The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
The last ‘regular’ tournament of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour, the Aimchess US Rapid, is taking place from August 28 to September 5.
The knockout matchups consist of 4-game matches on the first two days. If the match score is 1-1, two 5+3 games are then played followed, if needed, by Armageddon, where White has 5 minutes to Black’s 4, but a draw counts as a win for Black.
The time control is 15 minutes for all moves, with a 10-second increment from move 1. No draw offers are allowed before move 40.
