How I reached 2700 by GM David Howell from Ginger GM

TWIC Magazine

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Simon McNamara, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The FTX Crypto Cup is the last Major of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour with a place in the final later in the year. After the second day Carlsen is in danger of missing out on the final phase of one of these online events for the first time and even the leaders are still in danger if they have a poor last day. Carlsen has to face all three joint leaders on the final day, not an easy proposition for him. The other major news of the day is the announcement of a Candidates Tournament in 2022 - on schedule - even as the previous cycle was delayed by a year due to the Coronavirus. Also FIDE have announced that Teimour Rajdabov already has a place in this Candidates. Radjabov gave up his place saying that it was not sensible to play in the Candidates in 2020 and his point of view I think has been seen to be mostly vindicated. In a completely not ideal situation I think this was pretty much the only fair solution although there are bound to be those who think otherwise. Radjabov has thrived in online chess and looks every bit deserving of a place in the Candidates, You can read the full announcement here: https://www.fide.com/news/1097

Hope you enjoy this issue.

3) Gibraltar FIDE Women's Grand Prix 2021

The Gibraltar FIDE Women's Grand Prix takes place 22nd May to 2nd June 2021. This is the final Grand Prix in a much extended series due to the Coronavirus crisis. The previous events were: Skolkovo, September 10th – 23rd 2019; Monaco, December 2nd – 15th 2019 and Lausanne, March 1st – 14th 2020. Aleksandra Goryachkina has finished her participation in the series and is in first place in the over all standings in the series, in second is Humpy Koneru who should have played in Gibraltar but felt the risk of traveling to the event during the Coronavirus crisis was too much. The top two finishers will get places in the women's Candidates tournament.
