This post is a bit of a behemoth, so I implore you to not read it in one sitting. I certainly didn't write it in just one. Anyway... ahem: In Winner's POV, we take a look at tournaments from the 19th century and see the games that allowed the to...
I've not had a very good time of it the past week-ish, so rather than continue my Winner's POV series, I thought I'd write about one more little thing that interests me within the context of chess history. It kinda keeps things in chronological or...
I was initially going to write a proper Winner's POV post about this event, but after starting my proper research into it, it turned out to be a little disappointing. However, I said I would talk about it in the previous installment, so we'll at l...
In my last blog post (see here), we took a look at the first major tournament that followed the World Championship match between Wilhelm Steinitz and Johannes Zukertort. While such a match is obviously of immense importance, it doesn't fall w...

The first high-level international chess tournament I ever followed was a previous Chess Olympiad. After that, I've made sure to closely follow each subsequent one, paying special attention to the team sent from my country, Canada. Today's post wi...

While I was doing the research for my recent blog posts on the great tournament of London 1883 (check out part 1 and part 2) I came across the following game that I find very interesting. Now, obviously the moves themselves aren't the most int...
