Long anticipated but sad. Chess24 was revolutionary and this truly was the golden age of chess. Join us on lichess.org. You don't have to pay to play chess.

We're sorry to see @Chess24com is being shut down, as many people predicted after the takeover. Diversity in the chess ecosystem is essential to avoid stagnation. Lichess is a charity and will never be sold. Free chess, for everyone, forever!

Many will argue that is all Peter’s fault losing a key banter blitz game vs Lawrence Trent. It all went downhill from there. But let’s put that apart for now in this time of grievance.

9/9 Since I'm Santa Claus, you're probably wondering about the presents. But I am a special-regime Santa Claus, so only those who have behaved very badly get presents 😉

Two days ago some guy commented on my tweet: "f* you Alireza, so ga*" (in all letters). I reported to X who answered me that the man did not violate any policy. So, Twitter openly accepts direct insults, and fully supports homophobic comments. Congratulations. Elon Musk

Navalny & I disagreed on many things about the past and future of Russia, as with many in the broad anti-Putin coalition. But we agreed that Putin had to go, and that none of the disagreements amongst us would matter until that happened. "Keep fighting," always. RIP.

I cannot tell you how much I look forward to the wave of requests for Garry to appear on TV and write op-eds to be on the occasion of Putin's death or downfall instead of on his latest atrocity, as it has been for so long.

we do not, and never will, live in a world where David Navara cheats at chess Kramnik’s scattergun approach is just embarrassing at this point and the people encouraging him (including some top players) should be ashamed

Russian Embassy in South Africa 🇷🇺 Colleagues, you have been spreading fake news for some time and we are now used to this rather undiplomatic practice. However, this one is particularly ridiculous. We suggest your actors work on their accent with some French classes at Alliance française: alliance.org.za

A regime that fears a nurse with 15 social media followers has truly lost its way. 🧵The story of Yulia Menshikh's 8 year sentence is a damning indictment of Putin's rule
