How I reached 2700 by GM David Howell from Ginger GM

TWIC Magazine

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Xuhao He, Shaul Weinstein, Arnar Ingi Njarfarson, Roland Wimmer and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Ian Nepomniachtchi will challenge Magnus Carlsen for his World Chess Champion title in Dubai in November. He won the Candidates tournament with a round to spare. Nepomniachtchi has impressed throughout the event although he did enjoy one piece of luck, he was actually quite sick when the event was halted for over a year. In play over the board Nepomniachtchi's win against Anish Giri in the first round assumed huge importance as Giri became his main rival. Also key to his success was his 3/3 score against the Chinese players, he meets Ding Liren in the final round tomorrow. Nepomniachtchi has long been known to be one of the most talented players but also one of the most inconsistent but this problem was absent here. Nepomniachtchi will present Carlsen with new problems, in recent matches Carlsen has been a very strong favourite if the match went to rapid and blitz tie-breaks, this won't be the case this time. The match will also be over 14 rather than 12 classical games with less rest days to accommodate this. I doubt anything I said had any influence, but I did make this precise suggestion after the last world championship and the increase to 14 classical games is a small but significant improvement in the format. The New in Chess Classic is also under way. This online Champions Chess Tour event is as usual jolly strong with Carlsen heading the field.

Hope you enjoy this issue.
