English
@backmarket nice job carol advcing me to ship[ a fire hazrad, nice job stalling, nice job selling me a product that catches flames, telling me not to touch it but also provide pictures and once picures provided stalling for over a week.
English
@HNCHO7 @backmarket Regardless of what they do this isnt OK refunds arent even imrpotant when its a fire hazard. i wouldnt keep it and telling u to ship it is crazy work. @BBCWatchdog please look
English
@CJI_Initiative @HNCHO7 @chesscom were talking about the past 5 years.... the argument substantiated is that fabiano hasnt by any metric been better since the pandemic. Stop clining onto ancient hisotry chess has evolved
English
@CJI_Initiative @HNCHO7 @chesscom is english your 10th langauge or something? you keep missing the point
English
@bimbamzee @HNCHO7 @chesscom Vishy is a 5 time World Chess Champion,
Because Hikaru became better than Vishy, doesn't invalidate the accomplishments of Vishy.
Vishy will be remembered in history far more than a player that never won the candidates once.
English
@fretfretfret @Teamplayer121 @HansMokeNiemann on what basis are u saying that? his classical perfomances have consisentlty been 2800 level since then too
English
The first 3 games of the candidates have clearly shown that some people are very overrated and others underrated. Those who actively compete against top level competition obviously have a clear edge. Let's see how the chess continues to speak for itself.
English
@Naisortep @HansMokeNiemann yes lets make conclsusions off of one loss with black. did u also do that the lat 6 tinmes in a row hikaru beat fabiano
English
@HansMokeNiemann He said ' some people' to avoid embarrassing the person he has in mind. I guess we will have to wait until this certain someone posts a 20 minute recap video unless he literally doesn't care.
English
@CJI_Initiative @HNCHO7 @chesscom when you have to resort to this level of nonsese you know your arguemnt is weak as shit. The only fair comparison is toruments theybe both played in. Those wold be the canidates, world cup norway chess and the american cup all mutltiple times. go ahead list their perfomrnaces
English
@CJI_Initiative @HNCHO7 @chesscom you are missing the point. History isnt the present. 10 years ago vishy was better than hikaru but he isnt anymore thats the differnce. Fabiano has not been bettee than hikaru sttaicially for half a decade
English
@JoshNoLook Hes literally the second highest performing player in classical freestyle if you look at his results
English
@Duffy_theduck @GMJacobAagaard Because context matters stop being obtuse. The candidates isnt a tournament against 2000s where he'll purposefully make a draw to play TT
English
@bimbamzee @GMJacobAagaard So? Original poster claimed Naka only lost rating in one tournament in last 4 years, and I proved him wrong. Why are you moving the goalpost on other's behalf?
English
@LozHCooper @fl4ree234 @GMJacobAagaard those dont count in the same way the rating gained those tournemnts dont count
English
@fl4ree234 @GMJacobAagaard Not quite true, he last lost rating after playing tournaments as recently as October and November 2025.
English
What are the odds that Abdusattorov will be World Number 2 after the Candidates?
English
@Duffy_theduck @GMJacobAagaard two of those are mickey mouse tournemnts,one of which includes a draw made becuase he had another event to play so only the wc is valid. but norway chess 23,24,25. amrican caup 23 25, grand swis, canidates 2x, grand prix 2x he all gained raiting.
English
@GMJacobAagaard Nakamura also lost rating at Dallas Open, Maritime Open, and Fide Would Cup 2023.
English
@lichessbetter @GMHikaru @anishgiri Oh no he man pushing 40 only finishes third in speed chess how washed. The very fact hikaru csn even comepte with alireza in bullet these days is amazing. In Flat even until a few years ago qas qas clear number 1 in the format
English
@GMHikaru @anishgiri alireza has been owning u in speed chess for long time otherwise you would have been second in many tournament you cant fool anybody hikaru
English
The problem is not the bad views.📉
The problem is that you are attempting to backstab your colleagues, just to increase your chance of finishing second at the EWC.
That is not nice.
And I am not scared of your mob.
It is not a big mob, as everyone can see.
Hikaru Nakamura@GMHikaru
@anishgiri Nice rage bait attempt. I've never said I bring all the viewership (mentioning Levy and Magnus frequently). My comments about viewership relate to livestreaming, not long form youtube content. Failing to understand the difference shows a complete lack of understanding. Do better.
English
@wuestenigel @anishgiri Try being ranked number 2 itw maybe that helps
English
@anishgiri True. Being a featured chess streamer = instant Twitch Partner.
On the other hand, the application process is weird af. 2000+ player streaming daily was not enough for them to accept me.
English
One of my favorite chesscom features is that when you visit their website from a browser on your PC, you automatically get to become a viewer of a streamer that is featured on the so called ChessTV!🍿
Meanwhile, for everything chess prep, there is my ChessMonitor.com.

@dreddking111 @emilyaustin @anthonyjoshua attacked fans…. so dramatic u reek of jealousy clinging onto a single moment after a long 12 round fight
English
@emilyaustin @anthonyjoshua Lol, Aj is a racist, and attacked fans after his loss to usyk. You casuals need to stop talking about boxing
English
While we’re on the Anthony Joshua love train…
A father handed me his daughter over the railing so her gloves could be signed.
Not only did he sign hers, he stopped for every fan.
Truly an incredible man👏 @anthonyjoshua
Mukhtar@I_amMukhtar
Since Americans are falling in love with Anthony Joshua. They should know that he's also generous and gives back to the community.
English
@Suicide95518428 @anishgiri or by performances in classical and previous canidates…. they’re literally 3 and 2 and came 0.5 off last time
English
@anishgiri The 🤡 Carlsen made the same predictions last time - Fabi or Hikaru as favorites. And Alireza as a strong third choice. Problem is, he is going by paper ratings and performances on Titled Tuesday. That’s not how things work in the Candidates. You are a top contender.
English
Oh, pity, I guess I will then have to stop wasting my time and find another job.
Maybe just play rapid and blitz.
Or perhaps give up chess entirely and switch to freestyle.😅
English
@BinojBiman @JoshNoLook @HansMokeNiemann why exactly? the us champs is better for rating than what he’s currently playing. He’s gained rating in every top level event he’s played for years, so what is he scared of?
English
The US Championship is about to begin, so naturally Hikaru goes to farm a Canadian weekend tournament. 10 grandmasters are on standby. Good luck.
English
@Gyan49485 @BelaBaitok the last US champs he played …. & won. If he were to qualify for the match he’d undoubtedly be the favourite. He is simply better than gukesh in every format right now & has been the most consistent performer since his return after the pandemic
English
@BelaBaitok Gibraltar tournaments and the 1st one were Opens (and hence not 2700+ rated). None of Hikaru's 5 US Championships came in 2700+ strong tournaments (he has actually stopped playing in last few years when it is 2700+). One of the Zurich events you mentioned was a Rapid and Blitz.
English
Considering only FIDE events and 2700+ rated classical and mixed events.
Hikaru has won 1 Grand Prix leg on tie breaks, lost another leg on tie breaks - won that overall series, 1 Tata Steel, 1 Norway Chess. Won mixed format events like 1 GCT finale and 1 American Cup.
1/2
BertaBoi@Tickedoff8
@ankitatIIMA Unfortunately, for you, Gukesh will never be as good as Magnus or even Hikaru for that matter.

English
Excellent work @anishgiri and Matthias Blubaum for securing their #candidates2026 seats and placing top 2 in the #grandswiss. Also, big congratulations to @chessvaishali and Katerina Lagno for doing the same for the Women's Candidates. 👏 to all!
