ChessBase

Um, and so I think, I think that's sort of the impetus there is that, you know, Chess24 was the best place to watch broadcasts before it, uh, got subsumed by Chess.com. And I think the desire there was, well, can we use AI to build ourselves, you know, the, the, the sort of Chess24 replacement we've always wanted, and it looks like the answer is yes.

Oh, 'cause I looked at the website, and to me, it looked more like a ChessBase, online ChessBase-

So this is-

... competitor than Chess24.

And, and we'll see how that turns out.

Yeah.

And John, I've relied on you in the past for your ChessBase expertise.

Are you still keeping up with ChessBase? Are you still someone who upgrades every year? Like, how is that product holding up in comparison to all these startups?

In the women's event, 11-year-old Bodana Sivanandan held Alexandra Goryachkina for 77 moves.

The field is a record 130 teams, ECU and Chessbase say.

Round two is Sunday at 8 a.m. Eastern.

Online, Hikaru Nakamura won Saturday's bullet brawl by 46 points.

Magnus Carlsen leads at 28.30. Hikaru Nakamura is second at 27.79. Nodirbek Abdusadaroff is third at 27.74.

The world champion, Gukesh, stands at 26.86. ChessBase India says that is 26th.

Rook Review reports that Yagiz Khan Erdomos loses 94 points against his classical rating.

Anish Giri loses 63, and Wesley So loses 30.

The list is not an official FIDE rating.

FIDE will observe it through the Budapest pilot in November.

ChessBase India says public feedback is open until November 6th.

One more roundup before the weekend.

[Intro-Musik] Willkommen bei Chessbase.

Ich bin Anna, eure KI-generierte Stimme für die spannendsten News und Highlights aus der Schachwelt.

Heute ist der 16.

And so now there might be another kind of generational, um, avalanche of, uh, of talent.

I mean, every week I feel like I see a new Chessbase India story of, like, this 10-year-old kid just got a 2600 performance, and it's like-

Mm-hmm

... oh man, they're coming.

That's interesting.

Yeah, [laughs] I had a feeling you were gonna say something like, "Yeah, I don't like nice weather." So, [laughs] so, uh, "I don't like Spain as much." Uh, and you write in your book, and you actually mentioned in an old, uh, Chessbase interview, your enthusiasm for cooking, and you say, you said in your Chessbase interview that you're one of the best, uh, one of the best cooks.

So do you have like a, a signature dish, a favorite dish that you make?

Uh, well, recently my son, uh, graduated, uh, nur- nursery, and I baked, uh, I baked a cake, a Guinness cake, and, uh, brought it to, uh, his, uh, uh, teachers.

Zhang gave up a knight on move 29.

Chessbase's German site says the position looked dead drawn.

In return, Zhang got three past queenside pawns.

Hans Nieman beat Abhimanyu Mishra.

So that's definitely something that I have in mind.

I can easily import positions also from my databases, right? From ChessBase or other places to Chessable, like a FEN, and I can just keep on talking.

A

FEN or a PGN.

Jeffrey Zong held the upper hand.

Chess.com and Chessbase agree.

Zong drifted as the time control approached, and Wesley So converted.

Wesley So told Chess.com, I was just trying to survive the entire game.
