@pvarshh @Creator1413715 @anishgiri Okay Parnav Varshney with a cat on profile picture hating on Alireza. I believe you

@noclearframe @Creator1413715 @anishgiri Shits not even about being Indian lmao, alireza is just ass. Just chatting to chat

Give me your list of 10 strongest chess players right now, classical time control. I want your (highly objective) opinion.

@Creator1413715 @pvarshh @anishgiri These indian Alireza haters are not for discussion mate.

@pvarshh @noclearframe @anishgiri He made into two back to back candidates and barely missed the third one though lacking all the motivation and going through the worst mental state he ever had for the format he still made it and was never in the last position in any candidates. Pipe it down now.

@chesscom Not chesscom.

chess changed his life

@MrFeuer99 @anishgiri Thats the point. "These days" is irrelevant in evaluating classical chess performance

@noclearframe @anishgiri I would put Nodirbek and Javokhir over Fabiano these days.

@ShreeVanda4 @anishgiri I'd put Alireza only below Magnus man if it was any other day . No one Tops our boy when he is at his best. The chosen prince.

@noclearframe @anishgiri Interesting Alireza over Keymer and Giri

@Arpit668128 @anishgiri And he barely qualified for candidates, until @anishgiri sabotaged it by his Sicilian giga Draw approach.

@noclearframe @anishgiri alireza didn't played much played grand swiss and lcc only recently

@Xaviers_brain @anishgiri Fabi Listens to Tool. So he always gets the pass haha

@noclearframe @anishgiri I would switch Sindarov over Caruana

@pvarshh @anishgiri Believe me man. Im a Veteran Alireza Fan since he was a baby. So Believe me if i'd say i would love him to see only below magnus if not above him. But Rn, he needs to find some love for Classical chess. He is second best in Rapid and Blitz in the world of course. Unmatched

@noclearframe @anishgiri Alireza at 5 is genuinely the worst take ever

@IndieChess @GMJSindarov Aks him if he knows that Jovakhir in persian means <جواهر> and that means " Jewel " 💎

Reply with something you want to ask or tell Sindarov. I’ll pick the top few to show him tomorrow, and record his reaction.

A deal - MUST - include a solution to this oppression.

@IRANinZIMBABWE Can you please give the people of Iran free internet and freedom of speech so the great people of Iran can for themselves acknowledge that our country is far greater than wishing for its destruction! Free the political prisoners, speak to them in peace , and diplomacy! n/rage

One could only imagine.

@chessdom How insane it is to see him supported by his country so genuinely. One could only imagine how Alireza Firouzja would rise if he would've gotten the same support from IRAN and not being have to immigrate to France !!!!

Javokhir Sindarov 🇺🇿 returns home and is met as a national hero

@chess24com @DavidHowellGM Name me one person cuter and smarter than David Howl in chess. He indeed is from Ghibili world hahaha

David reveals that, maybe because of chess terminology, he was in his late teens before he realized dragons don't exist! Judit: "David, dragons are real—only the fire doesn't come from their mouth!" #FIDECandidates

@TakeTakeTakeApp Chesscom will turn into Facebook in couple of years. Or maybe Linkedin of Chess.

Goodbye, Titled Tuesday.

@GMJSindarov @chesscom جواهر indeed

@chesscom ♟️

JAVOKHIR SINDAROV WINS THE CANDIDATES WITH A ROUND TO SPARE! The 20-year-old makes history with a dominant, unbeaten (so far) Candidates run, and will challenge Gukesh in the youngest-ever World Championship match this year! 🇺🇿👑

@HansMokeNiemann Go for Alireza pleaze

I appreciate the positive feedback, chess must evolve. I'm hosting 2 more matches in the same format end of May and hope that more organizers take notice.
