British Chess Magazine July 2021 Retour à l'édition précédente

The July issue of BCM brings you a detailed analysis of the best games from several recent top chess
tournaments – from the Prague Masters where American Sam Shankland showed the world why he
deserves a spot among the top players, to the Superbet classic in Romania where Shakhriyar
Mamedyarov became the first Azeri player ever to win a GCT event. We also visit the Women’s
[disrupted] Grand Prix which took place in Gibraltar and analyse who are the female players to keep
an eye out for in the future. In this issue of BCM, you can also read about Abhimanyu Mishra who set
a record for the youngest ever GM, as well as about the controversy around this raised by the
contender for the title of World Champion, Ian Nepomniachtchi. For those looking to relax, an
American professor wrote a short story about an issue that all who have played chess online have
faced at least once – power outrage in the middle of the game! If you want to improve your play,
