  • John Brezina's St. Louis Report

    "...where theory is no longer relevant."

    Once again John Brezina brings us an excellent report from St. Louis. This time reporting and photographing the "2023 Champions Showdown Chess 9LX". A Fischer Random tournament with an all star Grand Master cast. Why "Chess 9LX" is beyond me, but with all Rex Sinquefield is doing for American chess he can title his awesome St. Louis chess tournaments in any way he...

  • DCC 2023 Denver Open

    "We're going to need a bigger boat."

    To tell the truth, I didn't expect the 2023 DCC Denver Open entries to exceed the fantastic 188 player registration we had for the 2022 Denver Open, where we had special guest GM Jesse Kraai as an extra added attraction. Well, sometimes it's good to be wrong.  This year we had an extraordinary player registration of 194 players!! With 49% of the players from outside the... Read more >>

    "...to take the lead and would never look back."

    Once again John Brezina brings us an excellent report from St. Louis, the chess capital of the United States. This time reporting, and of course photographing the elite players invited to the Jeanne Sinquefield inspired Cairns Cup. As always, I am pleased to select and caption Mr. Brezina's great photography. The heading photo is Bella Khotenshvili apparently spotting a... Read more >>
