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.
The game that the new European Champion, Meri Arabidze, played against her Georgian compatriot Salome Melia in the last round of the tournament was an exciting affair. It was a draw that could have ended differently, as Arabidze actually had a clear advantage near the end of the encounter.
Oliwia Kiolbasa did not have it easy on the second board, as she played a full-fledged imbalanced game against Greece’s Stavroula Tsolakidou. Meanwhile, on board 4, Aleksandra Maltsevskaya — a Russian-born IM now representing Poland — played fearlessly and defeated 2021 European champion Elina Danielian with black. Maltsevskaya’s win granted her third place in the final standings, as the player with the best tiebreak score out of the four that ended with 8 points.
Incidentally, Georgia, the home country of the European champion, considers itself a European country in terms of its cultural self-image, but due to its location on the southern slope of the Caucasus, many geographers consider it to be part of Asia, either in whole or in large part.
