That case brings chess into the operating theatre in an unexpected way. But a team of surgeons at the University of Sรฃo Paulo in Brazil ๐Ÿซ has another idea: could playing chess help them make better decisions at work?

Think about what goes through your mind before a difficult move. What am I missing? What could go wrong? Is there a better option? These surgeons ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ see similarities between those questions and the thinking they need during an operation.

Nobody has proved that chess makes someone a better surgeon yet. But what do you think?

It's a chess set. It's just really, really big.

Spring hits and suddenly everyone plays chess, including the people who say they don't play chess. Kids move the pieces with two hands. Somebody's uncle gets competitive. The game takes twice as long because you have to walk to your own pieces.

The Ultimate Giant Chess Bundle is the set, the mat and the storage bags sorted in one go. Pack it down at the end of the day and it lives in the shed until next weekend.

Five teams are chasing on 12 points: the Netherlands, India, Germany, Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The Women's section is wide open after China and Kazakhstan drew 2โ€“2. India's B. Savitha Shri is the only player to win all seven of her games.

At the 46th Chess Olympiad in Samarkand, Australia faced one of the tournament heavyweights in Round 3 and nearly pulled off a massive shock.

It all came down to one board. GM Bobby Cheng, the only Australian ever to win a world over-the-board title, held Dutch star GM Anish Giri deep into a long endgame. Giri kept squeezing, found the win, and the Netherlands escaped with a narrow 2.5โ€“1.5 victory.

One game. That was the difference. Their only loss since came against defending champions India.

Tonight, the Olympiad hits its biggest moment yet. ๐‘๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ” ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐š๐ญ ๐Ÿ–:๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐€๐„๐’๐“, featuring a massive clash between hosts Uzbekistan and champions India.

At this level, matches are decided in the endgame, on tournament-size Staunton sets with weighted pieces that don't slide when the clock is ticking. The same sets in our tournament range.

What's the set you'd want in front of you with everything on the line?

A quick game of chess with that friend who suddenly has everything to do except play chess. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Keep a quick game quick. Get a chess clock! โ†’ https://www.chessworld.com.au/clocks/

โ€œJust give me a minute.โ€

In the 1850s, your opponent could say that and still be thinking hours later. Chess had no time limit. Your dinner plans were your problem.

Tournament organisers needed games to finish, so they needed a way to limit each playerโ€™s thinking time.

Thomas Bright Wilson later invented the first mechanical chess clock, and organizers introduced it at the London tournament of 1883.

Now, the clock tells you to hurry up so your opponent doesnโ€™t have to. ๐Ÿ˜†โ™Ÿ

See why the clock is part of the game: https://www.chessworld.com.au/blog/what-is-a-chess-clock-and-why-does-chess-need-one/
