Chess is so bad at marketing example #291. Step 1: Make chess sports jerseys mandatory. Step 2: sign @Fanatics to produce/market them. Step 3: Sell 100,000 Magnus Jerseys a year.
The @MagnusCarlsen collection just got bigger! Style meets chess with the Magnus hat and tee available now 🔥

My personal Turing test for AI is simple and 100% effective at confirming or disproving super intelligence. One question: What are the rookie cards for all 18 World Chess Champions? So far 100% failure rate. We haven’t hit the singularity yet.

Enhanced games will be a lot of fun to follow. Chess should do a cheat chess tournament. All cheating is allowed as long as you don’t get caught. If the opponent or arbiter can’t explain how you’re cheating, it counts. Added bonus, it exposes new tech so tournaments can adjust.

Paul Morphy. This is a close up of a Carte de Visite made by Gurney in my collection. Mr. Winter kindly published it on his site. It’s different from any other image of Morphy I’ve ever seen.
