SuperNationals VIII in the books! My first tournament as a chess dad, proud of JC & Sergio for trying their best. Big thanks to the whole @USChess staff for putting on such an excellent event, and to the 4,600+ players, their parents and coaches for making the trip to Orlando!

Collecting continues. Another Kasparov mail day. Condition’s irrelevant. These go in the collection. Any chess fans able to guess his opponent here on his rookie card?

The @CLTchesscenter says that I reached 2400 FIDE in my live rating. I have 4 IM norms, so this means I'm now an IM-elect. Thanks to them for consistently organizing these events, and thank you to my family, friends, coach, and everyone who has supported me along the way. ♟️😃

I played an FM in round 3 of my norm tournament. And I won! I messed up the opening though, and we reached a queenless middlegame where I was worse. Below he took Rxb7. This is a mistake after Rd2+ Bxd2 Rxd2+ Kg3 Rxa2 when I should be better with 2 minor pieces for the rook.

Really love this event to honor Danya. Great work @CLTchesscenter and team! Absolutely hate that it's July 4th weekend, though. Difficult for American folks w/families, though I guess we're not the core demographic. (+hurts World Open.) Finding weekends is hard, I get it.

El Madrid pre Capello echó a Contreras, Quique, Soler, Nando, Rincón, Laudrup, Luis Enrique, Zamorano, Esnaider y Petkovic. Prácticamente media plantilla. De ese nivel de limpia (y de peso de jugadores) estamos hablando. Sí.

@PHChess I remember in Curaçao 2002 someone asked Kortchnoi about it and he stated that draws between the Soviets was a conscious and explicit strategy but he didn’t know/wouldn’t name names.

This is quite spectacular. Is it actually FIDE´s official position that there was cheating in the 1962 Candidates Tournament ?
International Chess Federation@FIDE_chess

At the 1962 FIDE Candidates Tournament, Viktor Korchnoi refused to agree to quick draws with his compatriots. However, his courage was not rewarded. Watch the game in which Tigran Petrosian proved stronger and sealed his victory in the tournament. Here’s what you need to know about the 2026 edition: 🗓 Dates: March 29–April 16 🌍 Location: Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort 🇨🇾 🎟 Book your tickets now: 🔗 tickets.fide.com #FIDECandidates #Cyprus #FIDE #Chess

@AB84 I had a kid in my (expensive private school) chess class who I called “VIZ-count” the first time I did roll. Turns out it was Viscount (pronounced “VAI-count”), and it wasn’t his name, it was his title 🫠

@IamFrench_ @NepentheZ It’s different, now it’s very luck-based. It isn’t as P2W as it used to be, and it’s actually frustrating IMO. The days of $1,000 prime icons are behind us though. It’s a ton of untradeable luck-based stuff now.

any of you guys play FC Mobile? I haven't really played it in years and got sick of the pay to win (sometimes even pay to engage in a promo) set up they had. Is it still the same?
