I am very proud to be working on a big project like ChessMonitor. The intent and purpose is to provide actual value to actual chess players.
The only website (and app!) you will ever need for prep.
We are just getting started.

There should be commentary on the commentary.
Imagine: "oh no, look what they just said, it's brilliant."
"This commentator is very boring usually, but this event they are on fire and commentate very aggressively. What caused this psychological shift? Is it Sagar 2.0?"๐คฃ
What an amazing piece of commentary @TaniaSachdev and @thelittlehat - kept us on the edge of our seats! Easily one of the most exciting moments of the tournament by far.

Iโm soon flying to Hong Kong for the World Rapid and Blitz Team Championship, where Iโll be playing for Hexamind alongside some legends of our game.
This event is also memorable to me because it was there last year that I realized chess players need a mobile app like ChessMonitor. None of my teammates had a good app they could use to prepare during the breaks.
We still have a long way to go, but what weโve built so far is already a game changer.
Players can instantly look up their opponentsโ games (including games that finished just seconds ago!), use our database together with the latest Stockfish to prepare, and now even watch live games directly in the app, powered by Lichess.
Download the ChessMonitor app on Google Play and the App Store.

Wild fight between Arjun and Hans.๐ฟ๐
Lots of small mistakes surely, the first one came here. I guess the players missed the X-ray along the fifth rank.

Doing that with a handicap of playing only King's Indian, makes it even more impressive!๐

Otherwise, I don't say anything.

Fascinating analysis actually.
Really curious what solid positions that lend themselves to tactics means.
Can you give some examples, @GMHikaru?
No trolling, genuinely curious!

"Will a top player find the best move" is really a very odd, inside out way of looking at chess, but I guess there is no other way at this point.๐
