I’m the preferred teacher of @vishy64theking ‘s son? Biggest chess accomplishment of my life.
I call home after my tournament and my son Akhil tells me, "Appa I'm playing rook roller checkmate." So I suggest a move. Then he says, "According to FunMasterMike on @ChessKidcom you don't do that!" So I ask him who is this FunMasterMike?

Nostalgic chess players can now access the “original recording remastered” of the game. I have to know what this means.

A great guy I’m eager to see again, but who knows where in the world that will happen. Last time I talked to him he was having breakfast in Bangkok. Between @ChessMike and me, we’ve covered a lot of ground! 😁

Sharing that this is actually huge for us — not just because 31 Billion games is f*ing cool 🤣 — but because getting our “backend” sorted with Explorer has taken painfully long in so (too) many ways… BUT now that we’re here, looking to add lots of Analysis tools (better things for coaches, serious players looking to study and build repertoires, databases, etc) in the coming year.
Introducing the LARGEST game database in history with over 31 BILLION chess games to learn from! 🤯 You can now study every move ever played by Chess.com members, including how many are blundering Scholar's Mate, and whether the BongCloud is actually useful!

How did @GMHikaru win his first Titled Tuesday in 6 months on @chesscom? Speed, active pieces, and a few nice sacs. youtube.com/watch?v=0-8Es3vy…

We made @alexandrabotez play 4 kids at once. In the ultimate Botez Gambit, she was losing on the first board after 8 moves. Was she able to recover? youtube.com/watch?v=KOJvdlWM…

Setting aside everything off the board, I had not revisited the actual @MagnusCarlsen vs. @HansMokeNiemann game in quite some time, so I decided to do a deep dive: youtube.com/watch?v=9zJawnQA…
