I thoroughly enjoyed the first round of the #FIDECandidates. Caruana’s win against Nakamura was a strategic masterpiece, demonstrating the lethal combination of opposite colored bishops and the initiative. Even if he had a bad miss near the very end.

Always a great time being on the Perpetual Chess Podcast (honestly I didn’t expected this recorded on camera, thus my make up was imperfect), and talking about great books is just a joy, being able to recommend books that are available everywhere is even better.

Wow! A GM norm when playing such a line up of players is just outrageous.

Today, I’m in Bangkok, celebrating my birthday before getting on a plane back to New York. But before my trip out here, the publisher Wiley sent me a nice birthday #chess #chessbooks #birthday

A game from today: Oro-Volokitin, ECC 2025. White to move, should he capture on f7 or go for the flashy Re8 , intending to meet ...Kxe8 with Bg6?

This is truly sad news. I never met him but I enjoyed his books and communicating with him. RIP, Maestro.

Falleció Zenón Franco, a los 68 años. Una pena haber perdido a uno de los mejores jugadores latinoamericanos de la historia. Tuvimos muchas batallas sobre el tablero, aunque en los últimos años destacó mucho como autor. Descanse en paz. popular.com.py/2024/10/01/fa…

It is truly unfathomable how this kid would come from a country with no chess culture and not only become World Champion, but inspire generations of Indian kids to push chess forward. The legend, @vishy64theking! Huge congratulations to India for winning the @ChessOlympiad!

I suspect this version of the Grob, with a rook on g1 and a queen on h1. Magnus definitely made this game look easy today. #FreestyleChess
