The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

@HansMokeNiemann This will definitely be an exciting watch!

May 29 10am local time. Ten tickets left.

@sajal_prat99200 @AryanKu10910599 @chess24com I agree!

@FreeForAllChess @AryanKu10910599 @chess24com If he wins classical 3 times in a row. It is safe to say he has won Norway Chess

In the end Alireza Firouzja grabbed the day's only classical win! #NorwayChess

@DuckDuckGo Personally I quite dislike the forced AI search, so I understand the exodus

People aren’t just complaining about Google's AI search overhaul, they’re leaving. Yesterday alone, our week over week installs surged 30% in the U.S. 🚀 Momentum is growing. It’s time to Fire Google.

@MerriamWebster I mog this comment section, by virtue of being first.

mog | verb | to look or perform far better than someone else

@AryanKu10910599 @chess24com The games so far have been a blast from an entertainment standpoint, plus I'm curious to see if Alireza will pick up the full 3 points tomorrow, if he does he might run away with this one.

@FreeForAllChess @chess24com Any special reason for that?

@sabopasha Every serious chess player understands this feeling, letting a result slip away sucks!

Magnus Carlsen kazancın birçok defa geldiği karşılaşmayı kazanamayınca hayal kırıklığına uğradı ve masayı bir süre terk edemedi

@chess24com He already has a couple interesting soundbites, and the tournament's just starting, I'd say he's doing a great job on that front!

Carlsen on his confessional appearances: "I mainly just want to try and entertain, but it’s obviously better when you combine that with winning some games!" #NorwayChess

@chess24com One of the winningnest chess players ever, he's always pushing himself.

Carlsen grabs a consolation win over Keymer in Armageddon! chess.com/events/2026-no… #NorwayChess

@2700chess Must be great feeling. On an aside, looking at Magnus' graph it's crazy that he's maintained such class for so long

Back in the Top 10! 🇫🇷 Alireza Firouzja is showing incredible form at Norway Chess 2026. Shaking off his struggles in Romania, he secured his second win in a row by defeating Praggnanandhaa, solidifying his position as the sole leader 2700chess.com/games/firouzja… 📸 Michal Walusza / @NorwayChess

@NorwayChess Sometimes even wins hurt if they came about from mutually poor play, not all results are equal, despite what the scoreboard might say. I'm sure he'll bounce back quickly though!

Magnus seems like he wasn’t happy with his game… 👀 (The game ended in a draw) Armageddon time! 🍿 #NorwayChess

@anishgiri It helps to commercialize the game I think, of course in the purest sense of optimizing for best play it's not ideal, however I think bringing more eyeballs will almost always be a net positive for the sport.

Still not sure, whether confessional booth and Armageddon actually adds something, rather than distracts away from the games that matter. Thoughts?

@anishgiri @chessmonitor Is the analysis supposed to be visible for something like this?

It's probably been said 100s of times, but laughter is therapeutic. You might not always have the chance, but try to get in a good laugh every now and then.

@AlexAndBooks_ reminds me of this skit XD youtu.be/IqzMUn90tMg?si…

Every few years a new silly speed-reading hack becomes popular, here's the latest one: It's called Quantum Speed-Reading (QSR). How does it work? The faster you flip through a book, the faster you 'read' it. Using QSR, kids can 'read' 100,000 words in 5 minutes. Yumiko Tobitani, the creator of QSR, presented no scientific evidence for her method. Instead, she says that "when a book is flipped through at high speed the words are transformed into images and come out as pictures," and that flipping through a book helps you pick up "the thought vibrations emanating from it." QSR training centers are popping up across China and Japan and charging students $860 to teach them this new reading method.

@AfricanChessCon Where can I learn more about the stories behind it?

Not just a cake 50 years of African chess history. Every layer tells a story of vision, sacrifice, and brilliance across the continent. From pioneers to rising stars, legacy meets future at one table. The game continues. #AfricaChess #ACC50 #Botswana2026

@MerriamWebster Can't believe this is a word now XD

@chess24com Norway chess has been very interesting so far, and the faster time control makes for a great spectacle. However it does make me a bit nostalgic for the days of longer time controls and adjournments.

But no — Vincent goes for 36...Nc7 and Magnus looks very relieved!

@chess24com Very impressive play from him, just goes to show that form is a fickle thing!

Firouzja lost three games and won none in Bucharest, but now he's won his 1st two games in Oslo to storm to 6/6 and keep the sole lead! chess.com/events/2026-no…
