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.

One of the first tournaments held in Russia after the Corona crisis was a chess festival in Chelyabinsk. It was organised in memory of Igor Kurnosov, a Grandmaster from Chelyabinsk, who died on August 8, 2013, at the age of 28, in a car accident, and Alexander Panchenko, a Grandmaster and renowned trainer, who was also born in Chelyabinsk.

Surprise winner of the the strong Open was Semen Khanin. With 7.0/9 the International Master shared first place with GM Dmitry Kokarev and GM Maksim Chigaev but won on tiebreak.

In the following two games good opening preparation and energetic play brought him two quick wins with Black.

Na5 15.Qb4 b6 16.Ba6 Rb8 17.Rfd1 Bc6! The start of an interesting maneuver that allows Black to seize the initiative. 18.a4 Ba8 19.Rab1 c5!? 20.Qa3? The opening did not go well for White and now he loses the thread. He had to play 20.dxc5 e.g. Nc6 21.Qf4 Qxc3 22.Ne4 with equal chances. 20...e5! 21.dxc5? But taking the pawn now loses immediately. Rxd2! 22.Rxd2 Qg6 23.Bf1 Qxb1 24.Rd7 Bxg2! A nice tactical shot ends the game. After 25.Kxg2 Qg6+ 26.Kh1 Qc6+ White loses an exchange and would be a whole rook down. 0–1
