Black (Karpov) to move and mate (Korchnoi) in 3.
These two really hated each other. Their rivalry is legendary.

Yesterday in one of the opening matches of the Chess.com Speed Chess Championship, my guy Wesley So defeated Levon Aronian handily. Still in the Round of 16. Big names are playing: Magnus, Ding, Hikaru, Fabi, Gukesh, MVL, etc. Format, three segments: 90 minutes of 5+1, 60 minutes of 3+1, and 30 minutes of 1+1. A total of $150K prize money.
I was happy to see that more of you are doing the puzzles and that some of you went to visit Chess House.
