Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.At 14-and-a-half Peter Leko was the youngest grandmaster ever (a record since reduced to 14 years and one month by Etienne Bacrot). At 19, Leko is now competing against the world's top players in Tilburg. The following game is a good example of his energetic style. For the first 15 moves, White goes straight for his opponent's throat, but after that, Black advances unstoppably.
