It took GM Axel Smith more than 29 hours to complete a 49-board blindfold simul this weekend. The Swedish grandmaster scored a dominant 41-8—but said afterward that raising awareness for a climate cause mattered more than the result or any record.

If you’re still missing forks and pins under pressure, the problem isn't knowledge. It’s a lack of automation.
Time to turn your tactical theory into a reflex 🧠

Not to be that guy but are we going to one day lose control of these robots and have to fight them?

This Chinese humanoid robot just shattered the world record for a half marathon, finishing in 50 min 26 sec.
This video shows its crash just meters before the finish line where it had to be picked up by a team of humans. The robot is from Honor, the smartphone maker and Huawei spin-off. This robot was teleoperated while others were autonomous. It seems like all the robots had battery swaps along the way.

Q: Will Magnus ever compete for the World Championship?
Magnus: In several formats, certainly. In classical chess, absolutely not

"I'll play the things that I want to play and I will make those decisions largely independent of what people may or may not expect of me. I think I've achieved what I've wanted to achieve in chess, and the classical world championship is not something I'm interested in at all."
