This is shocking! I knew Daniel since he was a young kid. His parents sent him to stay at my home so he can train with my other SPICE students. Always a nice and polite kid! Just saw him at the Charlotte Chess Center. I am so sad. 😭 RIP Daniel! You will be missed!

Hey I made Kramnik's block list! I wonder how many people are on it... I'm sure it's more challenging to get a participation trophy than be blocked by that guy. #Chess

I saw 3 different accounts post the #Bears injury report with DJ, Rome, and Luther on it all freaking out. It's fkin Wednesday... chill out you're all just as bad as the rest of us fans, except you do it for clicks.

I'm on a 9-game online winning streak between dotcom and lichess. I'm not playing elite chess or anything, my opponents are just putting pieces on unsafe squares and I'm taking them! Kinda want to make a lichess study called "Guess the Blunder" #chess

"I saw a few cool highlights but otherwise I just read stats". Caleb can make the insane throw. Fields can scramble all day. 2 different talents.

#BUFvsJAX Romo just said "Allen's playoff experience could be the difference in this game!" It's a scoreless first quarter with 11 mins on the clock lol. And didn't TLaw come back down 27-0 to beat the chargers a couple years ago??

A #chess tournament question: I played in an event where this happened: Round 1: white Round 2: black Round 3: awarded full point bye Round 4: black Round 5: black. The section was FIDE rated. I feel I shouldn't have had 3 games in a row as black, unless the BYE changes it.

12-year-old Argentine prodigy Faustino Oro is heading to Moscow with history in sight. At the 21st Aeroflot Open, he will attempt to become the youngest Grandmaster ever — and this is his final shot. Oro already has two GM norms and has surpassed the 2500 Elo requirement,

I signed up for #chess endgame Ai. I haven't gotten a game against a human opponent yet, but I feel like the bots are way more challenging for the rating. What 1200 knows the theory to the Najdorf Poisoned Pawn AND the Danish Gambit as Black, but plays 1.c3 and 2.d4 as White??

One thing of Endgame (Hans's platform) that I do want to try out are the Battles. So many games with an Armageddon game if necessary... I'd really like to try that out. I can appreciate how the server keeps it organized. #chess
