Imagine if Magnus and Arjun had a 14-game match concurrent with the world championship. Everyone would watch that instead. FIDE would be so mad.

What's the current age of the person who will eventually take over world #1 from Magnus?

If anyone ever writes the book "How to beat 1900s at chess," which will be a game collection of 1900s losing to stronger players, I nominate my game at ALTO against Dina Belenkaya where I didn't make any howling blunders but my plan was too slow and she won pretty easily.

In this position she played Ng3 followed by Qh6 and I thought, "What do these moves do?", and then I found out.

Weird incident at ALTO on the top board of the U1800 section. White makes a move and presses the clock. Black writes it down, then as he's putting down his pen, the pen presses the clock. White doesn't notice for several minutes, and goes on to lose in time pressure.

(We have video of this because it's in the background of Dina Belenkaya's stream.)

I watched this and thought, I must be spending too much time thinking about chess, I think I just heard the monkey say “knight e6”. But actually the monkey really did say “knight e6”. (around the 2:35 mark)

I don’t know how long they watched but it was at least long enough for my mom to hear this and text me about it.
