PRO Chess League Top 10: #9-10
The PRO Chess League is kicking off on Tuesday and so I'm going to breakdown the top 10 highlights, games, players, and matches of the PRO Chess League over the next few days. Today I will be writing about #10 and #9.
Highlights
#10: GM Magnus Carlsen Mates His Opponent in a Rook & Knight Endgame
This Magnus classic of grinding down his opponent in an endgame is quite well shown by this clip.
#9: Incredibly rude
Sometimes top players have bad etiquette. Well, Robert Hess couldn't really get over that in this clip.
Games
#10: Nakamura vs. Wheeler
#9: Ladva vs. Gupta
Players
#10: Aleksandr Lenderman
Lenderman is a 'must include' in this list as he overperformed his rating by about 150 points.
#9: Alex Shimanov
Shimanov's legendary draw against Carlsen was one of the biggest moments in the league as the Windmill scored highly in Super Saturday in one of many great performances for him.
