Corus Chess News #1
This year we're adding something new to our coverage: today we're introducing Corus Chess News, a daily news bulletin about the Corus Chess Tournament. The first episode is about yesterday's opening ceremony.In this first bulletin we're focusing on the Dutch participants in Grandmaster Group A. Some chess fans have put question marks around the participation of Daniel Stellwagen and Jan Smeets, and yesterday we asked these two GMs what they expect of their tournament. And Van Wely, he's surely planning to finish ahead of them, isn't he?
Peter Doggers joined a chess club a month before turning 15 and still plays for it. He used to be an active tournament player and holds two IM norms. Peter has a Master of Arts degree in Dutch Language & Literature. He briefly worked at New in Chess, then as a Dutch teacher and then in a project for improving safety and security in Amsterdam schools. Between 2007 and 2013 Peter was running ChessVibes, a major source for chess news and videos acquired by Chess.com in October 2013. As our Director News & Events, Peter writes many of our news reports. In the summer of 2022, The Guardian’s Leonard Barden described him as “widely regarded as the world’s best chess journalist.”
Peter's first book The Chess Revolution is out now!
