11/25/2021 – IM Jonathan Tisdall has been covering World Chess Championship matches for decades. His book "Moscow Marathon" from 1985 (co-authored with Jon Speelman) is a witty and insightful report about the 1984/1985 match between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov, and Tisdall's textbook "Improve Your Chess Now" from 1997 is considered a modern classic. In Dubai, Tisdall covers the match between Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi as FIDE press officer and writing about the press conference on Wednesday, Tisdall revealed "the best advice for aspiring champions". | Photo: Eric Rosen
