Hope Ajju bhai Arjun Erigaisi can win his first tournament of the year and make some ground on Hikaru in terms of rating

Not a surprise at all :) The Velammal alumni team may be one of the greatest chess teams in history

Victoria Mboko is what people think Joao Fonseca is.

Congratulations to GM Awonder Liang for breaking the 2700 mark today after defeating GM Pranav in a beautiful positional game with black in Chennai! I first met him and his Dad when he was a very young kid. I immediately saw his talent! His Dad trusted my chess

This has been one of the most interesting years in chess. While we have had the rise of Praggnanandhaa into the world's top 4 and Vincent Keymer 's amazing shows in Chennai and Weissenhaus The veterans like Levon Aronian and Fabiano Caruana have also stamped their class!!

At Round 8 of the Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters Super excited!!!

With FIDE Grand Swiss defending champion and Olympiad gold medalist Vidit Gujrathi What a great day at Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters

One of the best commentators in the country, Grandmaster Sahaj Grover . It's been wonderful to hear his insights online and an absolute pleasure today to meet him in person at the Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters

And I got to take a picture with him as well....what a performance by Vincent Keymer Must be one of the favourites now for Grand Swiss and the World Cup

Congratulations Vincent Keymer on an amazing performance at the Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters Sealing the tournament victory with 1 round to spare, and becoming the newest member of the world 's top 10 (as per the live ratings) Onwards and upwards for the German prodigy

Getting the sinking feeling about Gukesh in blitz again :( 1/4 after 4 games And like we saw in Zagreb, once a slide starts...it's very difficult to reverse it Looks like more he tries , harder or gets ...Gukesh's results in blitz 2 yrs back was better than this

Congratulations to QFI for a brilliantly organized QFIESTA The amazing organization, time maintenance, accessible content , quality hosting and great venue made this a festival to cherish Special mention to the India Quiz , one of the best quizzes I have attended

Visited Chennai for the first time for QFIESTA and my word, QFI what a brilliant weekend of quizzing it was - one of the best I have ever attended. Especially loved the India and Gen sets A magical Zifo quiz was the icing on the cake

I understand content is king , but hosting ability should still be taken into account a little bit while selecting qms for open quiz fests And it isn't about English proficiency, general presentation and ability to interact with gathering- should be maintained at least

I am worried for Gukesh now! It's getting hard for his fans (like me) to keep defending him , but this has been a very bad year for him post Tata Steel :(

Amazing performance folks ! And great to see Kolkata in full force on the podium Samanway Banerjee
