How I reached 2700 by GM David Howell from Ginger GM

TWIC Magazine

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Sergii Larkin, Robert Baskin, Simon McNamara, Bahadır Ozen, Gerard Demuydt and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The Chinese Championship was won by Yu Yangyi, only about 6 months after he won the postponed 2020 event. Anish Giri showed his online chops with a convincing win in the MrDodgy Invitational 2.0 - he also won the first edition, the event may have started as a bit of a joke but it's a strong blitz event with the 5 minute time control with no increment being a less usual feature. The Champions Tour resumes next weekend with the FTX Crypto Cup. The field is tremendously strong for the final major of the tour with the winner getting a guaranteed place in the finals. Players: Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Ding Liren, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Levon Aronian, Anish Giri, Alexander Grischuk, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Wesley So, Teimour Radjabov, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Alireza Firouzja, Hikaru Nakamura, Peter Svidler, Daniil Dubov, and Alan Pichot. On a minor statistical note the FIDE rating list has over 1 million names in it for the first time - it broke the million mark with an update to the May list on May 15th.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Chinese Championships 2021

The Chinese Championships took place 7th to 15th May 2021. Yu Yangyi edged out Wei Yi and Li Di on tie-break to win his second title in a row in spite of losing to women's world champion Ju Wenjun in the final round. All three players scored 7/11. Yu Yangyi retained the title he won in December. In the women's event top seed Tan Zhongyi won with 8.5/11 half a point clear of Ning Kaiyu.
