Video interview with Anish Giri
Many chess fans are keeping an eye on Hans Arild Runde's live rating list this week, as Magnus Carlsen has taken over the world's number one position from World Champion Vishy Anand. Another super talented chess player has just entered the list with a virtual rating of 2701: Anish Giri. While in Malmö, we had a chat with the Dutch GM.
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.”
In October, Peter's first book The Chess Revolution will be published!
