Croatian chess fans are amazing! They stay in the playing hall for hours: observing the players, staring at the position on the screens and quietly discussing the game with their neighbors. Awarding the players with a big applause after the end of the last game. #GrandChessTour

Happy birthday!

Fascinating article on learning chess at different ages: "Daniel King ... tells me, “children just kind of go for it—that kind of confidence can be very disconcerting for the opponent.” bit.ly/learningchess @DanielKingChess @NautilusMag @tomvanderbilt #chess

A draw in Alexandra Kosteniuk - Tan Zhongyi is the first result of #FIDEWomenCandidates round 4.

Just a reminder that I will be streaming @chesscom 'Titled Tuesday' later, hence why I am not streaming now... Hope to see you over at twitch.tv/gingergm. Waiting for confirmation, but I expect a 9pm BST start.

Sunny free day at #FIDEWomenCandidates was perfect for a sightseeing trip provided by the organizers. Guests (the leader Nana Dzagnidze among them) saw the main sights of Kazan including Kremlin and famous Kul Sharif mosque. fwct2019.com/en/news/12?fbc… #Kazan #KulSharif #chess
