['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-05-30

The winner of the 2nd leg of the Grand Chess Tour 2023, which took place place in Warsaw, Poland last week, is none other than Magnus Carlsen.

See diary www.dailykos.com/… for more info on and links to the tournament.

This was the position towards the end of a match in the Rapid round between Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So, with White (Carlsen) having the material advantage. See if you can figure out the next 3 moves by White, which led to a very elegant ending, after which Black resigned.

The next big tournament (currently in progress) is Norway Chess, played in Stavanger, Norway, May 29 to June 9. Details and links at norwaychess.no/...
