Arkell's Endings from Ginger GM

TWIC Magazine

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Simon McNamara, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Goran Tomic, Mikhail Golubev, Rich Freeman, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Wesley So defeated Hikaru Nakamura in the final of the final FIDE Grand Prix but the two Candidates places had long been decided in favour of Nakamura and Richard Rapport. The European Individual Championship continues with the final rounds in the next few days. Ding Liren scored 10.5/12 in a tournament entirely arranged to produce enough games with the right results to qualify him for the Candidates if Sergey Karjakin is suspended for the event. Whilst Ding does belong in the Candidates and seems to have been one of the worst affected players by the Covid-19 crisis this whole event was really not a proper tournament at all.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

21) Chess.com Rapid Chess Championship 2022

The Chess.com Rapid Chess Championship takes place 12th February to 28th August 2022. There will be weekly 10 minute tournaments with a Swiss on Saturday and a KO for the top 8 on Sunday. With a large prize fund and only a very select few strong players eligible to play it will be of constant interest. In week eight Parham Maghsoodloo beat Jeffery Xiong in the final. The KO phase was the shortest it could possibly be without defaults, all 7 games were decisive.
