My one classical game with Hans Niemann was from the 2017 World Open. There we met in the 8th round, the penultimate round. He was rated a bit shy of 2300 FIDE, having reached the FIDE Master title about a year previously and having slid back a bi...

Draws get a famously unfair bad rap in chess. As is often noted, a perfectly played game of chess is a draw. Still, there are certainly draws that can be dry, unsymmetric, and uninteresting. It's also true that draws have a dramatic disadvantage i...
Foolish Brilliance I've been playing some more rapid games recently to try and get back some rating. In the process, I've had some wacky games that I'm going to share with you guys. Game 1 In the first game, I was playing with the white piec...
Why is Nick Saban, the well-known American college football coach, playing chess with a duck (yes, it’s a duck, not a goose) in a TV commercial? Does the coach even know how to play chess (much less the duck)? More seriously, why are TV comm...

Johannes Zukertort was a protege of Wilhelm Steinitz, but for some time it seems as though he might surpass his mentor. The collegial rivalry between the two culminated in the first ever World Chess Championship in 1886. Zukertort could not have s...

In my previous post, where I wrote about how chess is a lost art, I presented a blitz chess game that I played in order to illustrate how exactly it was artful and that it was the exception to the rule so to speak in that most other matches nowada...
