Tal Donaghy is in first grade. She played for two hours and 45 minutes and won the final game in the K-1 championship! Great job Tal! (and what a great name for a chess player!) #elemchesschamps

The TePe Sigeman organizers says Carlsen himself called and asked if he could come and play the tournament. "We almost fell off the chair, and couldn't believe it was true." dn.se/sport/darfor-s…

Beautiful Endgame! 🔥🎯 #chess

(1/4) Vaishali Rameshbabu (2496) was seeded last in the Candidates after a largely terrible year, but still managed to win the tournament despite a slow start! She earned the right to challenge for the World Championship title and she's almost back to 2500! 📷: M Walusza

Happy 85th birthday to the FIRST woman EVER to become a chess grandmaster, and five-time women's world champion from 1962 to 1978, Nona Gaprindashvili 🙌🏆

That’s a lot of parents and chess kids!! #elemchesschamps

Every child needs to read this book. It belongs in every school, chess club, library, and every space where children gather. Ivie’s story is a reminder that greatness is never defined by age or where you come from, a young girl from a small place can dream big, achieve boldly, and inspire the world✨ We can’t wait to have the physical copies line up our library📌

National and now West African champion🏆. Only up from here.

On behalf of the European Chess Union, we extend our warmest congratulations to Nona Gaprindashvili on the occasion of her 85th birthday. This milestone is not only a celebration of her life, but also a celebration for the entire chess world, which has been shaped and inspired by her extraordinary achievements. Nona's pioneering accomplishments and her lasting contribution to chess have earned her a unique place in the history of our sport. Generations of players have looked to her career with admiration—both for the excellence she demonstrated over the board and for the standards she set through your determination, professionalism, and competitive spirit. We wish Nona good health, happiness, and many more years filled with joy. Happy 85th birthday! #Georgia #chess #legend

I just learned about this book. I’m buying it right away! Boris is an amazing coach, and I like the topic. We should have more books aimed at “enjoying” chess. I am even considering writing one myself!

A qualifying training session was held at the FC Bayern Academy in Munich, led by FIDE Senior Trainers. Participants: 🇩🇪 Shen Tingrei 🇩🇪 Anton Belin 🇺🇦 Oleksiy Nakonechnyj 🇬🇧 Bodhana Sivanandan 🇬🇧 Supratit Banerjee Top performers can qualify for a training with Kasparov in July!

🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura Makes History Today in his stream, Hikaru Nakamura made a statement that showed exactly why he is currently the world number two, then immediately backed it up on the board by reaching a milestone no other chess player has ever touched: his 55th Bullet Brawl title. He scored 52.5/65 and finished with 172 points Winning one Bullet Brawl is already extremely hard. Reaching 55 titles is a level of consistency, speed, and dominance that no one has ever matched. At this point, “Bullet Brawl World Champion” should replace the classical world champion title when talking about Nakamura.

WE WANNA PLAY #k1 #elemchesschamps
