@DavidHowellGM @Chessparty_ Class never fades 🔥🔥

I did it! 🏆☺️😎 Won the 1000-player “Tusenmanna” tournament in Stockholm. A long grind, over 10-hours of chess (17 rapid, 2 blitz games). Wasn’t easy shaking off the rust, but it was a fun challenge. Many thanks to @Chessparty_ for such a memorable weekend!

@Twitch @jynxzi @jynxzi mijo 😭😭

running @jynxzi's gambit next match ♟️ in an astounding finish, our very own /Jynxzi has won the biggest streamer chess tournament PogChamps67.

@JPainter_ I remember watching videos that went viral exposing big creators for this, and the original channels got a lot of attention from the drama It might be worth reaching out to channels that make these 'exposing' videos and getting some free publicity :) would be a bit of justice

@ChessWatchCom @FIDE_chess @chesscom PogChamps 6 7 had over 200,000 concurrent viewers

@RoizMichael83 You can't let black go xc3 for free because of nxb4, bxa6 - or rxa4 with the same idea - (since it lets you go qxf4 then rxb4!! where black's position is over other than that, 1.qxf4 after which black's queenside pawns fall apart with white's pieces happy and black's king open

This is the critical position of Game 5 of match Topalov, V - Erdogmus, Y. White's position is close to winning, but the careless 26.Nxd4? let Black mount a strong counterplay and eventually win. In optimal shape Veselin should have played another move. What is your choice here?

@xxChessMaster rh1 qh5 qh2 qh1!

Black to Play and win 🧐

@EugenePerel Maybe like Sindarov we see a second awakening of Gukesh

My dark horse crushes the Candidates! 🐎 It will be an epic match Sindarov vs Gukesh! 🏆 The only question remains: will Gukesh survive the explosive style of the Uzbek? 🧨

@DavidHowellGM And must say thank you for the continuously great coverage of the tournament

Congratulations to Javokhir Sindarov for winning the Candidates with a round to spare 🏆🥇💪 What a run, and what a year he's had! Gukesh vs Sindarov is going to be a fascinating world championship match later this year 🍿

@Poxonlox What's your take after his monitor cam 1v1 just now where he still won? Do you think it clears him or that it's aim lock

If anyone wants my 10cents on this: He's very obviously cheating. These "coincidences" happen but nowhere near THIS much.

@GMNeiksans Completely deserved, Sindarov had a stellar tournament

Imagine that in the most critical game of the Candidates you play a 99,2% accuracy game - should be a win, right? Well, the opponent responds with 99.5%! Congratulations to Javokhir Sindarov!

@chesscom Gukesh's next opponent will be announced soon...

is it happening

@chess24com 0.00 across all lines yikes.. sad day for Anish

99.4 accuracy is hard to break! chess.com/events/2026-fi… #FIDECandidates

@OyeyemiFawole Unforunately it seems now it's only in Sindarov's hands to throw

Giri’s fate is in his hands. Maybe.

@chessclubICC Is his king on f5..

@Rookreviewcom won't stop Bluegoat from pushing

Bluebaum: “Candidates was over after 5th round, unfortunately…” rookreview.com/news/bluebaum-… #chess #news #FIDECandidates #Cyprus

@HansMokeNiemann I think Chess in slums does some pretty great work

The loser of the match against Awonder donates 10k to the Winner’s choice. The match is far from over, but what charities would you recommend? I know Gift of Chess , Chess in the Slums, and Chess in the Schools do amazing work.

@chesscom It's poetic that Giri has to defeat the Great Bluebaum Wall in the final round to even be in contention

If Sindarov DOESN'T win the Candidates, we'll follow back everyone who replies to this tweet

@Vachier_Lagrave Must say, this would also be great for the viewers and hence great for bringing in sponsors if advertised and produced properly!

I take the opportunity to offer my similar view, with a twist: using this short classical time control, I loved the format of WR Chess that I took part in, 16 players, 1 match per day, 4 days. You could easily imagine creating a circuit looking like the ATP tour, with 2-3 different tournaments in a week all around the world, 16-32 players in each. (and could easily envision a few grand slams lasting two weeks, with more players and some matches with 4 games/2 days) Every player from top 100 and more would have more opportunities to take part in those competitions (and closer to their home), and every game played would have something big at stake. Just my 2 cents!

@chesscom seeing you have .1 seconds on chess(.)com with a mate in 2

worst part about chess?
