by Shahid Ahmed
2/28/2023 – The reigning World Under-14 Open champion, Ilamparthi A R won WR Chess Junior Under-14 Boys with a perfect 5/5. He also won the Blitz event. These triumphs came 11 days after he became India's latest International Master at the 21st Rochefort Chess Festival Masters 2023. Ilamparthi, along with other participants of the junior tournament, also got training by the former world championship challenger, the legendary GM Boris Gelfand, and Germany no.1 female, GM Elisabeth Paehtz. We all hope he soon becomes a GM and strong enough to participate in the Masters events. Photo: Lennart Ootes/WR Chess 2023

WR Masters: Aronian’s missed chance

2/22/2023 – After all games finished drawn in round 6 of the WR Chess Masters, Levon Aronian continues to have a full-point lead atop the standings. The sole leader entered a sharp line with black against Wesley So, but failed to find a couple of precise continuations that would have given him very good winning chances. Three games lasted more than six hours in a round that featured plenty of tense, imbalanced positions. | Photo: Lennart Ootes

60m The London System

If you are looking for a new attacking plan against the popular Queen’s Gambit, then this download is for you. Completely new ideas after 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 turn the solid London system into a serious weapon. New approaches and Fritz analyses will catch out an unprepared opponent. Henrik Danielsen used this system to win the Icelandic blitz championship in 2011. Some strong GMs and IMs didn't realise the danger before it was too late. Even after Black’s best defence White will be able to fight for an advantage. After watching 60 minutes you have a total opening plan against the Queen’s Gambit.
