@ChessbaseIndia Hurts to see a God do human-like things.

Check out that moment when Magnus Carlsen blundered his Rook against Shant Sargsyan. Sargsyan went on to win comfortably, handing Magnus his second consecutive loss!

Although this one was also fun! How did 🇮🇳 GM Erigaisi finish off the Goat in this important match-up?

Most notable moment of today in 🇳🇱 GM Giri's game. White to play, is it a draw? Or can White win? 😜

It seems that 🇮🇳 Vidit's bad form followed him to 🇭🇰 Hong Kong... But what can you do when your opponent plays like this? Even the commentators were saying this is an impossible move for a human 🥲 ...Idea Qh5 followed by Bg6, and if g6, Na4 wins. #FideWorldTeamRB

Learn your endgame tec! It could have secured a draw for 🇳🇴 Carlsen's team - WR Chess in round 2. On the 6th board, chess benefactor 🇩🇪 Rosenstein reached this position but failed to convert. What is the winning plan? Level: 1600+

@chess24com Congratulations! 🙌

Congratulations to Mukhiddin Madaminov on incredibly winning the UzChess Cup Masters despite entering as a late replacement for Javokhir Sindarov and being by far the lowest-rated player! 🏆🎉 chess.com/events/2026-uz…

There were 0 games in the database by move 12 🫙 but the players were both in prep until move 21!! 😮 Modern chess...

Only Nepo 🤣🤣

Typical scenario for the poor 🐴 knight in such endgames. What is the evaluation of the position? 📊

What an idea by GM Dardha 🇧🇪!! White to play and go on to win a brilliant game. 🔥🔥

After the storm (blitz tilt session) comes the rainbow (pretty mate) ♥️

Is the Grand Prix the most slept on opening for White? Even at a high level. Awesome miniature by GM Jacobson today.

Nice one! Black to play and win. 🎯 Level: 1600+

When confidence is lacking it seems that every decision we make is wrong... 🙁 What is correct in this position, the humble Ne6 or the adventurous Nd3?

I see this Caro-Kann line more than I see my family. Spoiler: White is always better.

If you are rated below 2000 you shouldn't even begin to memorize opening theory. A few critical lines will keep repeating themselves and you'll see them often if you pay attention to high-level chess. Apart from that, you just need to play a bunch of games and analyse them.

What is the near-impossible winning sequence that was missed for White in Navara - Blohberger's game today? It's only two moves 🫣

Of course, anyone can make good decisions every now and then. Winning the game is a whole nother matter. Nevertheless, I was glad to think in the same way of a very strong GM in this instance 😃

High level chess is all about decisions. To score a win against an ex-Candidates participant, you have to make a LOT of good decisions and few poor ones. White's next move was vital in steering the game in the right direction. What did he play? 1800+

Judging by GM Sarana's time management, I don't think I was the only one shocked to see the computer's evaluation of this position. WTP, what is the eval?
