Game: Michał Krasenkow - Alexander Donchenko (1-0)

 


In the Polish Extraliga match between Stilon Gorzów and Silesia Racibórz, Michał Krasenkow faced off against Aleksander Donchenko. Despite a significant age difference, with Krasenkow being nearly 35 years younger, he executed a brilliant attack, exploiting a weakness in the black king's position, and secured the victory.

Norway Chess 2023 - after round 3

Image
  Norway Chess is a 10-player round-robin featuring Top 5 stars Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja and Hikaru Nakamura taking place in Stavanger, Norway from 30 May to 9 June.  Each of the 9 rounds consists of a classical game where a win is worth 3 points and a loss 0. If the players draw they play an Armageddon game, where the winner earns 1.5 points and the loser 1 point.  No draw offers are allowed before move 30. The classical time control is 2 hours for all moves, with a 10-second increment per move only after move 40.  For Armageddon White (the same player who had White in the classical game) has 10 minutes to Black's 7, with a 1-second increment from move 41. Black wins if the game ends in a draw. A tie for 1st place will be decided by two 3+2 blitz games followed, if necessary, by a 5 vs. 4-minute Armageddon game. Official website
