He was a 'cracking little player' but unfortunately collapsed slowly after the Kramnik loss. Still a strong GM though but not amongst the very best anymore, sadly.

Rapport's playing so well at Wijk an Zee. Today he has beaten Caruana and he is in the leading group.

Rapport still has 2 more rounds to take the lead from Magnus. He's only a half point down.

Rapport finished on 3rd with worse TB than Mamedyarov, equal points with him and 1 down to Carlsen. Well done mate, Hungary has a world class player again after Lékó.

Yes. One of her sisters (or maybe both 2 of them) played under American flag, if I remember well.
