You can hardly imagine a more depressing moment in a chess game. The untitled Marko Ivanovic (2253) played 50 great moves to reach a completely winning position against GM Volodar Murzin (2656!), only to ruin everything with 51.Nf6+... 😢

An enjoyable and hard-fought derby at the Marlborough Club last night where Didcot 1 just did enough to beat Didcot 2.

A one-move blunder by Vishy Anand, and after Ian Nepomniachtchi's move he had to resign as he would just lose a piece!

Things not to say when you walk by the giant chess set at the hotel pool: “continue to ignore those glaring weaknesses in your pawn structure at your peril”
