Monthly online meetings are scheduled, and they increase connexions between members in a new way of communication. On the agenda: status and discussions on activities of the commission, brainstorming on projects and current issues, plans for the future, review of disciplinary cases, etc. This method of work has proven to be highly successful. Until now, we organized three Monthly Online Meetings: 1st Meeting - February 18th, 2020 2nd Meeting - April 11th, 2020 3rd Meeting - May 23rd, 2020 The 4th Monthly Online Meeting will be held on Saturday, June 13th, 2020.

  • Magnus Carlsen
    Magnus Carlsen From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the Norwegian chess player. For people with a similar name, see Magnus Carlsson (disambiguation). Magnus Carlsen Magnus Carlsen, 2008 Full name Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen Country Norway 30 November 1990 (age 19) Born Tønsberg, Norway Title Grandmaster 2826 FIDE rating (No. 1 in the September 2010 FIDE World Rankings) Peak rating 2826 (July 2010) Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen (born 30 November 1990) is a Norwegian chess Grandmaster and chess prodigy currently ranked number one in the world on the official FIDE rating list. He has achieved the second highest ever rating exceeded only by Garry Kasparov.[1][2] On 26 April 2004 Carlsen became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 years, 148 days, making him the third-youngest Grandmaster in history. On 1 January 2010 the new FIDE rating list was published, and at the age of 19 years, 32 days he became the youngest chess player in history to be ranked world number one, breaking the record previously held by Vladimir Kramnik.[3] Carlsen is also the 2009 World blitz chess champion. His performance at the September–October 2009 Nanjing Pearl Spring tournament has been described as one of the greatest in history[4] and lifted him to an Elo rating of 2801, making him the fifth player to achieve a rating over 2800 – and aged 18 years 10 months at the time, by far the youngest to do so. Based on his rating, Carlsen has qualified for the Candidates Tournament which will determine the challenger to face World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the World Chess Championship 2012.
