@GrandChessTour @ChessbaseIndia @chess24com @AlirezaFirouzja @STLChessClub @Kasparov63 Second time in two months that Sindarov plays vs. an opponent in bed. If it works (again) I bet Gukesh will take some notes

After suffering an ankle injury, Alireza Firouzja is playing against Javokhir Sindarov from a special room at the hotel during Round 5 of the Superbet Chess Classic. A truly historic moment in elite chess! #Grandchesstour

Final standings at the 23rd Bangkok Chess Club Open: IM Dau Khuong Duy takes the title on tiebreaks… after a ridiculous 9-way tie for first on 7/9. Nine players. Same score. One champion. Here goes the winner and tournament opening snapshot. Many caro-kanns in this one.

He literally ended second in the TT he played with chesscom cameras inside his own room. That is brutal level of pressure, with the world, your family and friends watching and just a couple of mistakes away of looking as a cheater and he still delivered such an "unnormal" level in the worst circumstances. As said, I will look further into your (not handy) data and will try to get rid of my current bias. But we should all try to do the same. Specially somebody with your position as chess legend

Concerning Jospem 1. I never accused him being a cheater, and repeated it multiple times, I just said that enormous anomalies in his stats must be examined very seriously further, if we are more or less serious about anticheating. The deliberate and repeated false misinterpretation of my words from the "propaganda machine" is beyond my influence or control. Can do nothing about #chessmafia constant fabrications 😁 2. Your argument that winning a weak open tournament with 2645 performance is showing anything (for a player who consistently showed top ten performance in TT online throughout years (!)) is, pardon me, just another proof that you have little understanding of the matter. Again, without any offence, just a fact 3. I always remain ready providing full data and detailed explanations to chesscom, FIDE, or any independent specialist. They consistently refused so far. Why, think for yourself, but not my fault 4. The above mentioned pr machine manages to fool people into believing I accuse everyone by even publishing true innocent statistics. If I publish full report with names, imagine the amount of dirt spread immediately by these despicable liers in my direction 😊. I understand perfectly about real intentions of these manipulators, they don't want the truth, because they know it. But I will present anytime full detailed explanations based on data, videos, etc about ANY material I published or any suspicion raised. That's it for now. Read next parts on worldchess.com, I will reveal much more information about the method then any platform even did, read and think Best wishes

Jospem wins the Bucharest Grand Prix rapid OTB (open tournament vs 581 players) So here’s the question for @VBkramnik If strong over-the-board results do not change the perspective on Martínez Alcántara at all, what kind of evidence ever would? The fight against cheating is important. But admitting when a case looks weak is part of keeping that fight credible

@TheSocialClock @ReddCinema Just wait a couple of night hours in almost any city and he/she will show up 😔

@AmberChessApp @ReddCinema The hero we deserve.

wtf did i just watch bruh

Ok. I will have a look at your YT channel (that will take more time and days). It is not a proper way to publish serius information, but I understand it may be convinient for you, so fair enough. On the accusations point, I think refusing to play him online, and repeatedly pointing to his “unusual” statistics creates a very clear implication. To me, and I think most humans, that is the same as accusing. Maybe not in legal terms (maybe) but the intention is clear IMO.

I’m trying to look seriously into your anti-cheating work, especially regarding Jospem and other named players, but so far, I can’t find structured data available. Am I missing a link or something? Please help me with this. For so much that it has been discussed around it, there are partial screenshots, anonymized tables, unclear metrics, and a “Part 1” article that outlines a reasonable general framework but does not yet provide the actual proof needed for individual accusations. The sentence “we cannot reveal the method for obvious reasons” in that Part 1, does not look that obvious to me. Some points on the info provided: - A sub-2500 performance in a big Swiss/open event can happen, especially when a player starts badly and takes extra risks to chase prizes or recover the tournament. But beating Abdusattorov 2-0 in the World Cup, eliminating Harikrishna, and pushing eventual winner Sindarov deep into tiebreaks is very hard to dismiss as irrelevant to the player’s true strength. - shadow ban on TTs players. We know there´s been cheatin in TT (chesscom has published it). To prove your point that the % is much hhigher you need to provide a lot more context. Prices are (were) not that high, and some of those players did not play that much at all. Stop playing for hours a tornament that will render a hundred bucks if you have the day of your life... might not be so strange. We need more data there. - On the screenshot of a player tahta seems to play every 3 seconds allways, ok. That looks like a player cheating. Who is that player? Is it Jospem? can we have a look at the game? I understand it is tough, but others have done it, and published it. If independent analysts can publish transparent work on Titled Tuesday and not find evidence of mass cheating, while the strongest claims against individuals remain hidden behind screenshots, I struggle to see how that meets the burden of proof. I’ll keep reading. But for now, I see suspicion and big announcements and nothing else. On the chesscom comments, sure. They have a commercial interest in downplaying this problem. That is normal and I would even say, legit.

@VBkramnik Ok. I will take the time to go through your information and get back with my honest opinion of it. I'm sure some others will. (Of course if it is too difficult for me to grasp -wich I hope it is not the case-, I'll just say so...).

@AmberChessApp Enough for chesscom with FIDE stubbornly refusing even checking it despite multiple proposals made

@Katelyn_Caralle Another absurd battle between 1.e4 and 1.d4 players. This needs to stop.

Bystanders (including young children) get cornered as teens break out into a violent altercation at the Navy Yard Chipotle in SE Washington, DC.

@EmmansZero Yep. This is the reason we recommend it in our app as a great surprise weapon. You can get the full study with more than 800 positions and comments on it for free in our app. From there you can expand and modify it as preferred. All feedback is wellcome.

1. f4? it's only played on 1% of chess games, that means your opponent plays against it once every hundred games as black (so once every 200 games), but you after every 200 games, you play 100 games as white with that same opening. so that means with 1. f4, you literally have 100 times the experience advantage over your opponent this is actually the case for people who stick to one opening, hence my original tweet

Not offended. I fully accept I’m far from expert in online anti-cheating. Still, it is basic for someone like me, with a science background, (and also an amateur poker fan). I just find it hard to see how new conditional evidence should have zero effect on the prior. Jospem’s World Cup run (almost defeating Sindarov), the filmed Titled Tuesday result, and now Bucharest... I think all that should change the optic dramatically on your original assumption. Then, as a chess fan, watching those online games... I did not see weird moves. Extremely precise moves in time struggles? Sure. A lot. But man he has shown he can do that OTB too so... To me it is completely legit.

Italy 🇮🇹 wins the Open, Ukraine 🇺🇦 wins the Women’s section. #Mitropa Cup 2026: a beautiful reminder that team chess still has its own magic. Here goes the opening snapshot of the tournament. Benoni and pirc doing well, but probably due to stronger players using them when wins were needed

@chesscom Yep, easy... GM Johan-Sebastian Christiansen Am I right?

Who is missing, and why? 👀

@Lordweb111 I have no proof of this, but I love to think this was what actually happened. (not sure if anybody has actually asked Magnus about this)

@AmberChessApp 😂😅

What’s your favorite chess meme?

@chesscom Are you sad? Don´t be sad

if you keep losing chess games just don't blunder

In my case... 1. ... g6 against everything tells me "this guy does not want to go for a draw and is convinced to be better than me at this thing"

what chess opening instantly tells you someone is dangerous? ♟️🫠

@ismanewells Something like this

Que pondrías en este espacio???
