2025 is going to get a tragic year for the #chess world. After Robert Hübner and Boris Spassky another legend passed away: Friðrik Ólafsson at age 90. He was the first grandmaster in #Iceland, a world class player at his peak and FIDE president. There is an extensive documentation of his career by the Skáksögufélagið (#Icelandic Chess Heritage Society). #chesshistory #RIP (📷 Wijk aan Zee 1969)

Robert Hübner, the idol of my youth, has passed away today. I admired not only his success as a world-class player but also his contributions to #chesshistory which helped the discipline to rise to an academic level. #RIP #Schachgeschichte #chess #Schach

Nach langer schwerer Krankheit verstarb am 5. Januar 2025 Robert Hübner. Über Jahrzehnte war Robert Hübner nach dem Krieg der beste deutsche Schachspieler mit unzähligen Erfolgen in Einzel-und Mannschaftswettbewerben.André Schulz (ChessBase)
There has been some work done on Anatoly Karpov's #website. Most surprising: the English pages were removed. The language switch (Russian/English) disappeared between July 24th and July 26th 2024. The English deep links were removed, and return 404 now. #chess
