This one is going to get a lot of attention I think... I start with a short round-up of my tournament in Llucmajor, with some comments on my newly-found algorithm and last round disappointment. And yes, I do think the Tarrasch is a hopeless...

So I just got back from the 2017 Ontario Open in Ottawa. As usual I scored 3/6 (50%) in the Open section, which sounds pretty good but resulted in a loss of rating points. I'm thinking I need to go play in New York at some point. ...

This "announcement" will not come as much of a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to my chess activities, coming as it does more than a year late. I started doing occasional ChessTV shows as time permitted last year, including the 20...

The interview I'm going to show you is... controversial and bizarre, to say the least. GM Valery Salov at one time was among the world championship contenders (and has a good score against many of his contemporaries), but in the late 1990s, he beg...
