Highlights world cup

After losing the first two rounds against the world top six including Levon Aronian and Alireza Firouzja, Liem finally got his first win. Duda, the 2021 FIDE World Cup champion, let Liem claim victory in two games and only managed a draw. In the first game, Liem played white and lost a pawn in mid game. But he was able to trap his opponent’s queen and gain the upper hand, then converted his advantage to a victory. Duda went all out in the second game when he put his knight on the line from the opening. But Liem used it to his advantage and won again after 53 moves. By the third game, Duda couldn’t create an advantage because of Liem's solid defensive style. This game ended up in a draw, with Liem winning 2-1 without needing the fourth game. This victory will be a motivational boost for Liem as he will play chess king Magnus Carlsen in the fourth round on Thursday night. Carlsen is one of only two players to win all games so far at the tournament, alongside Indian prodigy … [Read more...] about Vietnam chess ace takes down world champion

While flooding caused by heavy rainfall in the western Chinese province of Qinghai has killed 16 people, state media reported on Thursday, with an additional 36 missing. A severe heatwave across the basin of China's longest river, the Yangtze, caused by a larger than usual Western Pacific subtropical high, has now lasted more than two months, slashing hydropower supplies and drying out large expanses of arable land. In the sprawling southwestern region of Chongqing, where most of Yangtze's Three Gorges reservoir is located, the grid is now scrambling to secure electricity from other parts of the country as supplies to industrial consumers are rationed, state media reported. China's State Grid also promised to do its utmost to dispatch power to neighbouring Sichuan province, which normally supplies large amounts of surplus hydroelectricity to the eastern coast but is now imposing strict consumption controls. Normal water flows in the region could still be months away, with … [Read more...] about China’s drought could last until Sept as it races to protect harvests
