100 camps! A huge milestone achieved in such a short span of time. Humbled and honoured to be a part of this wonderful initiative. Educating a curious mind is a noble deed and a huge responsibility. Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen🙏
Chola Chess@CholaChess

100 camps. Hundreds of young minds. One shared love for chess. A special moment from the 100th Chola Chess Camp. A journey built on passion, learning and young minds growing stronger every day. #CholaChess #CSRInitiative #Cholamandalam #100Camps #ChessIndia @ChessbaseIndia @KanikaSubbiah @Rameshchess @Vellayan_S @FIDE_chess

I thoroughly enjoyed the first round of the #FIDECandidates. Caruana’s win against Nakamura was a strategic masterpiece, demonstrating the lethal combination of opposite colored bishops and the initiative. Even if he had a bad miss near the very end.

@DavidHowellGM I don’t whether to laugh or cry. I hope it’s a joke that I don’t get, if not, I hope you’re happy.

I can confirm that I've officially retired from chess. Time to pursue my true passions 💐🌹

Shocking to see that @DavidHowellGM has packed in his chess career and opened up a florist shop in Oslo 😱 Thought that I should pop along and support him on his first day ❤️ Pop into '64 Flowers' if you are in the Oslo area. (This is not an AI picture)

Cena con el maestro @leontxogarcia. Dándole la turra para que ajuste sus prioridades y empiece a escribir sus memorias de una vez. ¿Tú no las leerías?

Always a great time being on the Perpetual Chess Podcast (honestly I didn’t expected this recorded on camera, thus my make up was imperfect), and talking about great books is just a joy, being able to recommend books that are available everywhere is even better.

From episode 468 of the Perpetual Chess Podcast (perpetualchesspod.com). @Bennyficial1 talking with FM Carsten Hansen about excellent books featuring Tiger’s Chaos Theory by @Tigerkatten

@TarjeiJS When I saw the notification, I was thinking this better be the Polgar Documentary and not the Melania one…

@ChessProblem I’d rather not see it but then you should have nine 2600-rated opponents who would be okay with it.

@TarjeiJS A GM norm against such a line up of brilliant players is just amazing.

Today, I’m in Bangkok, celebrating my birthday before getting on a plane back to New York. But before my trip out here, the publisher Wiley sent me a nice birthday #chess #chessbooks #birthday

A game from today: Oro-Volokitin, ECC 2025. White to move, should he capture on f7 or go for the flashy Re8+, intending to meet ...Kxe8 with Bg6? #chess #ecc2025 #chesspunks

@ginger_gm @chessable Definitely looks like a worthwhile try at making the Bd6 Stonewall work. Looking forward to seeing what else you have come up with in this line.

These last couple of weeks I've been working on my forthcoming @chessable Stonewall course. I am just wondering if anyone would mind if I make 9...Rg8N or 9...g5N my main suggestion in this critical line!? 😬🫣🫠

@ChessGainz Nice performance, won rating in every single game. In Forli 1991, I made nine draws in nine games and won rating in every single game. Admittedly, I played fewer 2600+ rated opponents.

After holding a 115 move draw, Ponomariov is the deserving winner of the #FIDEGrandSwiss Peace Prize 🕊️

I had a quick draw in round 9 to earn my 2nd IM norm! I finished on 6.5/9. I think I gained 54 FIDE points with this performance. Big thanks to the organizers for hosting this event! I'll be back in Charlotte in November for more events. Photo by the Charlotte Chess Center -

@atwell_rose This position does look very pleasant for Black (that bishop on d5 is beautiful while White’s on g3 looks like it needs something to do), but finding the next move is far from obvious.

I played an FM in round 7 of my norm event. We got a draw. He offered it in the position below. I felt I was better due to my more active minor pieces, but didn't see what to do next. I had less time too, so I accepted. I'm playing 2 IMs tomorrow and I need 1 point to norm.

My new book is out. “The Adhiban & Bellon Gambits - Attacking the English Opening” features two gambits for Black, both entirely playable for players at most levels of play. Available on Amazon and very soon at many of your favorite #chess retailers.
