In my new video, I analyze the amazing chess career of GM Javokhir Sindarov, winner of the Candidates tournament. At just 20 years old, he already has lots of exciting stories in his life! Link to the video 👇

@mustreader Good luck!
We are organizing an open rapid tournament in Jerusalem on May 18-19. Great lineup, but more foreign players would be great. Very good prizes, including category prizes!

A new classical tournament in Almaty begins tomorrow. A bunch of IMs and FMs playing, and also one GM. I'm seeded as No. 32. Wish me luck!

He has truly seen a move ahead! Sina has dominated the Baku Open. Congrats on the well-deserved victory in the tournament with 8 out of 9 points!

Will Magnus hold this endgame? Or will it be his first loss in classical chess in 2026?

Now, whoever said that Erdoğmuş is not a true 2700+ player should take their words back!

Hans Niemann recently did a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything). But some of the most important and uncomfortable questions were left unanswered — in this video, I break down what Hans didn’t want to disclose and why it matters👇

Today, Nepo played the King's Gambit in classical chess! And won. It was against a much lower rated opponent (in an open event on Sardinia), but still - awesome stuff!

My first ICML paper has been accepted!
Theory building around Momentum-based Variance Reduction (MVR), with my dear friend @egor_shulg, Sarit Khirirat, under supervision of @peter_richtarik.
After research in signal processing, CV, NLP, neurotech & decentralized AI, I didn’t expect my first ICML contribution to be in optimization.
arXiv soon

Sindarov was nearly flawless at the 2026 Candidates and looked like a player with no real weaknesses. But in this video, I break down one game that revealed a very specific weakness in his play. Link👇

It would be nice if you tag him: @mustreader so that people can follow him, if they are not aware of his fantastic content.

Peter Svidler :“Magnus will be number one for as long as he cares to be number one… I’m not 100% sure that’s true anymore” On a podcast with Mustreader, GM Peter Svidler shared his thoughts on Magnus Carlsen and the current chess landscape. He explained that Magnus is still the best player in the world, but his dominance is no longer as untouchable as it once was. The gap is slowly closing, especially with the rise of younger players. Svidler pointed out that talents like Arjun Erigaisi and Nodirbek Abdusattorov are improving fast and already pushing toward the very top level. Because of that, he said it’s no longer just about whether Magnus wants to stay number one, but whether he can keep these new “monsters” behind him. He also pointed out the strange reality of today’s chess world, where “the World Champion and the best player” are not the same person.
