Game of the Week: Wang vs Giri
3/18/2020 – The biggest sports show on earth at the minute may be the FIDE Candidates Tournament, and it also is the focus of IM Merijn van Delft's attention. | The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium account holders (but FREE for a limited time!). Merijn is live this week starting at 19:00 UTC (20:00 CET / 4 PM EST).
Master Class Vol.8: Magnus Carlsen
Scarcely any world champion has managed to captivate chess lovers to the extent Carlsen has. The enormously talented Norwegian hasn't been systematically trained within the structures of a major chess-playing nation such as Russia, the Ukraine or China.
Game of the Week #404
Chess and internet remains a very natural combination, and in these times of crisis we can fortunately still enjoy, train and play chess online. Obviously, we will talk about the Candidates tonight, which has started with a few astounding results. The main focus will be on Wang Hao vs Giri played today.
The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.
