A chess powerhouse
The Candidates Tournament will resume a bit over a week from today, with the two highest-rated Chinese players in the world ready to get back into the fray in Yekaterinburg. While Ding Liren (world #3) did not have a good first half, Wang Hao (world #12) is still well within range to catch up with the leaders.
Having two players from China in the eight-player field should not catch anyone by surprise, as the Asian country has greatly developed his chess stars in the last two decades or so although most likely the results began to show only after a period of deliberate attempts to rise the status of the sport in the country.

Meeting Don Miguel
I was very pleased to recently read an article by Andre Schulz entitled Remembering Miguel Najdorf , which appeared about two years ago on ChessBase. Perhaps I can contribute something to complete the picture of Najdorf.
When did we meet for the first time? At the Chess Olympiad Leipzig 1960! I, still a nobody, was playing as reserve for the CSSR.
Chess Olympiad 1960, a young Vlastimil Hort plays against Raymond Weinstein from the US.
He was playing first board for Argentina. His second wife, Dona Maria, who was extremely attractive, accompanied him. Both were very elegant, dressed in the latest fashion.
