2nd Chess960 Hivechess Torunament

Hello everyone.
Tomorrow is time for the first Chess960 tournament in 2025. Plan was to have at least one tournament of Chess960 at the end of each month. However there was a bit miscalculation about last Saturday of the month as well as busy schedule so we will have two Chess960 tournaments in February.

So tomorrow at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) we will have another Chess960 Hivechess tournament. Mode is 2 + 1.

Freestyle Chess Grand Slam

Today is first day of Freestyle Chess Grand Slam in Weissenhaus. It will be held from 7th to 14th February.
We have 10 players including current world champion Gukesh Dommaraju. Strong field and I think it will be a lot of good and interesting chess.

All players
Javokhir Sindarov, Fabiano Caruana, Alireza Firouzja, Vincent Keymer, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Magnus Carlsen, Dommaraju Gukesh, Hikaru Nakamura, Vladimir Fedoseev and Levon Aronian.

Right now there is a third game.
It is postiion 903 and players are discusing the possibilites and ready to start the round at the moment.
First position was 906th and second was 55th position.
(Positions are drawn for each match and position that was played can not be repeated again that day).

It is quite nice to see these players discus the position before the games.

Ecency points

If you did not hear about Hive account@ecency and Ecency.com it gives you ecency points for posting, commenting and liking- basically being active on ecency.com
