@davidllada I'm not on Insta, but I follow you on here. Most of these pictures seem to be from the recently concluded AICC, am I right?

Wait, you still don’t follow me on Instagram? 🤨

@astounding_v @sciencegirl Perhaps you're right, definitely debated that before tweeting.

@FreeForAllChess @sciencegirl House cats are way more murderous than tigers.

@davidllada Even your selfies come out pristine!

This is Ivan Gonzalez, a chess fan from Bogota. When he learnt that I was in town, he didn’t hesitate to come all the way to the airport, just to be able to greet me before my departure - and get his copy of #TheThinkers signed. I am humbled by such a gesture.

Who do you think the strongest online blitz player in the world is? With increment and without. It probably used to be between Nakamura and Carlsen, but now it's not so obvious.

@chesseverapp Thanks, didn't know this!

@FreeForAllChess We have a trial via phone subscription.

ChessEver Desktop Beta just got better: improved preparation tools and game report features.

@devberkayy @chesseverapp Didn't know that, thanks!

@FreeForAllChess @chesseverapp You can start a free trial from phone and then download the desktop app and login to the same account you started the trial with.

@Arsenal This poster almost looks like something out of MMA.

Scorpion kicks, solo runs and so much more 🇫🇷 As Les Bleus prepare for World Cup action, enjoy the best goals from our French Gunners over the years 🎞️

@Rookreviewcom The choice of image is an interesting one!

@EndgameaiChess Yeah, I think the closer the tournament is to a standard classical WC, the more seriously that world championship is viewed, so Classical WC>>Rapid WC>Blitz WC>960 stuff.

🇩🇪 Vincent Keymer: "Not every World Championship title is worth the same." Vincent Keymer on the proliferation and dilution of World Championship titles: "I wouldn't say so. I would just say that not every World Championship title is worth the same. That's at least my feeling. I would still consider the Classical World Championship title to be the most important one, and I do believe that many other players see it the same way. That's what they're focusing on. I really see it as there being many new formats, and I don't feel like it's so important what it's called. If you have a great tournament with great players and make it very attractive for spectators, that's a great thing. I don't see it as a big problem, although I understand that for some spectators it can be difficult to assess how important each title is." 📷 Lennart Ootes

@olisaemeka_G Good passing, dribbling and on the ball control, very solid player.

🚨THOUGHTS 💭 By the end of this video, you’ll understand why they call him ozil in his hood.

@anishgiri Chessever beef in the works?

Just go to Levon's profile on our ChessMonitor app and clock through the games.😅

@Arsenal Ferb, I know what we're going to do today.

Stunning strikes up and down the country 🛣️ Enjoy our most memorable goals from every Premier League ground 👇

@dom_lucre He may need help, that is if he's not faking, when people are behaving irrationally, they often require help, rather than being spotlighted for our own solipsistic needs.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Hollywood actor James Franco just released this video looking like a different man according to fans as he claims powerful people have been trying to silence him and “shut him down” to prevent him from releasing this footage of what appears to portray an Alien visiting his home on his security footage. His comments is riddled with fans who claim he is faking it to garnish attention after leading them on for weeks.

@davidllada This is the first I'm encountering the name Nabokov, any recommendations?

If you recognize this person, we’d probably get along.

@chessforumnyc Interesting opening setup on the board

NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a dedicated recreational chess player who often uses the game as a mental exercise to maintain his strategic thinking. Abdul-Jabbar used chess principles to develop his unmatched situational awareness on the basketball court.

@PHChess Potentially a cynical take, but sadly, likely correct.

Both FIDE and FIFA are enlarging the participant numbers in their World Cup. Both have upcoming Presidential elections. Do not look for sporting reasons, when they are purely motivated politically, with the aim of reelection. They want to please delegates, not players, nor fans.

@sciencegirl You learn something new everyday.

@Kasparov63 Do you think your idolization of him bled into your style of play or did that come about as a result of natural tendencies?

My first chess idol was Spassky, the favorite of my father and who became world champion in 1969 as I got interested in chess. But the first game collection to inspire me was Alekhine's, esp the Capablanca match, and commentators on my youthful attacking play often invoked him.
