@olimpiuurcan A quick recap of the event! texaschess.org/san-antonio-19…

Two rare photographs of Bobby Fischer that I've discovered in a San Antonio archive, taken during his visit at the great San Antonio tournament in November/December 1972.

@EmilSutovsky texaschess.org/captainevans/ ♟⚓️

Captain William Evans was born on this day in 1790. The most impactful sailor in history of chess, he invented the Gambit and used it to beat several leading masters of early 19th century. Later championed by Kasparov and other top players, Evans Gambit is still a moveable feast.

@olimpiuurcan Me on chess.com

Best chess game played in 2021?

@GothamChess Fun fact: The highest prize fund for a chess match of all time? The Fischer - Spassky REMATCH in 1992, $5 million USD.

Today, Magnus Carlsen said that unless Firouzja wins the next Candidates, he may not play a World Championship match again. Maybe it's because the prize money has been the same for 30 years? What if the winner got $5-10m, would he continue? 😂

@eatheringtonp @chessmensch Bishop takes King?

The decisive moment in yesterday's Titled Tuesday. Black to play and win.

@chessmensch Qa4! and I believe Tate generously captured

From Yermolinsky - Tate, 2001. What should White play?

@chessmensch ...Rg8 Nxf6 Ke7 Nxg8 Rxg8 -/+

GMs are brilliant even in bullet. What did my opponent play here as Black yesterday? What's the evaluation?

@chessmensch h6 and premove g5

From my dad's game. White threatens Re7+, leading to mate and Kxh4. How should you defend?

@chessmensch Byrne - Fischer I think 1963 and I forgot which Byrne. Qh3 Kg1 Re1!! Rxe1 Bxd4

White resigned instead of reaching this position. Can you find the win for Black? Bonus points if you can identify the famous game.

Listening to Harry Belafonte records on original vinyl while my son and I play chess, his latest obsession. This is pretty much the version of fatherhood I always dreamed of.

@SrslySirius @HiltonHart Fair criticism and part of it is vanity, but I sincerely believe that when you give your kid a tough name it gives them some hardship that is very useful in life. I know a lot of really successful people with strange names, famous and not.

Twitter, I need your help. My wife is 3 months pregnant with a baby boy and we need a name. My criteria: - Unusual, funny, and/or a little absurd eg Molson or @HiltonHart - Can't be abbreviated eg Budweiser is out because of "Bud" - Classy without being arrogant

@wolfejosh Funny description, perfect answer, awful notation 🧐

Scrunch and bunch Rook to corner Ra8 Knight takes a8 Pawn b8> Queen Knight takes Rook b8, black rook takes Knight c8, checkmate Yes?

@Rainmaker1973 The @MagnusCarlsen effect is also a phenomenon associated with the world’s best chess player. A common example is he beats everyone♟

The Magnus effect is a phenomenon associated with a spinning object moving through air or another fluid. The most common example is a spinning ball curving while falling like in this clip by How Ridiculous [read more: buff.ly/2PJeIiv] [full video: buff.ly/3kS5dZO]

@seanzcollins @alexandravbotez @itsandreabotez @Envy Wow, check out northtexaschessacademy.com

You know what had a big 2020? Chess. Yep. A game that's over 1,000 years old. There was The Queen's Gambit, of course. But for @alexandravbotez and @itsandreabotez, who signed with @Envy, it was life-changing. “Chess has really survived the age of time." dallasnews.com/sports/other-e…

@oh_NAHHHHH @DanSmithHolla I’ll play some games on stream, or grab one more for some bughouse? @oh_NAHHHHH

Want to stream the $10k "WSOP Main Event" next Sunday with hole cards. Since my gambling addiction/ADD is far too high to just 1 table a $10k, was thinking I might play some slower chess + zoom on the side . Who wants to play and chat poker + chess? Open to other ideas too!

@SilvioDanailov @StrongEconomics Mr. Danailov, please email or messaage me about a business inquiry, a coaching opportunity online for students in the USA. I can be reached at ctoolin@northtexaschessacademy.com Thank you.

Why #Bitcoin is rising and #GOLD declining?The explanation is simple. By @StrongEconomics armstrongeconomics.com/future-forecas…

@scheplick The World Champion @MagnusCarlsen has a chess company on the Oslo Stock Exchange🇳🇴 If anyone wants some lessons DM me, good rates.

Imagine how much a publicly traded chess company would be up right now
