Amazing video and commentary. This touched me almost as much as Ivanchuk.

Yup, been there. Accused of cheating for finding a rather simple tactic. Difficult to decide whether being accused of playing like a bot should be taken as insult or compliment.

That can work. Sell it as an anniversary weekend away with a side of chess? Although, as long as there are good coffee shops, I can sell the husband on pretty much anything. Last time Charlotte looked very promising!

Hmmm…that on my wedding anniversary…wonder how this is going to go down.

I need to reread this book!

The Unbearable Lightness of Being is the closest I can think of to describe a similar, but not quite the same, hodgepodge of seemingly contradictory emotions.

Mate in 2 from my blitz game this morning. Satisfying way to start off a Monday morning!

Lol! Was the next question whether or not it is by the hour?

Omg this is so funny

I mean, one could write something about #jeansgate and relate it to how companies need to find middle ground between enforcing rules and treating people like adults? Although that topic has been covered to death…but maybe there is some potential there…?

This video broke my heart this morning. So grateful for Danya who was very respectful as an opponent. Absolutely brutal.

I wrote a few chess posts on LinkedIn last year and tried to be as authentic as possible (but not unprofessional - a challenge lol). So many folk at work mention my posts in meetings! So…the good news is, in a sea of cringe, anything even remotely original goes a long way! It’s an opportunity! ;-)

Yup. Brutal.

YouTube video by Take Take Take MAGNUS CARLSEN IS BACK!

Wow - Magnus taking down Sutovsky big time (around 11:30). This guy is not subtle 🤣.

I’ll be going with my team, too! This will be our third year participating- can highly recommend, it’s a fun event.

Magnus saying what everyone is thinking…

In the Take Take Take interview Magnus does say that he was already annoyed with FIDE because of them threatening players for participating in Freestlye - so I think you’re right about this.

The interview with Take Take Take. x.com/taketaketake...

Uhm - I am following him, but, I don’t see that he has posted anything for 9 days on here?

Good luck with that 🤣. Best case scenario you get a few nephews hooked on chess. Worst case scenario you become “that uncle”.

That is a more convenient schedule for sure, this time of year. “I can’t because I’m watching chess” is somehow not that a socially acceptable excuse 🤷‍♀️.

Did Ding miss the pawn endgame, or, that there is a forced trade on the bishop? I had assumed it was the latter.

I have this book in the hard copy and need to pick it back up, too…

Yes! This was hilarious! 😂

What move did the computer want here?

Welcome to the club and good luck.

Do it! And sell them on Etsy ☺️

I was just thinking this same thing today. I know it is starting this weekend, but I have not seen / heard much other than Magnus mentioning he’ll visit. It’s sad, really.
