We've decided not to renew our hosting so The Chess Pit will, for a while at least, cease to be on your chosen podcast provider. Phil has all the episodes, though, so we'll let you know where we decide to put them soon. Thanks for everything for now! x

Kramnik achieved a positional advantage, but Antipov defended and ultimately won the armageddon! The former world champion left the game with 27 seconds left. chess.com/events/2024-champi… #ChessChamps

How on earth do you play if you’re Fabi or Nepo this evening? Both need a win and even that might not be enough.

Outright second place (and, almost incidentally, an IM norm) for 2175-rated Steven Jones at the British Championship! Hope for amateurs everywhere.

In the week that seemingly every professional footballer going has shown solidarity with Benjamin M*ndy, it’s sad but not entirely surprising that top chess players still fail as allies.
