Bored games: After six straight draws, time for chess world championship to tweak the format If chess becomes boring for Magnus Carlsen, what chance do the rest of us have?

If FIDE's aim was to bring chess to the masses, make it more accessible, a more enjoyable watch, the current tournament format does the exact opposite.

On the too-much-ness of Ding vs Gukesh:

Arsenal PA dude you have the chance to do the funniest thing ever.

Brilliant stuff from @tim-stillman.bsky.social

Great night of Barclays

Bukayo Saka looks on ahead of Arsenal's game v West Ham

10 - Bukayo Saka has 10 assists in Arsenal's 13 Premier League games this season; only Cesc Fàbregas in 2014-15 (12), Mesut Özil in 2015-16 (12), and Harry Kane in 2020-21 (11) have reached 10+ assists in fewer of their team's games from the start of a season in the competition. Platter.

MAKE IT TEN

Bukayo’s going to start making hat-trick assists a thing, isn’t he.

That Gabriel goal was so… NFL. Others shielding the receiver to be able to get to the QB’s pass.

I miss top right Messi

Ding's champion craft leaves Gukesh without answers in game 1 of World Championship Ding's middle-game was absolutely incredible, as move-by-move, he tilted the scales in his favour.

The #FIDEChessWorldChampionship is on, and in a battle of 🇮🇳 vs 🇨🇳, Ding Liren struck first.

Here’s @aadityanarayan.bsky.social with an excellent dispatch from 🇸🇬 :

HOW THE FUCK IS ALAN SMITH 62 YEARS OLD?!

Aw heck yeah

Messi in Kerala: government's decision to invite Argentina serves little purpose Bringing Messi and Argentina to Kerala seems a grand endeavor, but what exactly does this serve to achieve?

Messi in India? In Kerala? Sounds spectacular... but what exactly does spending this much serve to achieve?

On #Messi, #Kerala and most of all #IndianFootball

The 2024 season was bad for the Indian football team, but 2025 will be far better The Indian men's football team finished the year 2024 without a single win, but there's still cause for hope in 2025 and the primary reason for that is Manolo Marquez.

For the few #IndianFootball fans on here, @anirudhvm.bsky.social reflects on India’s awful 2024 season, but has seen enough from Manolo Marquez to know 2025 will be better.

This is so stupid but also

At least we got Taylor v Serrando #PaulvTyson

As BlueSky grows, some of the bad elements will inevitably follow.

Not telling anyone else what to do, but engaging – even to dunk on them – gives them oxygen. Not for me. 100% mute/block. I don't need to see any of that stuff, and will just unfollow anyone who puts it on my timeline.

The massive corruption also did play a part tbf, which shouldn’t be a problem in the US… oh

D Gukesh: The Prince who would be King Only one Indian has ever been world champion. No one has been world champion as a teenager (or at 20, or 21). Can Gukesh change all that?

Meanwhile, if #Chess fans have made the move over here, this is an absolute must-read:

Y’all remember having terrible half-baked opinions as a teen and spewing it to everyone on earth. That’s Twitter.

BlueSky feels like my adult self.

Wow. I had no idea on BlueSky you can enable external media so you can watch YouTube videos on this platform. It overcomes the problem of only being able to upload 60 seconds of video here. It’s gets better & better
