Chess is safer than pétanque, because it’s not exactly easy to kill someone for real with a chess piece.

Chola Chess is back with its International Round Robin events! After the successful completion of the 1st Chola Chess Grandmaster Norm Round Robin tournament in February. This time, Chola Chess is organising IM and GM round robin events under the same roof. Talented youngsters and experienced veterans will face each other from 20th June to 28th June. On the 19th June, the lots were drawn, and the technical meeting happened at the venue. @CholaChess @chessgurukul chessbase.in/news/chola-che…

Round 6 of the FIDE World Youth Chess Championships 2026 is now underway, and by the end of today's games the tournament will have crossed the halfway mark. With five rounds already completed and six still to go, every game is becoming increasingly important as players battle for position in the race for the world titles. Today's results will determine who heads into the upcoming rest day with momentum, confidence, and perhaps even the lead. The rest day offers a valuable opportunity to recover, prepare, and recharge before the decisive second half of the championship begins. Here are some moments from the start of Round 6. 📸 @nikchess / ChessBase India @FIDE_chess @GM_Mogranzini #chess #italy ♟️ FIDE World Youth Chess Championships 2026 📍 Pala Dean Martin Congress Center, Montesilvano, Italy

"A significant milestone was reached in 2001, when the first Women's African Individual Chess Championship was held alongside the open section, proudly crowning Algeria’s Asma Houli as the first women's champion. This integration underscored the ACC's commitment to gender equality and the development of women's chess at the highest level." @AfricanChessCon

"If you think chess lacks action, you aren’t looking closely enough at the faces". The energy in Hong Kong during the World Rapid Team Championship was unmatched. High stakes, time pressure, and raw emotion captured in every single round. Which emotion sums up your last chess game? Photos: Michal Walusza/FIDE
