Poor Magnus...

2020/2021 have not been great to the world champ so far. He lost to So in the Skilling open in November, was knocked out by Dubov in the Airthings masters in January (Rajobov went on to win), and most recently lost to So AGAIN in the Opera Euro Rapid in February. I love pulling for an underdog, but at this point one starts to feel sorry for ol' Carlsen...

Based!

I stole this from somewhere, but it did inspire me to copy their idea exactly for this next one. ;P

Wait, what?!?

You doubt me?

Thanks to Chess Life's article, "Mysteries for Know-It-Alls" in the latest (March 2021) edition for this strange vaguery of chess history...

And that is what I have for you in this installment. Go play some chess, and hey, have some fun while you're at it!
