Christmas Caption Competition

Ellie and Magnus

So the question was, what do you think Ellie and Magnus are discussing at the recent London Chess Classic?
Clearly it is very serious, but is it the latest innovation in the Sveshnikov Sicilian, the likely winner of Strictly 2019, or something completely different?

Ellie and the Super GMs

As well as competing in the LCC tournaments, Ellie found some time to rub shoulders with the stars of the show. We look forward to an improvement in her local league results after this!

Justin in the ProBiz Cup

Not to be outdone, Justin (with a small amount of assistance from Lev Aronian) forced a draw by stalemate against Magnus and his teammate. See the entire game here.
