GM Laurent Fressinet, who defeated his boss Carlsen in the Play-In a few weeks ago, this time sent legendary GM Vladimir Kramnik to the Losers Bracket.
Eight players move on to the Winners Quarterfinals. The young star GM Denis Lazavik, who made it all the way to the Losers Final in the last event, came back with a vengeance as he defeated experienced Iranian GM Parham Maghsoodloo 3-1. In Division II, eight players advance to the Winners Quarterfinals. Abdusattorov won on demand with Black in game four against GM Wesley So and then won the armageddon game with White after losing in game three to spin the match around. Aronian won game two against GM Vladimir Fedoseev and made three other draws for the match victory. Until then, I'm going to checkmate Orks until I know some fundamentals.GMs Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, and Levon Aronian move on to the Winners Bracket in Division I of the Champions Chess Tour Aimchess Rapid 2023 after winning their matches on the first day.Ĭarlsen and Caruana beat their opponents, GMs Jorden van Foreest and Eduardo Iturrizaga, respectively, with a game to spare. One day I'll make an account on and start facing real players. But it's Chess-adjacent enough to reset my brain and inspire me to get back into the proper theory again. It's so silly, and even though you win by checkmating your opponent's king (an Ork warboss or a Space Marine captain, depending on who you play as), it's not really Chess. Strong pieces have special abilities like "Only War", which can buff the defence of nearby pieces. Proper Chess moves serve as instakill attacks, so if you move your queen (a Space Marine librarian in this case) to take a piece diagonally, your librarian will walk up to an Ork and zap them into chunks immediately. I enjoy directing them to snap fire at the enemy line and open up holes in the enemy defense. Regicide has all the familiar pieces, but now all your pawns can shoot. Instead it's Regicide mode that has provided amusement between bouts of reading articles on efficient early game development. You can play classic Chess with Space Marines if you like, but you're more likely to find high level AI in dedicated chess games. The Ork is sad because he has been checkmated.
