If only I had known that the rules were flexible, I'd have lobbied for all 10 players who tied for first to be included in the knockout. Or, if we can have two co-champions, why not 10?! Alas...

Magnus to Nepo: If they (FIDE) refuse (to declare us joint-winners) we'll play short draws until they give up. Idk what it's called in chess but in other sports it's called "match-fixing".

Magnus Carlsen is a liability for chess. #RapidBlitz has been ridiculous. Trying to ruin Niemann's career was a disgrace. Undermining classical is annoying. Arriving late all the time. I just don't like the classless clown. #ChessChampionship

this was magnus carlsen reaction to nepo-dubov knight dance and pre arranging the results #chesspunks #WorldBlitz credits-GJ chess youtube

The #jeansgate matter has seen rather divided opinions, some in favour of Magnus’s strong reactions and others stating that no one is above the rules and that FIDE was right. At least there, we can have a conversation about the issues. It looks like most if not everyone is

By the definition of the word, you cannot have two champions. You can, however, have zero champions, and that is what we have got. #RapidBlitz #ChessChampionship #magnuscarlsen

Fair play to all the professional chess players standing up and calling out the ridiculous decision to share the championship between Magnus Carlsen and Nepo. Good to see they are not letting it slide. FIDE are a joke. #Chess

Meet Jess Phillips, she is the safeguarding minister. She has refused an inquiry into muslim grooming gangs. Can someone tell her she is supposed to be safeguarding children not the gangs.

1. It would tarnish Keir Starmer’s career and put his competency and judgment in question.. 2. Inner city ghetto constituencies are their voter base. This is more important to them than protecting children.

Back to chess club tomorrow night after not having played a game for a month. Worried I'll be displaying some ring rust! Will be good to get back to it though #chess #chesspunks

Magnus wins the first ever Freestyle Friday! 🏆 Have YOU tried Freestyle/960? How do you like it 👇

Winston Churchill did no such things. That you have the audacity to post such vile libel against the man that did the most to save the world from Nazism & fascism, Without any sense of remorse speaks volumes. Let’s debunk your drivel… First of all, the Bengal Famine killed

London, Oxford, Cambridge...As ever, the conversations on economic growth centre around London and the South. Can someone please remind politicians that the North exists? bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg7z…

Has Kier Starmer failed the UK in his first 215 days? Hit like if you agree.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Sam Kerr is a vile racist

Is it just me that thinks the pawns look like a turd drying out in the sun? #chess #chess24 #freestylechess
