Default One of the most amazing feats in chess history just happened, and no one noticed.

I know we have a lot of chess guys here. Last time I heard about chess, Kasparov was still the reigning world champ of about 80 years or so. It looks like there are some young new champions in the making.

Before any of the six entrants in the 2014 Sinquefield Cup had nudged a white pawn to e4, they’d already been hailed as the strongest collection of chess talent ever assembled. The tournament, held in St. Louis, featured the top three players in the game. The weakest competitor in the field was the ninth best chess player on the planet.
