Erling Haaland has made a major investment in a new chess world championship tour, which is expected to star Magnus Carlsen. Haaland wore a Norway Chess cap as he entered the London Stadium last Saturday after signing deal – without anyone noticing. theguardian.com/sport/2026/mar…

The chesscom thing disconnected me and gave me a 0 point bye in round 8 of their event where only 2 places qualify and everyone is within half a point of each other :) my internet didn't drop out, I was active in the play zone and as soon as the break timer ended it auto forfeits me. Pretty sure I'm not the only one affected by this bug too. It doesn't even give a time penalty, just instantly forfeits you.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of our EJCOA Wimbledon tournament today! ♟️👍

Epsom 1 marmalised bottom side Wimbledon 1 by 6½-1½ in the Surrey Trophy (Div 1) last night. Wins for Russell, Allison, A Kumar, Gosling, S Kumar and Lee overwhelmed our opponents, who were considerably outrated. This victory moves us into third place, with faint title hopes.
