Atousa Pourkashiyan آتوسا پورکاشیان

@GMHikaru That's very Sweet of you Daddy 🥰💗

A couple of days ago, my wife Atousa gave birth to our baby boy. While there is so much of my life that I share on social media, there are parts that I also keep private. I would like to take this moment to talk about the heroine of this story, my beloved wife. To see her carry a baby for nine months as well as going through the entire grueling process of giving birth, is something that is hard to express with words. I have a newfound level of love and respect for Atousa and frankly all women who have children. We are blessed with a healthy baby boy.

@GMHikaru That's funny 😆😅

Feels like a good day to go for a nice long jog...exactly what am I doing playing chess today?! #ParisMarathon

Great to see @Charles_Leclerc continuing to play chess!

For those interested in chess, this is one of my best games against none other than Grand Master Hikaru Nakamura! You can watch the video here, enjoy, and don’t forget to share your thoughts! ☺️♟️ #chess #hikarunakamura #atousapourkashiyan youtu.be/GpOyNhBAG5Y?si…

One of the best parts of teaching chess to kids is seeing how excited they get when they find a checkmate. The joy on their faces is priceless!

@grajat341 Of course not!

@AtousaChess Was HIkaru involved in any of these format discussions

Who came up with the format for the Blitz World Championship in NYC? In the final round of the tournament, the top four boards agreed to draws after just a few seconds. Every chess player I spoke to expressed dissatisfaction with this format. Hopefully, Fide will reconsider it!

@GMHikaru I thought if it's mate in 1, 50-moves rule doesn't apply, but what do I know ♟️
