Play online chess |  Subject: Ponziani Opening

Hope you are having a nice weekend!

Dissatisfied with his uninspiring performances of late, however, the former world chess champion seems to have ramped up his aggressiveness. Most recently, he finished first — ahead of several of the best chess players — in the world’s jewel of annual tournaments: the London Chess Classic in Britain. He did it professionally but conservatively by drawing with each of the top chess players — Viswanathan Anand, Levon Aronian, Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura — while piling up wins against ...
