One down, two to go.

To qualify to the World Cup, Ukraine needs to win three matches in a row - against 🇮🇸 on Sunday, and then 2 games in the playoffs. Last time when Ukraine won 3 matches in a row was in 2019, under Andriy Shevchenko.

Sunderland rule
Fulham are dire
The winner was scored
By Harry Maguire

Also, Kramnik and Sutovsky are complete psychopaths.

Russia attacked a kindergarten in Kharkiv today. Seeing the those pure innocent children being rescued, crying, broke my heart immensely. We leave in the cruelest reality.

Heartbreaking, shocking and unbelievably sad news about passing of GM Daniel Naroditsky. May he rest in peace.

Apso, Igor Kovalenko - what a story! Ukrainian hero, he joined the Ukrainian armed forces in 2022. He was awarded with a medal for bravery. And now, he won SO many important games in this tournament! A Hollywood worthy story indeed.

So proud of Ukrainian chess teams! Champions of Europe in the Open section, silver medalists in the Women section!

FPL is back, and so are the donations based on my fantasy results. This year I’ll continue supporting Back and Alive foundation. In the FPL GW1 I scored quite average 51 points. 510 UAH go to charity.

Russia launched ‘catalog’ of kidnapped Ukrainian children up for adoption: ‘This is digital child trafficking’ Russia has launched an adoption database where kidnapped Ukrainian children can be sorted by age, eye and color, and number of siblings, according to the Save Ukraine NGO seeking to return Kyiv&#82…

I feel physically sick and want to cry at the same time. How the fuck is that possible without any consequences???

The article published in the Russian STATE media says: “There is no other option. No one in Ukraine should stay alive”. If anyone still has any illusions, this explains the daily attacks by Russia against civilians. At least 28 people died in Kyiv last night after they bombed an apartment building.

It’s been especially tough couple of days, but I love our people so freaking much 💙💛

FIDE is a Russian government organization. Nothing surprises me about this decision, unfortunately. It’s disgusting and inexcusable, but not surprising.

That was tremendous. What s champion. Undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Again. Legend.

One of those events that the whole country watches. Let’s go, Oleksandr!

Should be an additional edge for the analytics community, no?

I have never heard so many explosions till this night. Currently me and my family are OK, but the attack is still ongoing.

Devastating news about Diogo Jota. May he rest peacefully.

Good win from Elina today against a player without a flag. The level of opposition is going to increase significantly from the next round, but we believe. 2 down, 5 to go. 600 UAH go to charity.

Also, for each set that Elina wins in this tournament, I’ll donate 100 * (game difference) UAH to charity supporting Ukrainian armed forces. So here I’ll donate 800 UAH.

Very convincing first game. One down, six to go.

There is nothing in the world of sports that I want more than a Grand Slam win for Elina Svitolina. Literally nothing.

FIDE defends Navara against Kramnik, and rightfully so. And yet, FIDE remains silent about Karkakin, who literally uses chess with genocidal purpose of erasing Ukrainian identity from the Ukrainian kids. FIDE are useless cowards.

Massive Russian missile and drone attack hits Kyiv, killing 14, injuring at least 55 Russian drones and ballistic missiles targeted the capital overnight, killing 14 people and injuring at least 40, local authorities reported. Damage to civilian infrastructure has also been reported t...

While Trump refuses to sanction Russia, they continue their attacks against Ukrainians. At least 15 people were killed this night in their sleep.

It’s Ukraine vs Denmark in the youth Euro today! Good luck @phchess.bsky.social and I hope both teams progress to the quarterfinals!

More than 6000 Ukrainian soldiers participated in the peacekeeping mission. 18 Ukrainian soldiers died and more than 40 were injured.

This night, Russia again killed civilians. This is terrorism and a war crime. Attacking war planes that do the war crime is not terrorism though. Trump should be concerned with former, not the latter, but of course he won’t be.

Not a lot of things amuse me these days, but the Trump vs Musk beef is genuinely hilarious (although pretty dangerous I’m afraid)

Heartbreaking.
