Chess is always worth making a fuss about! 😀

LEWIS HAMILTON’S FIRST VICTORY FOR FERRARI!! 🔥

What’s happening ……. not a lot, had a pacemaker fitted last week, dual chamber, with left bundle branch pacing.

Amazing! 🥳

For the love of the game! Just took a ChessPersonality quiz and I’m a romantic 💘 Discover yours at: chesspersonality.com/romanti…

Pay attention to this: the woman on the left is Liberata Ríos, from Argentina. Two weeks ago, she turned 101 years old. Liberata learned to play chess at the age of 85. In 2019, she won her first regional title in the seniors category, at age 93. In 2020, during the pandemic, she learned to play online. Thanks to Marco, from the ‘Pawn in the 7th Rank’ chess school (that’s where Liberata learned the game), for their great work promoting chess and for sharing this story with us.

English junior Bodhana Sivanandan played a game against Magnus Carlsen while visiting London for the Speed Chess Championship Finals. A memorable moment for a rising English talent against a legendary opponent. ♟️ #CHESS

Must stop waving my hands around so much 😅 But loved chatting to this legend in the making!

Dear @Pilar_Alegria, In 3 days Anna Shukhman will play for the "neutral" team in the Womens World Chess Championship in Linares 🇪🇦 Today she appears in her Russian 🇷🇺 Chess Federation uniform on their social media. They are laughing at us in Moscow: ruchess.ru/news/report/evgen…

I'm so happy for Igor - if somebody deserved it, it's definitely him and the entire Ukrainian team. Bravo!!

"The absolute finest performance I've ever seen from a team. This European Team’s performance is equivalent to what Tiger Woods did at the 2000 U.S. Open...what we saw yesterday & today is unprecedented." - @chambleebrandel on @GolfCentral Live From the Ryder Cup on @GolfChannel

More to the point, why doesn't Trump play the competition on his own. He is after all a legend in his own mind, the greatest biggest bestest of all time.

Fun afternoon with Tommy… 💙💛

About to stream for the first time ever on my brand new personal Twitch account! 😊 Go search for 'HowellHub' to chat and chill. Save me from having zero viewers 😅 I'll be attempting to remember how the pieces move during Freestyle Friday ♟️😎

These last couple of weeks I've been working on my forthcoming @chessable Stonewall course. I am just wondering if anyone would mind if I make 9...Rg8N or 9...g5N my main suggestion in this critical line!? 😬🫣🫠

Never seen such use of rooks before, exploiting pins!

Fake moral outrage! Earlier today, I posted about Hikaru Nakamura 7-0 results in the Louisiana State Chess Championship. It is very rare for a world class player to play in small open tournaments, on his own dime. Hikaru did not do this in secrets. He openly tweeted and streamed about the event. There was no rule broken. He was well received by the players. He smiled, posed for photos, and analyzed with them. Very professional! Some people got angry about it when it is none of their business. Hikaru can do whatever he wants with his time. If this is against some rules then it is up to FIDE to do something about it. He broke no rule as far as I know. Looking back to when I was a 2000-2200 player, what thrill it would have been for me to play against, and then analyze with a world class player, for free. Top players simply cannot win. When they do this, they get chastised. When they don't, they are accused of protecting their ratings! 🤷‍♀️ And by the way, it is expected, but not so easy to beat 2200 players every game. To say that any joker can beat these players at the Louisiana State Championship is quite insulting to them. 🤦‍♀️ @FIDE_chess Photo published by @USChess
