play.chessclub.com/daily-puzzle/2… Only two players in history have won more than one World Blitz Championship title. One is Magnus Carlsen, the other is Alexander Grischuk (2006, 2012, 2015). Nicknamed “The Hand” by fans and commentators, Grischuk ranked #1 on ICC for several years under the handle depressnyak. Grischuk won this game against Magnus Carlsen at the World Blitz Championship in Berlin in 2015, securing the title. However, in this critical position, he overlooked a brilliant maneuver that would have sealed the victory on the spot. Can you find the move “The Hand” missed?

Ultimately it’s your vote, America, but one of your candidates is a racist convicted fraudster and proven sex offender who proved himself one of the most disastrous presidents in your history and attempted to overthrow your democracy when he lost an election. And the other isn’t.

Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).

@SamCoatesSky Sam, he had one stock response. Used it like three/four times in the first half of the interview alone. That is when I stopped.

If I had to guess which player will make the biggest difference in the last quarter, I’d say Ox. Just a gut feeling.
