Liem Le@LiemChess·
After many rewarding years, my time at Webster University is coming to a close, as the university has decided to discontinue its chess program. I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished together. The Webster chess program established itself as one of the most successful collegiate chess programs in history, achieving sustained excellence at both the national and international levels. Over the past 14 years (2012–2026), our students captured 2 World Championships, 3 Olympiad gold medals, and more than 90 national titles. In collegiate competition, Webster remained the top-ranked program and qualified for the national championship every year. We won or tied for first place in 10 of 14 Pan American Intercollegiate Championships and secured 7 of 13 President’s Cups. I am deeply grateful to the visionary leaders who supported the program from the beginning, especially former Chancellor Dr. Elizabeth Stroble and former President Dr. Julian Schuster, as well as the dedicated staff, generous donors, and friends who helped build its success. I also want to sincerely thank the program’s founders and my predecessors, Susan Polgar and Paul Truong, for creating a legacy in collegiate chess that will be very difficult to match. Above all, I am most proud of our players. Their professionalism, outstanding work ethic, and commitment to excellence defined the program and made everything possible. More than 60 alumni — including many grandmasters from around the world — have graduated from Webster, and I am confident they will continue to thrive both on and off the chessboard. Although this chapter is ending, I am excited about the future and the new opportunities ahead to keep mentoring, competing, and contributing to the game I love. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this remarkable journey.

I also watched his previous work in preparation about a small-town murder in the Outback of Australia. Highly recommended. He's great at getting reluctant people to trust him and talk! imdb.com/title/tt260818…

Sindarov: "Whatever you want to do, you can do here. I really enjoyed... I played video games, I played padel, I do everything, I was chilling here... I want to play every tournament in the same conditions!"

In 2016 Mukhiddin Madaminov was unrated and idolized Javokhir Sindarov, who was 2400. Now they’re best friends, grandmasters, and preparing for a world championship.

Gukesh-Sindarov will be an epic clash. The youngest ever for the biggest Title in chess. Two amazing players. Two real fighters. Courageous. Energetic. Determined. Composed. Both rely heavily on their outstanding calculation ability. But there are significant differences of course. And the one who brings the betrer version of himself for the Match will prevail. In the coming week FIDE will be busy reviewing the options for the location. Dates are set at the end of November - first half of December. Question for the fans: Of course, India and/or Uzbekistan are two logical options. But if not there, where would you see it proper to be hosted?

He can easily beat me in chess and probably in Counterstrike, but we’re equals in a footrace. Congrats @GMJSindarov it has been a joy to report on your historic win! Photo: Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam
