In a podcast, relayed on chess.com, the Scandinavian crack evokes the hypothesis of not defending his world title in 2023, against the winner of the 2022 edition of the Candidates tournament, who designates the challenger of the world champion for the award of the world crown. “If anyone other than Firouzja wins the Candidates, it is unlikely that I will compete for the next World Championship title. “In this podcast, Magnus Carlsen then evokes his admiration for his young opponent from Chartres, crowned world number two in the fall, who surpasses him in terms of precocity, with his 2,800 Elo points: unheard of at this age. “I was very impressed with his performances at the Grand Suisse and at the European Team Championship. It motivates me more than anything else. “

The prodigy of Chartres, Alireza Firouzja, becomes world n ° 2 in chess at only 18 years old!
For the chartrain tenor of the chessboard, the stakes are enormous. Announced as the successor of Carlsen, scrutinized in each of his matches by the entire chess planet, he also seems to hold the keys to the motivation of his elder brother and, perhaps, to the holding of the meeting of the century, in 2023. , between the best of all time and the one who must (who will?) become.
The Prime Minister’s office announced Thursday, exclusively to L’Écho Républicain, that the government was going to “concretely initiate” the A154 project by launching the call for tenders for the concession of the motorway (see our Friday edition and on lechorepublicain.fr). However, the first works will not take place before 2025 or 2026 for commissioning envisaged in 2030.

Forced vacations
The children of the Saint-Pierre school in Dreux must have been delighted. Following the discovery of a few cases of Covid-19, the entire establishment was closed for a week. Since then, the schoolchildren, all in great shape, have resumed lessons, before going on Christmas holidays on Friday, like all the other children.

Auction
Journalist and host Stéphane Bern is preparing to move permanently into his residence at the Royal and Military College of Thiron-Gardais. His final installation in the Perche is coupled with another event.
premium Stéphane Bern has decided to leave Paris to live in Thiron-Gardais in the Perche
He undertook to resell the furniture and objects that make up the daily decor of his Parisian apartment at auction. It will therefore be possible to acquire this furniture, including exceptional objects, on January 25, during the sale organized by Maison Daguerre, at the Hotel Drouot. Among the 150 lots on offer, some items are estimated at € 20,000.
More expensive than expected
Franck Masselus, vice-president of Chartres Métropole responsible for finances and foresight, admitted it bluntly during the press conference on the original 2022 budget: “The enlargement of the Agglo has cost us more than our estimates. »Going from the original seven municipalities (Chartres, Lucé, Louillard, Mainvilliers, Lèves, Champhol and Le Coudray) to sixty-six today brings additional inhabitants and businesses (and therefore income) but also more expenditure above all in rural areas. “It’s difficult to estimate because the territories are different and the municipalities too”, recognizes Franck Masselus who, despite everything, puts forward the “duty of solidarity” with regard to municipalities which do not necessarily have the means to ‘invest.
“To govern” or “to speak”?
There is no ice rink in Châteaudun, for the second consecutive year, and the municipality has decided to replace it with a fun fair. “To lead is to assume. You must assume the choice of not having put an ice rink. This is a significant cost, but if we want to give ourselves the means, we can find them, ”assured Clément Poirier, spokesperson for the“ Together revitalize Châteaudun ”group, to the mayor, Fabien Verdier. “It had a playful contribution, allowed young people to experience a first student job – I lived it for four years and I have fond memories of it – benefited downtown businesses. “
premium What the Christmas events in Châteaudun have in store for you
Fabien Verdier was not very sensitive to these arguments: “You are young and already nostalgic. You are already in the old days. You have to accept to evolve in life. There is the Covid-19 crisis and € 80,000 for the ice rink is € 80,000. If we put it in place and have to close, it’s a shame. The funfair is original and there is something for all ages. It allows you to have a Christmas that is a little festive, a little lively. We have to find balanced solutions. To govern is to choose. We govern. You, you speak! ”
