With all respect towards Chess.com and amount of work they put into promoting chess, #PogChamps3 as a popcorn stuff is replacing and displacing any real chess content and this is just terrifying. #sad

as i play more and more at a high level, i realized my preparation needs some work. i still practice tactical vision daily, but lately i only play e4, so ive started looking into the Catalan again after a short break to open things up a little bit even though it isn’t my style.

Magnus x Hikaru always delivers. Wow. Imagine chess had a cohesive annual schedule of tournaments which mixed formats and attracted huge sponsors consistently so that top players didn't have to randomly decide where to play and organizers didn't have petty disagreements and we

I have never experienced anything like the love of S8UL before. Esports World Cup is a dream! It was an honor to play Magnus in a match, which is different from playing him in a tournament game. Got crushed yesterday. Lots to learn. All the best Magnus Carlsen Alireza Firouzja!!

The GOAT claims another title! Magnus Carlsen is your Chess at 2025 Esports World Cup Champion!

Chess at the Esports World Cup was a massive success. Production was top notch, pace mirrored a typical sporting event, live audience brought great energy, commentary and bonus content was fun, and the drama of the matchups was perfect. Can we please make this the norm?

New ground conquered, it’s been an absolute thrill and joy from start to finish Esports World Cup Team Liquid

Chess at the EWC has been a major success: a lucrative event with a solid qualifier system, aiming to establish a modern format that stands on its own, rather than chasing the shadow of classical chess and the World Championship cycle. Congratulations to Magnus Carlsen!♟️🔥

the Chessable Catalan course prep is paying off against some 1600s :) #chess #chesspunks #catalan #chessable #openingpreparation

Furnace Rework has been a lot of fun, but it has been performing a bit too well. We're toning it down to make it more balanced: - Fire Spirit Spawn Speed: 5s → 7s - Hitpoints: 896 → 727 A correction to Minions' stats is also being implemented to align with previously shared

I'm going to eat more tasty animals to offset your switch to lab-grown meat.

baby boomers lived life on easy mode and think you should just work harder

Keymer Chennai Masters. Carlsen Norway Chess. Aronian St. Louis Rapid+Blitz. Its noteworthy that winners of Freestyle events also dominate the traditional chess tournaments. Freestyle seems to inspire and improve, rather than limit.

My nerfs tier list

Magnus Carlsen vs Gukesh is happening. The Saint Louis Chess Club launches an epic event in October 2025 featuring World Champion Gukesh, Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, and Fabiano Caruana. Points for wins count more as days go on, incentivizing comebacks. Should be fun!
