fun weekend doing commentary for this event! :)
Congratulations to 13-year-old WIM Laurie Qiu (CA, 2248) for winning the 👑 2026 SPF Girls’ Championship 👑 in dramatic fashion! After splitting the two rapid playoff games against 13-year-old WIM/FM Megan Paragua (NY, 2346), Laurie held firm once again in the decisive Armageddon game (White with 5 minutes, Black with 3 minutes, no increment, and draw odds for Black). Megan had won the SPFGI Preliminary Swiss with an excellent 5.5/6 score, while Laurie finished 2nd with 5/6. Both young players then fought tenaciously until the very end in all three playoff games. In recognition of their outstanding fighting spirit, I am awarding both Laurie and Megan — in addition to their cash scholarship prizes — free entry to the 2026 SPICE Cup, where they will have the opportunity to earn valuable FIDE norms. (spicecup64.com) Congratulations to these two talented and resilient young champions! ♟️ In the hard-fought battle for 3rd place, WFM Jenny Qi (CA, 2123) defeated WCM Tori Porat (CA, 2194) After splitting their two rapid playoff games, Jenny won the decisive Armageddon game with White. Incredible battles by both players — well done! 👏 (All final results are pending Fair Play review by @chesscom) Big thanks to Chief Arbiter Judit Sztaray (@ChessArbitress) for expertly coordinating and running the 2026 SPFGI, to assistant arbiters Anna Wyzywany and David Cogswell, and to WFM Devina Devagharan (@SimplyDevina) for her outstanding streaming throughout the weekend. A huge thank you as well to @chesscom for hosting the event! #SPFGI #SPF @alexandrabotez @itsandreabotez @USChess @USChessWomen @WOMChess @FideWomen @OnTheQueenside

Aujourd’hui, j’interpelle @maeschlimann, maire d’Asnières-sur-Seine, qui a inauguré la rue Vladimir Kramnik dans sa ville, en présence de l’intéressé, le 19 mai 2025. Le 19 octobre 2025, le grand maître Daniel Naroditsky est décédé à l’âge de 29 ans. Daniel était l’un des joueurs, auteurs, entraîneurs et commentateurs les plus aimés du monde des échecs. Il a eu un impact phénoménal sur le jeu en inspirant des millions de passionnés. À partir de mars 2024, et durant plus d’un an, Vladimir Kramnik, Champion du Monde de 2000 à 2007, a publiquement accusé Daniel Naroditsky de triche à plusieurs reprises. Avant lui, Kramnik avait déjà accusé des dizaines d’autres joueurs. Son compte sur Chesscom, avait d’ailleurs été restreint quelques mois plus tôt, la plateforme ayant jugé, après enquête, que l’immense majorité de ses accusations étaient infondées. Parmi les joueurs visés figurait notamment le grand maître David Navara, qui a ensuite révélé que ces attaques l’avaient poussé à envisager le suicide. Dans un podcast diffusé le 27 octobre 2024, Daniel Naroditsky déclarait : “C’est une tentative soutenue, malveillante et bancale de détruire ma vie… Il sait exactement ce qu’il fait, et c’est l’une des personnes les plus méchantes que j’ai jamais rencontrées.“ Lors de son dernier stream, le 18 octobre 2025, soit la veille de sa mort, Daniel confiait : “Malheureusement, depuis toute l’affaire Kramnik, j’ai l’impression que si je commence à bien jouer, les gens imaginent les pires intentions chez moi.” Le 20 octobre 2025, sa famille annonce son décès. Le 21 octobre 2025, Magnus Carlsen, numéro 1 mondial, réagissait : “Vladimir Kramnik s’en est pris à Naroditsky avec une telle violence… la manière dont il l’a fait était horrible. Et puis déjà, personne ne pensait que Naroditsky trichait.” Le 22 octobre 2025, la mère de Daniel, Elena Naroditsky a déclaré dans une interview au Daily Mail : “Rien n’était plus important pour Daniel que sa dignité. Kramnik essayait de le faire passer pour un tricheur. Il jouait de plus en plus pour prouver qu’il était innocent.” Le même jour, la Fédération Internationale des Échecs annonçait une enquête disciplinaire contre Kramnik, afin d’analyser ses déclarations publiques avant et après la mort de Naroditsky, et de lutter contre le harcèlement aux échecs. Une annonce largement relayée dans les médias internationaux tels que CNN, The Guardian, BBC ou El País. Monsieur le Maire, au regard de ces éléments, je vous demande solennellement de retirer le nom de Vladimir Kramnik de l’espace public de votre ville, et de le remplacer par un nom que vous jugerez plus approprié.

Today, Hikaru set the record for most amount of moves in a game...810 🤯! It came at the cost of holding up the next round of Titled Tuesday for at least 10 minutes 😂

These wins, even if online, mean a lot to me. Growing up I believed a certain title defined my worth. If achieved, I'd earn the love and happiness of others. I carried the weight of dreams that weren't mine and failures that weren't really failures.

Every year the last four years, I've been pushing my limits proving to myself that I was never bound by someone else's expectations and I was never defined by what I didn't achieve. My relationship with chess was not ruined by me but it's in my hands to heal from it ❤️‍🩹

I play chess for a living. I love the @dallasmavs and listen to every @DLLS_Mavs episode. So if I’m shooting my shot it only makes sense that I challenge @bobbykaralla to a chess game? 👀
