Rilton Amateur side event on the 28th of December.

Hello, 

There's more chess happenings during Christmas, a famous event Rilton is played during the Christmas week, https://www.rilton.se/

Those who wants to play in the amateur league can play for free the 28/12 in Scandic Continental, Vasagatan 22, Stockholm, central Stockholm. See the invitation  

Thank you very much to all the participants at the I Ericsson - ICT Chess Tournament. I think we all -including the ones like me who lost most of the games- enjoyed a great evening of chess, music and networking.

Congratulations to Ulf Wallgren, who got the 1st prize with an outstanding performance (7.5 / 9 points). 

The Tidblad brothers (Olle and Anders) completed the podium with 7 points each.

Looking forward to a similar event in Spring 2025! 

If you have any feedback about the event, please share it in the comments. Thanks again!

En glimt från svarta hästen

Schacktävling mellan Ericsson och ICT branschen den 13/11 kl 19:00. 

Ding Liren (current World Champion) played Rb2 a couple of days ago against Magnus Carlsen, omitting the consequent mate in two.

It's rather uncommon to see such a mistake in an elite game, specially considering that Ding still had more than 30' in the clock...

Think about this next time you blunder in a game! Even World Champs do. :)

Can you spot the winning sequence for Carlsen?

If you can "host" one in your building (other than KI21), please let me know it. 

Thanks!
