt, GM Danny King, as 'Powerplay chess' for his more thoughtful from a GM mind studies of those games.
Hence Why I quote both for every Worl Chess Champioship game.

So we finally have a date and venue for the 2023 World Chess Championship.
Nepo v Ding in Astana, Kazakhstan from Apri 7 to May 1.
Not really a stunner of a final after Magnus withdrew and no western countries bothered to bid.
I'd tend to Ding, but Nepo has at least final experience. Think it will be long and attritional over any breathtaking brilliiancies.

But at least a bit of Naka from a year ago.
Remember Maugnus in his documentary talking about always games going on in the back of his mind?
Remember Beth Harmon in 'The Queens Gambit' and visual patterns in her mind?
Naka does it all on patterns and chess notation. Loses the patterns on g3, g3, g3, g3 but gets it back. What a mind.

But we all see patterns in our mind. Sadly most forget a piece or two. Good to see a Super GM, chatting away and forgetting the white lady:

I little off topic but I've been doing daily chess puzzles and just did my 1000'd. I like chess puzzles but have no idea how a novice learns chesss, Google is no help.

Good stuff, Vespa. The best thing is playing other people either over the board or online. Sites like chess.com you can play all standards and they have loads of learning tools for beginners. Give me a few months to get back into the game and will happily play you.

There are plenty of tutorial online about piece development, basic openings, pawn structure, castling, tactics, how to think and strategy and control of squares and space.

As was ill last year and as it didn't look a thriller, no coverage of Ding beating Nepo.
However, we now have the Candidates tournament to see who plays Ding later in the year and then thankfully back to a two year cycle.
In the Candidates we have no Magnus as he withdrew again but we have Naka, Nepo, Ali Firouzja, Caruana, an Azeri and a trio of Indians.
A double round-robin in Toronto so should be nice timing to watch on the usual youtubes. More details here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida ... ament_2024
Good timing with a rest day for Eclipse watching.
