Perlen vom Bodensee

Zum ersten Mal regulärer Grand-Chess-Tour-Teilnehmer - und gleich einen rausgehauen: Vincent Keymer siegt in Bukarest vor Caruana&Co. perlenvombodensee.de/2026/05/23/gra…

Erst setzt er Keymers Waffe ein, dann Karpows Anti-Unzicker-Manöver.

@LemonLymancom We can only hope, sir

"Toby? I'd like to come along." Let's remember this scene on Memorial Day.

Wie einst Tony Miles: Firouzja spielt liegend. perlenvombodensee.de/2026/05/19/wie…

@PHChess @ChessProblem Here's a chess crocodile. Beyond his mascot duties, he's playing Bundesliga, first board

@ChessProblem Chess suffers from weak mascots.

@SebSwo Ah, das "S" steht für einen Namen?

@Bodenseeperlen MSB? MKB oder MEB wäre mir neu.

Neues Quiz ist online! Eine der 20 Fragen ist diese:

@SebSwo Ich tippe auf Karl oder Ernst. Dokumentiert finde ich das nirgendwo, zumindest auf Anhieb

@Bodenseeperlen Na denn kümmere dich mal drum…😎

@SebSwo Nee?

@Bodenseeperlen Ist Dir der zweite Vorname von msb bekannt? Wäre auch mal eine quizfrage wert.

Congratulations to Vincent Keymer on winning the Super Chess Classic Romania in Bucharest! He defeated Jorden van Foreest in the final round to secure clear first place. An incredible achievement in his very first classical event as a full Grand Chess Tour participant! #grandchesstour

It is a great honor for me to have been nominated today as Germany’s Delegate within the German Chess Federation and to represent our country at the FIDE elections. 🇩🇪 Together with the new leadership of the German Chess Federation, we will represent Germany with strength, unity, and international visibility. Germany must serve as a model of structure, professionalism, and sustainable development in chess - while also helping other federations build strong structures and long-term perspectives for the future. Germany possesses one of the strongest school chess systems in the world, outstanding coaches, excellent tournament organization, and an infrastructure that sets international standards. With such strength also comes responsibility. Our goal must be to take a leading role in international chess - not only through sporting achievements, but also through organization, education, youth development, and international cooperation. We want to use Germany’s more than 150 years of chess tradition and experience to further develop chess worldwide, create new momentum, and actively help shape the future of our sport together with other nations and continents. Chess unites. Chess educates. Chess builds the future. 🇩🇪

At the World Diving Chess champions in Poland, Lithuanian Grandmaster Paulius Pultinevicius and Poland's Anna Andrzejewska were crowned champions in an event where players battled it out on weighted magnetic boards at the bottom of a pool

Korrektur: Nach zwei im Bett gespielten Partien zieht Firouzja nun doch zurück.

Der liegende Firouzja trifft am Mittwoch auf den Spitzenreiter. perlenvombodensee.de/2026/05/19/wie…

Beim Treffen mit GM Klaus Darga, FM Dr. Hans Ellinger & FM Georg Eppinger Anekdoten aus glanzvollen Schachzeiten gelauscht – in denen einem große Namen nur so um die Ohren geflogen sind – dazu über aktuelle #Schach Geschehnisse gefachsimpelt.

@GMAlexColovic @JenShahade Plenty of similar cases in correspondence chess with its suspicious postcards being sent around the world

@JenShahade The Soviets famously stopped the train from The Hague to Moscow to inspect Euwe's opening notebooks as he was on his way to Moscow for the second half of the 1948 match tournament.

God forbid some of us remember the descriptive notation! Though I think the algebraic would do the trick as well, resulting in prolongued "informative conversation" upon arrival.

Round 5 of the 2026 Superbet Chess Classic ended with all five games drawn, leaving Vincent Keymer in the sole first place with 3.5/5 at the halfway mark of the tournament. He is followed by Giri, Van Foreest, and Praggnanandhaa on 3/5. The postponed Round 4 game between Firouzja and Caruana has not yet been played and is scheduled to take place tomorrow during the tournament’s free day at 4 PM. #grandchesstour

Glückwunsch zum 83.! Hier am Bodensee lagen zuletzt Sosonkos "Russian Silhouettes" auf dem Nachttisch, aber es ließen sich diverse andere Werke nennen. perlenvombodensee.de/forum/topic/ru…
