Navara on the Candidates & reluctantly playing in Spain
Czech no. 1 David Navara played in the Spanish League in
Linares last month despite trying to pull out over coronavirus concerns. He
felt compelled to play since his team were unable to find a late replacement, with the
experience helping him to understand the dilemma with the once again postponed Candidates
Tournament. David confesses he suspects that, “if I was in charge of the process
I would have made the same mistakes”.
