26 h. ago Chess: Carlsen fights off Gukesh in Zagreb as ChessFest returns to Trafalgar Square

The Norwegian, 35, lost his second game in a row to the 19-year-old Indian but won a third in “old man’s chess” style, while 20,000 fans are expected in London on SundayIt looked as if the Carlsen era might finally be over. The Norwegian, 35, had just lost his second game in a row to India’s world champion, Gukesh Dommaraju, 19, who was on a streak of five successive wins and leading the Zagreb event three points ahead of Carlsen. The game was like their first in Stavanger, where Carlsen had spoiled a winning position and images of his frustrated table thump went round the world. “Now we can question Carlsen’s domination,” said Garry Kasparov.Except this time the sequel was different. The format changed from rapid to blitz and Carlsen launched his own eight-game unbeaten streak including a win against the Indian teenager using “old man’s chess” with no tactics, while Gukesh tailspun into a catastrophic run of 1.5/9.

1 week ago I was getting lonely. Here’s what happened when I tried to make new friends in my 30s

From streaming services to food-delivery apps, the modern world conspires to keep us home and alone. But I went out looking for a human connectionI am lucky enough to have some wonderful friends. But recently many of them have moved away because they can’t afford, or simply can’t be bothered, to live in a huge city like London any more. And when you’re in your 30s, meaningfully connecting with new people is no mean feat.I’m not alone in feeling a little lonely: in 2023, the World Health Organization said that social isolation was becoming a “global public health concern”. From the decline of the office to the rise of single-occupancy flats, our social lives are being leached away from us.
