All good spirits after the tournament. Delighted to have won my sixth @tatasteelchess!
How I feel about these dull draws with white
Played some indoor football today, trying to get in shape for my upcoming tournaments. @tatasteelchess starting on saturday, can’t wait to get going!
Rest day in Wijk aan Zee yesterday. Two Norwegian World Champions in Norway Gnomes taking on the Gorky Stormbringers. The wind has settled.
Last minute prep in Groningen yesterday…. and then I ended up playing the London system anyway.
Nice view from my hotel terrace in Wijk aan Zee. The @tatasteelchess Tournament starts today at 1:30 pm local time. I play white against world no 2 @fabianocaruana
Thanks for all the support during the world rapid and blitz championship, and a special mention to my neighbours across the street, this one really made my day!
The highest goals are often the most difficult to attain, but also the most satisfying.
Arrived in Wijk aan Zee today for my 14th @tatasteelchess tournament! Here I am being interviewed for the Norwegian channel TV2, which will cover the tournament live. This is the strongest Tata Steel Masters field in many years.
Always thinking about the road ahead.
A slight detour on the way to Holland. Great game so far!
Nyter litt klassisk norsk underholdning etter partiet i dag
