Looking forward to competing with our dream team once again! 🤓♟️
Wadim Rosenstein@WadimRosenstein

Our Board 1 is back on board! Don’t miss the FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Team Championships 2026 in Hong Kong, June 17–21. Welcome back, @MagnusCarlsen. And yes - Board 2 will be @FabianoCaruana. @Vachier_Lagrave joins the lineup as well and our women’s boards remain unchanged with Alexandra Kosteniuk @chessqueen and the number 1 in the women’s section Hou Yifan @houyifan0227. Our captain remains the best coach on the planet, the bundescoach @GMJanGustafsson Bringing the world’s strongest players together and giving chess the stage it deserves has always been central to my work. Proud we made this possible. PS: Let’s see if Magnus adds World Championship titles #23 and #24 to his historic legacy. @chesscom

Alexandra Kosteniuk vs. Bibisara Assaubayeva in Weissenhaus. ⚔️ A Freestyle Chess exhibition match played during the @FIDE_chess Freestyle Chess World Championship, bringing two exceptional players together in the Freestyle format. Four games at the highest level. And a preview of the planned FIDE Women’s Freestyle Chess World Championship later in 2026. Unfortunately, Hou Yifan won’t be able to play the exhibition match due to visa issues, but we’re excited to announce that @chessqueen will be stepping in! 📅 February 14 & 15 🕒 3:00 pm local time ♟️ 25+10 ⚖️ Tiebreak if tied 💰 $15,000 prize fund

The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.

Scored 7,5 out of 9 at the European team 2025 in Batumi, already in Rhodes now to start the EuroClubCup in 2 days. Month of the European chess indeed, but dear @ECUonline please change this « shall stay in the official hotel » policy. It’s not normal and it’s not ok.
