Another Chess Record Broken! ♟️
While the chess world was captivated by 🇺🇿 GM Javokhir Sindarov’s spectacular performance in the FIDE Candidates, another young phenomenon has shattered a world record!
His name is GM Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş 🇹🇷 from Turkey. He has become the youngest player in history, 14 years old, to break the 2700 barrier after convincingly defeating former World Champion Veselin Topalov 🇧🇬 in a one-sided match! 👏

Does "Vishy Anand" actually sound better than "Anand Vishy" or are we just used to it?
An unsolvable riddle that will henceforth torment generations to come.

@DanielRensch Hahaha.. tell them that you play on ChessPoint where it's never boring.

Overhearing my 10yrold daughter tell her friend about my job: “He does chess. Well, kinda. It’s a lot of drama. Like, you’d think ‘it’s chess, it’s boring’ but it’s kinda more like a reality tv show.” 🤣🤣🤣

I see Malcolm Pein as the best candidate for FIDE president. He has not only great experience in all chess activities, but also high ethical values, which we have been lacking in FIDE as a governing body for many years.
Malcolm Pein@TelegraphChess
For the second time in a decade, a FIDE President is threatened with sanctions. In February, the European Union declared its intention to sanction Arkady Dvorkovich. We have been here before. In 2015, sanctions were imposed on Kirsan Ilyumzhinov by the US Treasury. As a result, FIDE lost access to bank accounts, lost its credibility and our standing with the IOC was damaged. Fortunately, the proposed European Union sanctions, which would include an EU visa-ban and asset-freeze, have not yet been imposed on our President. If sanctions are imposed, the President should not stand for a third term at the General Assembly, to be held during the 47th Chess Olympiad in September. In this circumstance, should the President stand for re-election, I will stand against him and a broad-based electoral coalition should be formed with the intention of taking FIDE in a different direction. This coalition can be established in the coming months, before the electoral deadline towards the end of July. My team and I are assembling a ticket, including candidates for the FIDE Council. We are preparing a campaign program which will emphasise our objective of transforming FIDE into a modern, self-sufficient and independent non-governmental organisation. A necessary condition for the success of our campaign is of course the support of the international chess community. Throughout my 50 years in chess, I have been involved in: competition as a professional player, tournament organisation at all levels, journalism, commercial sponsorship, chess in schools, social projects, as well as chess administration in the European Chess Union and English Chess Federation. I am uniquely qualified. Ahead of the deadline to submit tickets, I would welcome expressions of interest in joining our campaign to transform the organisation that governs the game we all love. Feel free to get in touch: Email: PeinCampaign@gmail.com Let's do it. Gens Una Sumus!

I am pleasantly surprised by @JenShahade 's book!
No, really. I didn't expect it to be THAT good.
Even for non-chess players.
Smart, scientific, no pretentious BS, no AI fluff.
And...deeply philosophical. Exactly my style 😁

Hans Niemann explains why chess is more skill-based than real life
“A friend told me the reason he loves chess is that there are clear rules. When something goes wrong, you can pinpoint exactly what went wrong. In life, you can be the smartest person, you can make the right investment, you can have everything together, and things can still go wrong”
“My personal belief about trading or real life is that there is way more variance. There are people who are very successful because they have a lot of belief in themselves or they get lucky. It’s a lot less of a science”

Hans Niemann reveals he's creating a high-stakes chess platform where players can bet millions
“We planned a match where four players each put up $1 million, but it turned into a contractual nightmare when people didn’t have the funds. The goal is to bring millions into these matches and use crypto to enable staking for big games”
“There’s this chess mafia that has a monopoly, so I was like, why not start a company and compete with them? Within 10 days, I had raised a seed round. It all happened so quickly, I was shocked. I’m just a chess player, not some Stanford founder, but we built the app and platform fast”

Hans Niemann reveals he got banned from playing chess in America for 3 years after destroying a hotel room
“I took my shoe and threw it at a glass painting. It shattered, the glass fell on the couch and pierced it. Then I broke the remote, the lamp, and the ironing board”
“I checked out and said, ‘I’m really sorry, here’s my credit card, charge whatever the damages are.’ But then I got banned from playing chess in America for three years. They wanted to blacklist me and used it as an excuse”

Hans Niemann explains what it was like playing at an FTX chess tournament before the company collapsed
“They had a boat day, and we went out with FTX’s CMO. I remember talking to him after I had just ended my sponsorship. FTX was putting a lot of money into this, so I said I’d love to discuss a potential deal. He was like, ‘Oh yeah, for sure, we’ll figure something out’”
“That was August 2022. I should’ve taken an upfront payment”
