Мой отец, хотя он и является сильным любителем, никогда не требовал от меня результатов. Папа предоставил мне время и возможности для того, чтобы сформировать собственные мотивацию, интерес и страсть к шахматам. Тем не менее, я отчетливо помню, как мне впервые удалось победить его в полноценной партии. Мне тогда было 9 лет. Как насчет тебя? Сумеешь ли ты обыграть моего отца?

2019-12-01
Can you beat a 29-year old Magnus Carlsen?
This update brings you an older and wiser Magnus Carlsen to play against.
Do you really have what it takes to beat the toughest Magnus so far?
If you do (without an engine), please let us know.
Here's what the world champ has to say about his last 12 months:
What I'm most proud of this year is achieving an unbeaten streak in classical chess of over a hundred games. I managed a string of eight consecutive tournament victories, including some of my favorite events: Tata Steel in Wijk aan Zee and NorwayChess in Stavanger. As a result, I tied my top-ever rating at 2882 – proving I'm the guy to beat. Having won so much, I generously gave the Fischer Random Chess Championship victory to Wesley So.
