Don’t know how a whole National Chess Champion is being “punished” because he paid for his FIDE title himself, and the federation has refused to file his FM application, @FIDE_chess they said the money is now charity since the federation has refused to file an application,clarify

The Complacency displayed by the NCF body is alarming!The Nigerian chess community is suffering dearly for their poor delivery of administrative duties. Firstly, no chess in the National Sports Festival, and now this again!They keep trying to silence players that come out to talk

(1/2) Olisa Tennyson on being Nigeria's National Chess Champion: "The National Champion title is starting to feel no different from winning an open tournament. If there is no recognition, support, or even basic administrative backing for the National Champion....

Imagine a National Sports Festival without chess. That’s Enugu 2026 right now.

Was third place out of 16 participants. Not so bad for a washed player.
Thanks for playing, till next month

I have been sponsoring monthly rapid tournament since November last year as there is none in my state. For the first time, tonight, someone sponsored 100k+ to add to the prize pool for this month and next month's edition. Feels nice to have someone supporting the vision!

Special thanks to @Deejee192004 without whom none of this would have started! And the Unilorin chess club for the collaborations, also to the supporters and sponsors

@justjayeh @BruvschessMedia @Fowe No revenue, rather, we pay out money every time for those covering events, and those on salary, more like a passion project for me. No volunteers.

When we started @BruvschessMedia in 2018, our first major event was the National Sports Festival in Abuja. The first person I spoke to about it was @fowe, whose company offered to build us a solid website with a chess-playing arena at a discounted rate.

@OyeyemiFawole @BruvschessMedia @Fowe That makes sense. I thought so as well which makes it all the more impressive

@justjayeh Yeah. I know. This is some generic observation which I wrote.

Good results, especially the consistency in building your own audience.
I’d just add that for chess businesses, it’s not only about impressions or profile visits. Brand image and compatibility with the audience matter a lot too...

Last year I reached out to 3 chess businesses and offered to handle their X accounts. They said they could not match my pricing. I even offered to work for free for the first 1–2 weeks. Instead of chasing clients, I decided to focus on building my own X account. Results so far: • 2.8M impressions • 26k profile visits Now imagine a small chess business reaching these numbers. A chess academy, coach, course creator, or chess platform could easily generate thousands of dollars in business.

@Lordweb111 Hope so, now back to playing and working on my play but it's not been easy

Went from being 2363 in February to 2090 a week or two ago. Do the math

What's the highest elo you've ever lost after hitting your peak? Mine is 150
English
@KingslayerGM Yeah, corresponding blitz ratings on the other hand are usually a stronger indicator. Still impressive beating a 2700 nonetheless
English
Just going through my games yesterday 😂😭
Played 96% accuracy against a 2700 in a bullet tournament.

This is ridiculously impressive. Like how one person can be the best for so long

Magnus Carlsen crossed 2800 at age 18. That was 2009. He has never dropped below it since. Not once. Seventeen straight years above 2800. Alireza Firouzja, Hikaru Nakamura, Fabiano Caruana, Ding Liren and several others reached it. All eventually dropped back below. Carlsen never did. Check his player analytics on ChessEver. ♟️
