Interview with Sasikiran
Who would have thought, Krishnan Sasikiran leading the field after seven rounds with a point difference at the Mtel Masters in Sofia. But it's true. He was the only player who won yesterday, after a blunder by Mamedyarov, who was shared first with him. The round 7 material will follow later; first this interview Macaauley had with Sasikiran and his second Lev Psakhis for Chess.FM after the sixth round.
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!
