@OnTheQueenside makes sense, she's out of college now and can focus on her game!

You might not believe it, but two-time US Women's Champion and WGM Jennifer Yu has gained over +100 Elo in just the past six months, including +20 at each of her last four tournaments! 👏 She's up to a live rating of 2361 from a low of 2256 in October! 🤯 📷: Dariusz Gorzinski

@chrisbegley @dengeplus what do you think it takes to be that good of a chess player. they are 'solving' all the time.

@dengeplus That annoying shit aside.. This dude plays chess for a living.. why does he always look so disheveled like he’s been up all night trying to solve some mathematical equation

Kazakistan uyruklu satranç oyuncusu Alua Nurman, maça başlamadan önce Magnus Carlsen ile selfie çekti. Bunun üzerine Magnus Carlsen rakibini hakeme şikayet ederek telefonunu aldırdı.

@eiyawow that motion smoothing is absolutely VILE, don't get me started

using ai to “enhance” video game graphics is the 2026 equivalent of tv’s and their motion smoothing or “soap opera” effect it looks like shit but you can’t quite pin point why

@SceptreDisplay yes yes! the Sceptre booth is always awesome

Should we go to PAX East this year and raffle some cool stuff?

@rachelbonnetta RACHEL KNOWS BALL

Ooooooop!!!!!!

@PodChimp_ @imgyurin right. even 100 pages is a lot for him

@imgyurin 100 pages isnt that much though?

i genuinely have to stop and watch this video all the way through, multiple times bc he's so fucking genuine with this crashout

@LePump69 because this wasn't a FIDE tournament, it's a video where the players are clearly goofing around, Magnus is literally laying on a couch

@julesgambit wasn’t Carlsen also kicked out of a tourney for attire reason? why are we making it a gender issue when it’s enforced throughout.

Being a woman in chess be like…

@FabriceWantiez @ninecastles @julesgambit I'm a man who has appeared in videos online, I've never been sent a multi-paragraph screed, criticizing my wardrobe choices. weird, huh?

@ninecastles @julesgambit Maybe you have a good life and nobody attacks you. But if you try to work in the social media, you will see that it isn’t easy for nobody. Don’t pretend to be an hero you are certainly not

@whoisfloe @SinoRoyale @BillSimmons it means the market is confident Darnold is playing.

@SinoRoyale @BillSimmons This is what I don’t get lmao

Ummmmmmmm…. What????

@Money_sh_ @ChessbaseIndia @tschessindia players can offer draws to each other, I don't know why you're putting anything on the arbiter.

@ChessbaseIndia @tschessindia What was the job of the arbiter, then? Going forward let’s not have arbiter at all. Let’s ask the opponent if he is willing to sacrifice his win into a draw as a “gem of gesture”? The arbiter needs to penalised and banned for a year.

Praggnanandhaa had 14 seconds on clock - he was thinking to promote his pawn to a Queen. Pragg got lost in thoughts and when the clock reached 1 second, he picked the rook (as he couldn't find the queen). As he saw he could lose on time, he paused the clock. While the arbiter came and the situation was discussed, Wesley quickly analyzed position and generously offered draw to Pragg! What a gem of a gesture from the American grandmaster. He could have easily bagged the full point asking Pragg to promote in one second and continue the game. It was very likely that Pragg would not have been able to promote the pawn and would have lost on time. But Wesley saw the position was around even and offered a draw!

@WingsOfVi2 whoa! blind buy for me. the original was that good.

It’s happening. Wings of Vi 2 – same solo dev, 10 years of ideas finally exploding.

@BillyOc98401263 @kylesockwell @katieledecky Ledecky's not really doing her best times now. This record was the 1650y which is rarely contested. Her best 1500m time(the one that matters) was set at age 21. With age she holds up well, just as other women endurance swimmers are doing.(while she's declined in shorter races)

@Fetapult @kylesockwell @katieledecky Really? Well go back and study the great distant swimmers in history. Salnikov, Yang, Janet Evans, etc ... They didn't do best times in their late 20's. So it seems YOUR not familiar with distance swimming. Had to look up Salnikov huh?

SUB 15:00 IN THE 1650!!!!! Katie Ledecky just became the first woman in HISTORY to break the 15:00 barrier 🤯🤯🤯

@BillyOc98401263 @kylesockwell @katieledecky you're not that familiar with endurance swimming I guess. for example the fastest ever in the 1500m (aside from Ledecky) did it at age 27

@kylesockwell @katieledecky If an athlete from China or Russia was breaking world records at 28 yrs old everyone would be saying it's PED's. You don't get faster at 28. Not in swimming. Hope she doesn't get caught

@SuperDojo that tracks, it did look like everyone was having a lot of fun on the stream. good stuff yall

I don't think I've ever felt sad post tournament. This past weekend I wasn't able to bring home the win but had such an amazing time. Just being around so many passionate players and seeing everyone having a good time was incredible. Support your scene and keep the games alive!

@julesgambit this place looks amazing

The last used chess bookstore left in NYC.

@MarkTWIC all looks normal on my Firefox, Chrome, and Edge

I've got a very odd problem with the TWIC front page. One Edge browser on one computer is not displaying theweekinchess.com correctly, putting the right hand column at the bottom of the page. That's very strange to me. Anyone else seeing this?

@wingoz yeah... I can read the article to get more bits of info like that one. seems fair.

This is really a fascinating look as to how the media gets your attention. The information below about Sark is literally the last thing in a long well informed article about a lot it topics. But everything about Sark is exactly in this tweet… nothing more. They chose to promote the article with a pic and headline about Sark on a college football Saturday knowing there’s nothing else about him in the piece… just to get you to read the piece

@TarsmanianDevil @rachelbonnetta is the NFL media space only employing celibates? I had no idea.

@rachelbonnetta in what world do u think posting the man you’re sleeping with is gonna help u get views. This is probably why u lost your nfl deal. You could’ve had potential as sports personality but blew for it not being professional. Loser

Tensions are high, so is the threat to my peace for the next few weeks. @zachzachzach

@johnnynorthstar @5karrot @AdamSchefter yeah what's your point? coaches get fired. even Bill Belichick was fired eventually

@5karrot @AdamSchefter You learn ball Kai, the Jets fired him.

Shedeur Sanders pantomiming today was in response to ESPN analyst Rex Ryan criticizing the rookie QB earlier this week. Here is what Ryan said Monday on Get Up that led to Sanders pantomiming answers today about Cleveland’s QB change and him remaining QB3:

@ryuryu2949 @katienolan simping for mr beast holy shit lol

if there were justice in the world, this pathetic post of yours would introduce caleb (brilliant, hilarious) to your horde — exposing them to the idea that youtube content can be good, actually — and snap them out of whatever AI-generated trance your slop has lulled them into. but since there isn’t (justice): it’s “stone.” singular. famously.
