this month in St. Louis. Fabiano Caruana scored 8.5 out of ten possible points in an elite chess tourney. The six man tourney with the lowest ranked player being number 9 in the world was won in amazing fashion.
Great article. Thanks for sharing.

@P@nther:
Who do I register with? Where can some games online to start building my rating?
Would be interested to know!

Here is another very good and free site:
https://lichess.org/
https://lichess.org/aboutApart from playing human vs. human or human vs. computer (‘Stockfish’ engine) you can even get an analysis of your games, there.
Agreed, lichess.org is very good. You can even copy-paste any game that you played elsewhere as long as you have it in PGN format and lichess will analyze it for you.

@Imperious:
OMG i didnt know we had Chess players! Great we should have regular Chess news
I’m not too surprised that A&A and chess might attract the same people. There’s a definite nerd factor to both games. I also wasn’t too surprised to find that that quite a few of my colleagues (I work in IT) have played chess, and that some like board games in general.
I haven’t played competitive chess for 25 years now, but back then, I was a strong player. -
Is there a central rating league or board that everyone recognizes that I should register with?
Or are there multiple leagues etc?

There is an official platform maintained by the FIDE

Yeah, like chess24.com. It has a wierd rating system. It goes up to like a 3900 rating. Weird huh?

Ok, I will take a look.

They’ve got an interview with Caruana on chess.com. Can you imagine a chance to be remembered with all the chess greats…Morphy, Lasker, Capablanca, Fischer, Kasparov ect…
-
Yes it’s really mind blowing.
-
It would be nice if we had a seperate chess strip. If we did we could play correspondence chess. Just my 2 cents. :-D
-
Correspondence chess is not what it used to be, with today’s software playing so much better than any human.
-
Yea its only for old farts who cant make a move in a normal game.

@P@nther:
Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana will meet before at this event, starting on Saturday:
http://www.grenkechessclassic.de/en/Caruana took the tournament!
-
Another Carlsen vs Caruana test in Norway. Carlsen won their individual game, but Caruana won the tournament.
At first I thought that Carlsen would be the clear favorite in their upcoming match, but by now I’m not so sure. It will be interesting!

well, looks as if this guy didn’t play by the rules
