Angelika Valkova is known as the "Lady of 1.d4". Her White-side repertoire earned a near-perfect 4.82-star rating on Chessable.
Now she flips the board to reveal her playbook for the Black pieces with lines vetted and refined by her coach, GM Gyula Pap.

Round 6 recap posted. It's kind of the same as the previous rounds, except that @GMJSindarov beat someone else. This is just getting silly.
This time @chessborn helps me cover the action!

I want to thank everyone for all the support we’re receiving. There really is an incredible amount of it.
For me, the sacrifice of the people depicted on the helmet means more than any medal ever could - because they gave the most precious thing they had.
And simple respect toward them is exactly what I want to give.

Ukrainian children learn chess in bomb shelters. They train without electricity while missiles target their cities. 21 Ukrainian chess players have been killed defending their country.
Russia's reward for this? FIDE just voted to welcome Russian teams back.
The vote was held in secret—"so federations who voted for it would not be called out," says Ukrainian player Angelika Valkova.
FIDE's motto is "Gens una sumus"—"We are one family." Valkova's response: "If we have in the family a member who is killing another—how can we be one family? He should be isolated. He should be punished."
Five federations have filed an appeal. The fight continues.
