British Chess Magazine October 2021 Retour à l'édition précédente

The October issue of BCM brings you the best analysis of top events – Meltwater, Norway Chess, Sharjah as well as a report from the Manx Liberty Masters. As we’re nearing the Match for the World Title in November, Peter O’Brien writes about Ian Nepomniachtchi’s path from Ekaterinburg to Dubai and how the pandemic affected the time control in chess. Read our interview with painter Peter Herel Raabenstein about the connection between art and chess, which he explores in his recent book. In the article ‘Underrated/Overrated’, Grandmaster Ray Keene writes about ‘unjustly lauded and the most unfairly denigrated of the recognised masters of our game’. Pete Tamburro gives you advice on how to play openings in an uncomplicated fashion, as Capablanca did, and Chris Jones and Ian Watson have provided a series of mind-blowing problems and endgame studies. All the chess you need – you can find it in BCM!
