@chess_feed Lazy... castling puzzels in endgame positions are more annoying than interesting.

White to move, mate in 1!

@pvarshh @EndgameaiChess Dude are you dim? Do you know what the word 'prospect ' means? You can not call a WC an overrated prospect, even if it happened 25 years ago. It's quite literally the opposite.

@DhulstNicolas @EndgameaiChess Word salad, Russia was relevant 5 years ago in the chess world

Ian Nepomniachtchi : “Topalov basically donated his rating to Erdogmus” Ian Nepomniachtchi shared his blunt take on the match between Yağız Kaan Erdogmuş 🇹🇷 and former World Champion Veselin Topalov 🇧🇬, where Erdogmus dominated and gained 22 rating points: “The opponent was chosen very smartly, clearly with the goal of reaching 2700. A veteran who barely plays but still has a high rating is the perfect scenario. Of course you still have to win, but it’s like boxing, you get favorable opponents to build momentum. If he played Vassily Ivanchuk 🇺🇦, I’m not so sure. He’s very active and extremely tricky. That wouldn’t be so one-sided.”

@mahmutrakyali @EndgameaiChess Fabi basically said the same. It's not a 'Russian thing' because 2 Russian guys have the same opinion. Kramnik is an ass because he is Kramnic, not because he is Russian.

@EndgameaiChess Why all Russians became chess police? Kramnik & Nepo....Interesting

@pvarshh @EndgameaiChess Think what you want about their opinion, but calling world champions and candidates winners 'overrated prospects' leads me to think you overrate your own intelligence...

@EndgameaiChess can we stop taking russian gms seriously lmao ... ian, kramnik, dubov and karjakin might be the most overrated prospects itw

@DanielSubh69 @CHN__Light @HansMokeNiemann He's not hiding I think, just avoiding an idiot...

@CHN__Light @HansMokeNiemann Hans has called out hikaru many times and he's ducked him...maybe tell ur boy to stop hiding

I find the "why did you farm someone random" comment very funny when only a month ago Awonder convincingly defeated Hikaru in a Classical/Rapid/Blitz match. Nonetheless, the tour continues!

@EmilSutovsky @ChessWatchCom Hahaha, now do averages per hour broadcasted. Comparing a 2 hour blitz tournament to a 2 week classical tournament by hours watched is hilarious!

Picture that says it all. @ChessWatchCom provides the data for the most watched event in 2026 so far. FIDE Candidates is head and shoulders ahead everything else, and it will keep this lead till the FIDE World Championship Match - where I personally expect the highest ever number of spectators in the chess history.

@JamesFkcjo @ChristianO13538 @HansMokeNiemann In 2023, top seed 2670... Not the flex Fisher deserves

@ChristianO13538 @HansMokeNiemann First American to win tournament of peace since Fischer btw…

@luigi_domi82957 @HansMokeNiemann Hundreds of thousands? You think Hans has hundreds of thousands of fans?

@HansMokeNiemann Walk your way! Hundred of thousands to support you and taking inspiration

Happy Easter to everyone. A very unfortunate day of blunders on the chess board but that’s part of competition. Have to learn and move forward 🙏

@AasfAsfgd81057 @Sacramentium @ChessbaseIndia @GRENKEChess @ram_abhyudaya Keeping the arbiters on their feet? If they didn't pay attention to the phone on table 1, how many others are in the playing hall?

Kazakhstan no.2 Woman Alua Nurman takes a selfie with her opponent Magnus Carlsen before the start of Round 2 at the @GRENKEChess Freestyle Open! Before the start of the round, an Arbiter comes and takes Alua's phone with him. Video: @ram_abhyudaya/ ChessBase India

@ChessbaseIndia @GRENKEChess @ram_abhyudaya People giving Magnus a hard time for asking an arbiter to remove his opponent's phone are new to chess? Remember Chevchenko, Rausis, Nigalidze? Let alone Kramnik's toilet-gate?

@LadyLun47412276 @ChessbaseIndia @GRENKEChess @ram_abhyudaya Humiliation would have been if she somehow drew or won, and later be accused of cheating because she had a phone on her.

@ChessbaseIndia @GRENKEChess @ram_abhyudaya Lame from Magnus. He is going to thrash her anyway. Why humiliate her?

@alcidesrh @professorfikfak @ChessbaseIndia @GRENKEChess @ram_abhyudaya Why? She had a phone on her before the start of the game! Do you not know how chess works? Only people who have a problem with this clearly have no idea what's happening. He gladly took the selfie before the game...

@professorfikfak @ChessbaseIndia @GRENKEChess @ram_abhyudaya Not really, but what he did was disappointing. He behaved like a complete jerk.

@EncrypticTV @ChessbaseIndia @GRENKEChess @ram_abhyudaya It's freestyle chess, no memory involved. Every existing chess app would beat the best player in the world in seconds though.

@ChessbaseIndia @GRENKEChess @ram_abhyudaya chess is essentially a memory game, any modern electronic device has better memory than a human
