Biel Chess Festival, interesting game: Frederik Svane - Chithambaram Aravindh

 

Today at the Biel Chess Festival, an interesting game was played between Frederik Svane and Chithambaram Aravindh.
White used the new move 13.b3. The German Grandmaster developed a very promising position but later made several mistakes. We'd like to draw your attention to an interesting endgame where white had a Bishop and a Rook for his Queen. Of course, we're posting the game on the website.

GM Marc`andria Maurizzi wins Djerba International Chess Festival 2025 (Masters)

Image
French Grandmaster (GM) Marc'Andria Maurizzi won the Djerba International Chess Festival 2025 (Masters). The winner scored 7.5 out of 9 points, a remarkable result. There was significant interest in the performance of 12-year-old Faustino Oro. The Argentine player lost his first five games and ultimately scored only 1.5 points (three draws), finishing in last place. This tournament was clearly too strong for Oro. Rk.
