A perfect 4 out of 4 on Saturday allowed Ian Nepomniachtchi to climb to shared first place in the standings of the Levitov Chess Week tournament. The 2-time Candidates’ champion had obtained two wins (with black) and two draws (with white) on the first day of action, which means he has yet to sign a draw at the event in Amsterdam.
Master Class Vol. 12: Viswanathan Anand
This DVD allows you to learn from the example of one of the best players in the history of chess and from the explanations of the authors how to successfully organise your games strategically, consequently how to keep your opponent permanently under press
Sharing first place with the drawless Nepo is Peter Svidler. The veteran from Saint Petersburg did agree to a couple of draws on Saturday, but he also defeated Vladimir Kramnik and former sole leader Levon Aronian on his way to the top of the standings.
A double round-robin, the tournament will see the players facing each other with colours reversed on Monday and Tuesday. With the leaders on 6/9 scores and the tailenders on 3/9, it is still anyone’s game at the fancy Walford Astoria Hotel in the Dutch capital.
