Hans Niemann explains why chess is more skill-based than real life “A friend told me the reason he loves chess is that there are clear rules. When something goes wrong, you can pinpoint exactly what went wrong. In life, you can be the smartest person, you can make the right investment, you can have everything together, and things can still go wrong” “My personal belief about trading or real life is that there is way more variance. There are people who are very successful because they have a lot of belief in themselves or they get lucky. It’s a lot less of a science”

Hans Niemann reveals he's creating a high-stakes chess platform where players can bet millions “We planned a match where four players each put up $1 million, but it turned into a contractual nightmare when people didn’t have the funds. The goal is to bring millions into these matches and use crypto to enable staking for big games” “There’s this chess mafia that has a monopoly, so I was like, why not start a company and compete with them? Within 10 days, I had raised a seed round. It all happened so quickly, I was shocked. I’m just a chess player, not some Stanford founder, but we built the app and platform fast”

Hans Niemann reveals he got banned from playing chess in America for 3 years after destroying a hotel room “I took my shoe and threw it at a glass painting. It shattered, the glass fell on the couch and pierced it. Then I broke the remote, the lamp, and the ironing board” “I checked out and said, ‘I’m really sorry, here’s my credit card, charge whatever the damages are.’ But then I got banned from playing chess in America for three years. They wanted to blacklist me and used it as an excuse”

Hans Niemann explains what it was like playing at an FTX chess tournament before the company collapsed “They had a boat day, and we went out with FTX’s CMO. I remember talking to him after I had just ended my sponsorship. FTX was putting a lot of money into this, so I said I’d love to discuss a potential deal. He was like, ‘Oh yeah, for sure, we’ll figure something out’” “That was August 2022. I should’ve taken an upfront payment”

"It was amazing! I've seen many people receiving - Pragg, Guki in the last few years. It's nice to experience this!" - Women's World Championship Challenger @chessvaishali after the grand reception in Chennai Airport.

The man who gave India two gems - Vaishali and Pragg. That's S. Thiyagarajan - the first coach of Pragg and Vaishali. The bottom picture was taken nearly 14 years ago and the above frame was captured on the 20th of April 2026 after Vaishali returned from Cyprus becoming the Women's World Championship Challenger! What a proud moment for S. Thiyagarajan. As GM R.B. Ramesh mentioned, "Due credit should be given to Thiyagarajan for imbuing in the youngsters a "passion and work ethic" that are "out of this world". Thiyagrajan has produced "gems" and deserves far more visibility for his contribution to Indian chess than what he gets right now." Thiyagarajan is the assistant head coach at the Bloom Chess Academy and has dedicated his life to chess coaching and training.

A wonderful story. Jonathan has a physical disability, but he won’t let that stop him. He is about to reach 2000 on Lichess. He plays on his tablet, using his nose and lips to enter the moves. And look at that smile! If I had to choose between photographing Carlsen at the board or traveling to Jonathan’s next tournament to portray him, it would only take me a second to decide. He’s a champion.
