Today, in the 7th round of the Moratalaz Open (Madrid), 101-year-old Manuel Alvarez was paired against Martín Courrieu, 8. They were born 93 years apart! Manuel, who will turn 102 next month, won the game. 📸: Luis Eduardo Mansilla

Guess the best move. Bonus points if you know the game.

The common public is only aware of the players who are doing well currently, in the news and become their fans (till the next sensation comes into the picture!) But for every player who is visible and successful, there are so many unheard, unknown, and largely ignored pools of players who are struggling to reach the top without any kind of support. This large group needs support and a caring and responsive system. The parents, people in their close circle, and teachers of these players are aware of the struggles involved.

Elon Musk famously said that "chess is too simple". Here are some facts: ➢ The best players in the world can hardly make a single draw against the best computers, let alone win against them. ➢ Unlike other games such as checkers, chess hasn't been solved, and it is very far away from being solved. ➢ The number one player in the world is more than 50 Elo points ahead of the second. It is not like the game is so simple that you cannot get ahead. Chess is simple enough for humans to grasp it but complex enough to allow for indefinite mastery. Of course, you can always make a game arbitrarily more complex, but is that really the point? #ElonMusk #Chess

Today’s police/court instigated postponement of the #OccupyBoGProtest which is now scheduled for September 12, 2023 allows us more time to reveal further damning findings about the Addison-led Bank of Ghana. I shall therefore publish fresh revelations at 5am tomorrow. Tomorrow’s exposé will only be the first for this latest round of publications as we build up to next week’s demo. The supreme national interest, pure accountability and the people’s right to know shall continue to be the guiding principle in the pursuit of our parliamentary oversight. For God & Country. Ghana First 🇬🇭

In any serious country, NAM 1 will be behind bars by now. Having the audacity to charge customers ghc650 again shows how the scammer is connected to political power!

Mr. President @NAkufoAddo, respectfully, don't do this. PLEASE DON'T. We have wasted too much money on housing projects which are never completed. Why start a new one which YOU KNOW you'll not finish? Even Agenda 111, not a single hospital is COMPLETED. Why? #Ghana 🇬🇭

Many democracies in Africa are not any better than military regimes.

🇬🇭Coach Ibrahim Tanko took a really bold decision and must be applauded. Not many Coaches can take off their Captains after only 45 minutes of a tournament. Respect!

13 years ago today, Julian Assange released a video showing US Forces firing on Iraqi civilians, including children. Now he faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing it.

Chess is education — Period. The curriculum is the game which has been played for 2,000 years. The board & pieces & rules make up curricular content that can be universally used as a tool in every country & every community globally. It starts with one — it starts with you.

In Ghana when you pay someone for a service, you have to be nice and tip them to do what you PAID them for.
