This is chess in my opinion: friendship, some drinks in a local bar, following the Grandmasters of #TataSteelChess and enjoying your moment!

We are ready! A full day of chess ahead in the AFAS Circus Theatre in Scheveningen. Watch your favorite grandmasters play live in the big hall♟️, or watch the live commentary with IM Robert Ris and IM Stefan Kuipers in the foyer. 🗣️ Register your visit beforehand 👉

I am sad to read the news of the death of Sigrun, mother of Magnus Carlsen. Too young, obviously. I remember her in a personal encounter in Wijk aan Zee, at one of our closing ceremony's. Smiling, funny, vivid. I wish the Family all the strength that is needed now.

It is with sadness that I announce the death of my father Joris, who passed away peacefully yesterday at the respectful age of 92. The picture was made in better times, in the early seventies. Rest in peace, dad.

Thank you, FIDE, appreciated.🙏🙏

Tomorrow, we will reveal the full 2025 #TataSteelMasters! Will China's Wei Yi retain his title, or is someone else going home with the trophy? Time to find out who will battle it out in Wijk aan Zee in January... ⏳ Who do YOU want to see in the Masters?⬇️ #TataSteelChess

We regret to announce that Vidit has withdrawn from the #TataSteelMasters due to personal reasons. We are pleased to welcome Grandmaster Pentala Harikrishna as his replacement. The #TataSteelChess Tournament 2025 will take place from January 17 to February 2 in Wijk aan Zee,

My view, whatever it is important or not, is that chess is about moves from our heroes. The players make their moves and that is why we watch and love chess. Jeans/Classic/Rapid/Blitz is about moves. Happy 2025! Chess has a bright future!

Wanted to share a few thoughts on the sad news of the passing of Robert Hubner. He was, of course, a great chess player, one of the top players in the world in the 70s and 80s, and he came very close to fighting for the world title. I had a chance to interact with him and play
