David Howell scored 10/11 in the 632-player masters online event, while Nigel Short had a lucky break on his return
David Howell scored a rare English victory in high-class international competition this week when the three-times
British champion won chess.com’s weekly Titled Tuesday. The Sussex 31-year-old had just returned from Warsaw, where he performed well in the World Rapid with 8/13, but faded in the World Blitz with 10/21.
Titled Tuesday is free to enter for all Fide titled players, right down to 2200-rated Candidate Masters, and regularly attracts hundreds of entries, who play an 11-round Swiss with a three-minutes-per-game time limit plus a one-second increment.
