On September 6, almost two years to the day after their fateful game at the Sinquefield Cup, Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann will meet at Chess.com's Speed Chess Championship. They will play in front of an audience in Paris, France.  Joining me to discuss the history of this feud, and the details of this match is popular commentator, YouTuber and Twitch streamer GM Ben Finegold. Does Hans have a chance given his impressive play lately? Since Magnus has been refusing to play Niemann, is there a chance that Magnus won't show up to the match? What openings might we expect?  We dive into these questions and many more in our conversation.  All the information you need about the match is here: https://www.chess.com/events/info/2024-speed-chess-championship Thanks to our sponsors Chessable.com!

On this ID the Future, mathematician William Dembski and host Eric Anderson explore whether design detection tools shed any light on the recent chess scandal involving world chess champion Magnus Carlsen and American grandmaster Hans Moke Niemann. Did Niemann cheat in a match where he beat Carlson, as some have claimed? There is no smoking gun in the case, so how might one determine if cheating occurred? At first glance the problem might seem far removed from the design detecting rules and tools Dembski laid out in his Cambridge University Press monograph The Design Inference. But actually there is some intriguing overlap. Is there a way to dig into the chess data and determine whether Niemann secretly used a computer chess engine to Read More › Source

Efter ett parti i Sinquefield Cup i Saint Louis, USA den 4 september, inleddes det som nu kallas för den kanske största fuskskandalen i schackvärldens historia. Huvudpersonerna är världens bästa schackspelare Magnus Carlsen från Norge och Hans Niemann, en blott 19-årig amerikan. som nu anklagas för ett minst sagt spektakulärt fuskande. Frågorna är många. Kan Niemann ha vunnit med hjälp av analkulor? Hur lätt är det att bevisa fusk i schack? Och hur kommer skandalen att påverka schackvärlden? Det pratar vi om i Aftonbladet Daily. Programledare: Olivia Svenson. Gäst: Ingemar Falk från Sveriges schackförbund, som också är medarbetare på Aftonbladet. Kontakt: podcast@aftonbladet.se

For the September edition of One Move at a Time, US Chess Senior Director of Strategic Communication Dan Lucas sits down with GM Alejandro Ramirez to discuss his chess history as the first grandmaster from Central America, being a commentator for the Sinquefield Cup, and the new World Chess Hall of Fame exhibit about the 1972 World Championship. 

In the event of 2 players tying, 2 rapid games are played to determine the winner. Game 1 was a draw, and game 2 decided the victor, which is this game. An early blunder before a clean conversion leading to resignation suitably describes this game. Good luck and enjoy.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/four-knights/donations

The chess world has been rocked this week by the sudden withdrawal of GM Magnus Carlsen in the early rounds of the Sinquefield Cup. Although only explained by a cryptic tweet, this unprecedented action has been widely interpreted as an allegation of foul play by GM Hans Niemann, who had defeated Magnus in the prior round.. This has been a complex story with tentacles reaching all over the chess world and making headlines beyond it. In this podcast I briefly attempt to catch listeners up on the key events, and then welcome IM Greg Shahade to try to provide a bit of clarity about what we know right now. Greg is the founder of the Pro Chess League and the US Chess School and in the latter role has observed Hans' chess talent as he has risen up the ranks. Greg shares his perspective of Hans' personality, and of the overall story.

Igen i år var stjernerne af dansk comedy samlet til Zulu Comedy Galla. En aften spækket med højt humør, sjove mennesker og masser af gode vittigheder - eller hvad? En anmelder mener, at dansk humor har mistet modet, når man i 2022 stadig ikke kan komme uden om pik, patter og prutter. Har hun ret? Vi får besøg af en humorekspert og tager pulsen på dansk standup. Verdens bedste skakspiller, Magnus Carlsen, skabte røre, da han efter et nederlag til 19-årige Hans Niemann trak sig fra turneringen Sinquefield Cup. Nu spekuleres det i, om hans modstander snød. Carlsen har nemlig også vakt opsigt med et tweet, der måske antyder det. Men kan man overhovedet snyde i skak? Og hvordan gør man i så fald? Det taler vi med landstræneren for det danske skaklandshold om. Vi skal også omkring en Dronning Elizabeths død, nedskæringer i DR og meget mere. Værter: Adam Holm, Gitte Løkkegaard og Nanna Mogensen.

Dre and Brian discuss: Kevin Durant "staying put" in Brooklyn The Donovan Mitchell trade to Cleveland Some, definitely behind the news cycle by the time this is released, chess talk on Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann at the Sinquefield Cup.

Idag tittar vi närmare på det stora drama som pågår i schackvärlden, och så undrar vi vad Gud egentligen har med svenska elavtal att göra. Världsmästaren Magnus Carlsen har lämnat turneringen Sinquefield Cup cup i USA efter att han förlorat mot 19-årige Hans Niemann. Carlsen antyder på twitter att motståndaren har fuskat, något som förnekas av Niemann. Vad handlar det här om och är det överhuvudtaget möjligt att fuska i schackturneringar på den här nivån? Med oss har vi schack-kommentatorn August Lindmark.Nyligen pratade Thomas och Louise om ny forskning som visar att det kan vara meningsfullt att hitta tid för återhämtning under arbetsdagen. Vi var då tveksamma till att genomföra avslappningsövningar tillsammans med våra kollegor. Idag får besök av forskaren bakom studien vi pratade om, Lina Ejlertsson, doktor i folkhälsovetenskap vid Lunds universitet. Vilka råd har hon till personer som inte vill återhämta sig i grupp?Och så fördjupar vi oss i begreppet force majeure, alltså oförutsedda händelser som kan göra det ok att bryta ett ingånget avtal. Hur resonerade man när man tänkte sig att det ska handla om oförutsedda händelser orsakade av Gud? Och vad betyder det för oss idag? Med oss har vi advokaten och doktorn i handelsrätt Jon Kihlman.

Today's guest on Cover Stories with Chess Life is the author of our September cover story on the Prague Chess Festival and, as of the September 2021 FIDE rating list, the 26th ranked player in the world. The winner of the 2018 U.S. Championship and a stalwart on American international teams, Grandmaster Sam Shankland has already, at age 29, done almost everything there is to do in chess. He has written books for Quality Chess and the Chessable platform. He has been a second for Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen. He even appeared on a reality TV show, “Kicking and Screaming,” where he and partner Caleb Garmany survived the initial cuts but were eliminated on the second episode. Shankland's Prague performance is chronicled in our September issue, but his magical World Cup run, where he fell to GM Sergey Karjakin in the quarterfinals after defeating Jobava, Areschenko, Jumabaeyev and Svidler, is a must-read part of our October issue. He also just participated in the Saint Louis Rapid and Blitz, and the Sinquefield Cup, and I'm sure he'll have more to say about both of those events today.

Uzun zaman sonra geri donen Zugzwang'da Özgün Akkol ve Işık Öztürkeri geride bıraktığımız Sinquefield Kupası ve Dünya Kupası'nı konustu. Bol bol sürpriz bir isim, Teimur Radjabov övdü.

V. Saravanan is an International Master, a chess journalist and a voracious reader of chess books. Saravanan resides in Chennai, India, but joined me from St. Louis where he had just concluded covering the Sinquefield Cup for Chessbase. We discussed:  IM Saravanan’s impression of the St. Louis Chess Club, and of the tournaments  he had just covered.  Stories and impressions of Super GM Viswanathan Anand who he has known for decades. What makes Anand a special talent and person? Saravanan also shares broader perspective about the Indian chess boom.  Saravanan expounded on the incredible YouTube video he did, showing off his chess library to IM Sagar Shah. He rattled off a few more favorite chess books and shared his views regarding chess improvement.  Thanks to Saravanan for an entertaining and informative conversation.

This week IM Eric Rosen joined me to give a report from the 2017 Sinquefield Cup, where he has been doing some reporting. I also asked him to recap his epic Summer Chess Europe trip.  We also talked about Eric's favorite podcasts,  some ways to improve your chess game, and the secrets of the robust scholastic chess scene in the state of Illinois (which I kept calling Chicago for some reason. :-) ) . Thanks to Eric for a great conversation, follow him on twitter here, check out his website and blog here. 

The founder of the St. Louis Chess Club, Rex Sinquefield is my guest this week.
