I still can't believe this heartbreaking news. Sue was such a lovely, funny and positive person, always there for others when they needed her. I was lucky to make some unforgettable memories with her and Gawain over the years. She will be so sorely missed.

Dreadfully sad news today on passing of Sue Maroroa Jones not long after the birth of baby Daniel. If you have memories you would like to share with Gawain, info on how to do this is on his FB @ecfchess

Not giving interviews to Match TV.
Not being a member of the Chess Federation of Russia.
Not having any Oligarch or state funded sponsorship.
That would be an obvious start.

'I was born in the province of Soviet Union, I'm a peasant - don't ask me such sophisticated questions...' 😂
Last night's chat with Vladimir Kramnik at @theworldchess is a strong contender for one of the most entertaining interviews I've ever conducted: youtu.be/F5loREp-r7g

With multiple women coming forward about their disturbing experiences in the chess world, including accusations of sexual misconduct by a grandmaster, the historic game is having its own #MeToo moment. cnn.it/42SJGFP

Enticed. 😂 You guys are a joke.

Invited by the Assaubayeva family, Ilya Smirin makes a comeback as commentator during #NepoDing. Or should he be banned from commentating on chess forever for being enticed by a fellow moderator to share his personal thoughts on female-only chess events and titles while on air?

Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.

Mr Paul Buswell
It is with great sadness we have to report the passing of Mr Paul Buswell early today. Paul was our chairman for several years and many of us will remember him for his regular rapid play events with fun prizes for all. Heartfelt condolences to friends and family.

I wish I had never have to hear (or react to) a lot of these comments indeed, but I hope this will help pave the way for a future of completely sexism free broadcasts. Thankfully, the vast majority of co-hosts I have had the pleasure of working with are absolutely brilliant!

Gross to see such sexism in the broadcast for a women's event.
"Why does she want to be a man Grandmaster?"- Smirin 🤦♀️
Fiona did a great job in an uncomfortable convo she never should have been in. 😡
