The Daily Update: Blog Plans and Chess News: Updated!
I think I’ve figured out what to do about the blog and where it’ll be moved to, and hopefully it will at least start to be ready by early next week. Thanks to those of you who offered various suggestions.
In chess news, the Unive tournament again saw two draws (one fairly short, one fairly long), and so with a round to play Tiviakov continues to lead thanks to his one win, the only win of the tournament.
The European Team Championship had more high level games today (notably Adams-Radjabov, won by the latter after an Adams blunder), and the number of elite battles should rise dramatically in the next few rounds.
The World Junior Championship is also underway, and while a few GMs were nicked for draws, none lost in the first round. As for the American entrants, Robson won his first game while Lenderman started with a draw.
UPDATE: The World Junior Championship is up to round 4 (tomorrow). After 3 rounds four players are still perfect: GMs Olszewski, Rodshtein, Li Chao and the untitled (but 2509-rated) Yu Yangyi. Eight players have 2.5 points, including rating favorite Vachier-Lagrave, 2600s Andreikin, Zhigalko and Howell, and American GM-elect Robson (who will have White against V-L this next round). A few GMs have 2 points (none have less than 2), and the other American representative, GM-elect Lenderman, is in that score group as well.
