@Sheeeasie Sikker på at denne 18-åringen hadde fylt 18 på tidspunktet? Ev. tenker man i friidrett som i trav, der alle hester regnes for å fylle år 1. januar?

Snakka med Yomif Kejelcha på eit hotell i St.Moritz i 2018. Han var svært imponert over en 18 år gammal løpar frå Sandnes. I 2026 er det lov å vere svært imponert over Yomif Kejelcha som debuterte på 1.59.41 på maraton.

@fl4ree234 @Icarussiano @mikhail_golubev @Eljanov He was around 2650 during the last losses vs Volokitin. But not a top top player - he would have obliterated Volokitin h2h-wise, if Volokitin was a regular in the super tournaments from around 2009 and 10 years onwards.

@Icarussiano @mikhail_golubev @almraujo @Eljanov Yeah Magnus was like 2600 at best

I’d rather believe we’re living in a glitchy simulation than Magnus Carlsen just lost such an endgame today. End of an era?

@Max13493368 @Eljanov Good point, and anyways, my initial post was more of a seizing the opportunity to remind people about one of the more crazy chess stats out there, than to throw shade at the great chess player Eljanov.

@almraujo @Eljanov Tbh that may be why Eljanov has such high standards for Magnus

@mikhail_golubev @Eljanov It's a crazy score on paper, but Magnus hadn't reached the elite as 15, and would have had a plus score vs Volokitin by now, if Volokitin was strong enough to play top tournaments. Btw two draws in that matchup, while there are none in Carlsen vs Eljanov - Bobby Fischer-esque.

@almraujo @Eljanov while against Volokitin...

@anishgiri Magnus said on Norwegian tv he forgot the B in c1.

No way bro didn't see the bishop

@OptaAce @MutuaMadridOpen @atptour @janniksin @ATPTour_ES @OptaPaolo @ATPComms My bad, thx for the clarification!

@almraujo @MutuaMadridOpen @atptour @janniksin @ATPTour_ES @OptaPaolo @ATPComms 5 - Hamburg was the fifth event of the season in 2006 and 2008, with Rome held as the second clay event of the ATP Masters 1000 schedule between 2000-2010. Switch.

4/4 - Jannik Sinner (2026) is now just the third player in the format's history to reach the SF at the first four ATP Masters 1000 events of a season, after Roger Federer (2006) and Rafael Nadal (2010-11). Prime. #MMOPEN | @MutuaMadridOpen @atptour

@Fieco22 @GrandChessTour @STLChessClub @chess24com @ChessbaseIndia @Kasparov63 @jordenvforeest He will play both. Five days between the tournaments.

@GrandChessTour @STLChessClub @chess24com @ChessbaseIndia @Kasparov63 @jordenvforeest What's happening at TePe Sigeman & Co then?

Due to health reasons, GM Levon Aronian will be unable to participate in the upcoming Super Chess Classic Romania in Bucharest. Dutch Grandmaster Jorden van Foreest will replace Aronian as a full-tour GCT player. The Grand Chess Tour wishes Levon Aronian a speedy recovery and looks forward to welcoming him back to competition as a Wildcard participant at the Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz and the Sinquefield Cup. #grandchesstour

@Gustavo94817383 @Bekzod_123 @HansMokeNiemann Fuck you, you motherfucking sisterfucker

Sindarov is a class act on and off the chess board. I’m very happy to see someone so talented and hard working dominate the Candidates!

@Bekzod_123 @Gustavo94817383 @HansMokeNiemann You are a dumb fck

@Gustavo94817383 @HansMokeNiemann Abdusattorov is way better than Keymer

@Persesiloution @eirevnarc @chesscom Bad math. Let's say f. ex. Giri beats Sindarov with white, wins another game and draws two, while Sindarov loses to Caruana with black and draws two, we have tiebreaks

@eirevnarc @chesscom I'm pretty sure anish can catch up ONLY if sindarov draws/loses the next 4 games and anish wins all 4

WDWWWWDDDW Javokhir Sindarov 🇺🇿 has officially won the most games ever in the Candidates tournament current format - with FOUR rounds to spare #FIDECandidates

@Syonnain @TarjeiJS Why would he not? The most important events are those which the currently by far best player, who also happens to be the GOAT, plays.

@TarjeiJS The insane part is how Magnus is still relevant right now, for sure.

It's insane how this story has gone viral.

@rahulcreates95 @RealKidPoker You are so naive to think Magnus 23 and Magnus 35 is the same. Also he handled this situation as good as it gets.

@RealKidPoker ii am a fan of magnus, but this whole scene looked weird and not so magnus vibe to me, ii remember once in india, some lady chess player had touched his feet out of respect and he literally started blushing, that was the actual magnus vibe, this one just feels so off .

I actually found this to be a classy way to handle it. He took the picture, then, rules are rules, no phones means no phones.

@ubudnegjesta @ExVGSvea Realistisk laget: nrk.no/kultur/xl/kvif…

@ExVGSvea Hvordan klarer du å se serier med så elendig dialog? Når er du klar for å se kvalitet som Sopranos, Wire og West Wing?

Sett ferdig Harry Hole. Mye bra. Mye ikke så bra. Litt svevende. Litt klassisk slutt. Santelmann og Kinnaman gode. Førstnevnte litt nølende start. Sterkere utover. Svensken meget god, som ventet. Tar gjerne mer. Terning 4.

@muckwhacker @ExVGSvea Ganske woke, flere norske roller i bøkene har blitt gjort svenske.

@ExVGSvea Hvor woke er den?

@JJensenFinstad @ExVGSvea Du brydde deg nok til å både lese og svare (surt).

@svkine @_OwenM_ He may peak before he gets through enough competitions to reach 6.40

@_OwenM_ Il tapera les 6,40

WORLD RECORD!!!!!!! 👏👏👏 Watch Mondo Duplantis 🇸🇪 improve his pole vault world record to 6.31m in front of a home crowd in Uppsala. 🎥 Mondo Classic (IG)

@ArturKruk2 @TarjeiJS Yep, karma is a bitch. Surprising that @TarjeiJS is doing advertising for a Moscow tournament.

@TarjeiJS Nowadays' Moscow is not the place to break chess records.

The fact that young Fausti came close to break an insanely strong record, is already a huge achievement. He is going to become a GM within the next few months, and he will continue to break records.

@originaldonlee @GMJuditPolgar @chesscom Never in classical (2-0 for Magnus with one draw).

@GMJuditPolgar @chesscom Thought you won more than twice against Magnus so it was only once Wow

One of my top games. 💪2012, Mexico, vs. Magnus Carlsen, with commentary/analysis. More to come next Friday, stay tuned!😉 Link in the first comment👇 #ChessConnectsUs #JuditvsWorldChampions #mytopgames #chesshistory @chesscom 📷 Hector Vivas
