Winning starts with what you know
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.
Tomorrow, on 13th July, the "Masters Final" begins in the Campos Eliseos Theatre in Bilbao. Six of the world's best players take part and turn the "Masters Final" into one of the strongest events of the year. Particularly exciting is the clash between Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin who will play for the World Championship in November.
But with Hikaru Nakamura, Anish Giri and Wesley So three more top 11 players start in Bilbao and they will try to steal the show from Carlsen and Karjakin. The sixth participant also adds excitement to the tournament: Chinese Grandmaster Wei Yi is the youngest player in the field and many see in him the next World Champion.
Last year Wei Yi was the shooting star of the chess scene but after his steep rise he suffered some setbacks and currently has a rating of 2696. But his rating will surely go up again when he gets used to playing in top tournaments.
All games are shown live on playchess.com and commentated in German and in English (access to the live commentary is free for premium members).
