Just checked my chess.com rapid stats. As black, I see an Open Sicilian in only 1 in 4 Sicilian games. I face d4 over 2x more 😭

My friend Daniel Naroditsky is being attacked and falsely accused by Vladimir Kramnik. Please take a principled stance in signing this open letter which was written to support Danya and call Kramnik out. To add your name, comment here, send a DM, or email - [email protected]

#Chesspunks who play the French as your main repertoire, how happy are you with life? I've played the Sicilian for years, but I'm getting itchy feet. Feels like White has many good weapons.

OMG Gukesh!

Thrilled for Gukesh. Incredible achievement and bonkers what a combination of maturity and qualities he has at 18.

Such a shame that the two new Rapidplay champions of the world had their moments of glory overshadowed by other matters. 'Focusing on the positive' should be a goal for 2025 for some people.

Still looking for someone to interview for Chess Journeys this week. Preferably Monday at 8 PM pacific. Let me know if you are available. Thanks. #chesspunks

For the last 2.5 months, I played the LoneWolf League on lichess.org! The format was 30+30, 11 rounds, one game per week. I recorded all my prep, live commentary, and post-game analysis. 29 total hours of video. Highly recommend this league to anyone looking to improve their chess.

My Dad died on Wednesday. This was the first chess book we got about chess, back in 80s. It was lovely to dive down the same rabbit hole and share a hobby as rich as chess. I will always associate chess with my Dad ❤️. Chessable -#CheckThisBook
