Aleksandra Goryachkina missed a win today against Tan Zhongyi, her biggest rival! 😱 She now has drawn all six games, and has missed wins in three or four games, the most in the field. lichess.org/broadcast/fide… 📷: Eugene Nisenbaum

@yomamalover6915 disregarding that you are missing the point, you are a random chesscom user, why notshow us your level of play 😁?

@Totally_NoOne no one gives a shit about woman candidates, even a random chess .com user plays a higher level of chess.

🤔

@TradDeshastha The point isn't any of that. the point is she is at a real disadvantage and is not whining about it, while the guy had countless months to prepare and is whining about everything on a daily basis and threw his team under the bus which is something I have never seen before myself

@Totally_NoOne Prep doesn't really mean anything if you are in a bad mental space and you can do well without prep or seconds if you are in a good mental space.

Pray tell how many wins Anna had in her previous appearances in the candidates. 🤔

@Mars010803 @feroade68 In 2020 Radjabov refused to play the Candidates because of Covid and wanted the tournament postponed. He was replaced by MVL who finished the 1st half T-1st with Ian with no losses before the tournament was suspended for a year down the line

@feroade68 @Totally_NoOne Im New, what's the lore?

"Playing well" is sometimes just not enough 🫠🫠 The 1st game is the worst miss, but she should have also won one of the other 3 positions as well😭😭 The wins will accumulate nonetheless soon enough.... anytime now😐

The wins are coming... Any time now...any time now...

I am so tired of this🫠🫠

Incredible scenes on the official FIDE broadcast💀

We’re especially happy to have some kids from the Lviv Chess Academy with us. ♟️❤️ Collecting autographs from Ukrainian World Champion Mariya Muzychuk, Levon Aronian & Niclas Huschenbeth — moments they won’t forget. #grenkechess #chess #chesslife #chesstournament #chesscommunity

My whole chess list is Hikaru getting cooked for being a toddler

What if I said Hikaru wasted someone else's deserved spot on candidates via his mickey mouse tournaments? #candidates

1. Electricity in Cyprus 2. FIDE anti cheating measures 3. Fabiano's end game technique 4. Inefficient seconds Things Hikaru has already whined about, and it's just round 5. We still have 9 more rounds to go. The excuses are going to get even more creative from now on.

@chess24com Beyond embarrassing...

"12...0-0 was not in my file!" says Nakamura, "and it was too difficult to find [13.Ne4!] over the board." Hikaru is unimpressed by the work done by his seconds, who he doesn't name but describes as "strong GMs" #FIDECandidates

@promotedpawns 🤣

@promotedpawns Deleting my replies like a coward 🙄

Goryachkina would be a bad Jehovah's Witness, considering that she can never convert

Someone's ending technique wasn't that great today 🫢
