@DavidHowellGM I never want you to stop commentating.

I can confirm that I've officially retired from chess. Time to pursue my true passions 💐🌹

@chesscom @CLTchesscenter Love this bit the image does not resemble his likeness enough.

Announcing the Naroditsky Memorial Rapid & Blitz 🏆 As a tribute to Daniel’s Legacy, this tournament will bring together elite competitors and the game’s most beloved streamers to celebrate the shared passion for chess. July 3-5 at the Marriott Charlotte City Center.

@piersmorgan How would you deal with activists using journalism as pretense?

No… I would want law-breaking protestors prosecuted but not journalists reporting on their protests. This isn’t hard.

@AmeliaBee7 You seem more outraged by the booing than the murdering.

This is NOT who we are. This makes me ashamed to be Australian. We must resist the Murdoch/MSM’s relentless attempts to divide us. This is a time for unity, not MAGA style viciousness and division #IStandwithAlbo #MurdochGutterMedia

@SimonBanksHB How is this post friendly?

Just your friendly reminder that the father who committed the Bondi massacre received both a temporary and a permanent visa under the Howerd Government The son is an Australian citizen who had his security status reviewed under the Morrison Government

@AlboMP Organised rallies to achieve peace! How dare you discourage it.

Terrorists have sought to divide this country but this is a time to stand united – particularly on this National Day of Reflection. There are organised rallies seeking to sow division in the aftermath of last Sunday’s antisemitic terrorist attack, and they have no place in Australia. They should not go ahead and people should not attend them.

@Kasparov63 You are amazing at chess. But people's lives are not the same, we want to live in freedom and capitalism and free speech. Trump might not be everyone's cup of tea but he's healing the world.

Amusing from a Russian exile: "When I protested against Putin in Russia 15 years ago, the government said I was paid by Soros. Now I live in the US and when I protested against Trump the government said I was paid by Soros. I’m not sure if this is a problem for me or for Soros!"

@DavidHowellGM We're with you David.

Words don't feel sufficient. I still don't want to believe it 💔 Thank you so much Danya for our blitz sessions, our late night calls, for sharing the mic with me during commentary, for the laughs, and for teaching me so much. You were always a beacon of light. We all miss you.

@GMHikaru I'm devastated too.

I'm devastated. This is a massive loss for the world of chess. 😢

@FIDE_chess Terribly sad.

GM Daniel Naroditsky passed away. He was a talented chess player, commentator, and educator. FIDE extends its deepest condolences to Daniel’s family and loved ones.

@elonmusk @grok Have you tried to get a realistic Robin Hood to fire an arrow into a tree? It can't be done!

Major upgrade just released for @Grok Imagine. Now at version 0.9 from 0.1.

@GavinNewsom Fuck you Newscum

Your daily reminder that Trump still has 4,946 troops sitting around LA doing nothing. Meanwhile, he has weakened our border safety operations -- slashing the National Guard's fentanyl and drug interdiction force by 32 PERCENT. He is actively endangering our communities by keeping these troops in LA.

@elonmusk @grok Indigenous "welcome to country" and "acknowledgement of country" ceremonies are racist and should not be imposed on a country's citizens.

Please reply to this post with divisive facts for @Grok training. By this I mean things that are politically incorrect, but nonetheless factually true.

@HansMokeNiemann This is because you fucked up.

This will be the 3rd year of no invitations to ANY AMERICAN tournaments. It’s disappointing to see my own federation, and the premier chess club not only turn their back on me, but take active measures to hinder my career. I remain disappointed yet unfazed and will continue to work hard and sharpen my craft.

@HansMokeNiemann I usually play losers who cheat.

Question for online chess players. Do you play more with your friends or in the general pool? Endgame’s play zone is ready, considering making the early play zone invite only.

@HansMokeNiemann This photo has more focus than your chess.

Visited the hotel where Bobby Fischer stayed during his 1992 return match. Collecting all the infinity stones of the GOAT’s legacy, I also stayed in the “Fischer room” in Reykjavik!

@chadbishop @HansMokeNiemann You say there "is not any difference" and then share your opinion that there is a difference. What a donkey. Take your opinion and your fanboy love for Hans the child and go fuck yourself.

@witnosity @HansMokeNiemann An "excuse for everything," is not any different than a "reason for anything." In my opinion, this qualifies as a reason, not as an excuse.

Now that some of the dust has settled, I want to address my withdrawal from Paris. I didn't immediately issue a public statement because, frankly, I was deeply frustrated by the organizers' and TV2’s absurd speculation suggesting my decision was linked to what they dramatically called "new, advanced anti-cheating measures." The article falsely claimed that the last message I received referenced "enhanced measures." To be absolutely clear—this is completely false. Unsurprisingly, the usual suspects within the chess mafia eagerly amplified this ridiculous narrative. At the time, I believed publicly responding would only legitimize accusations that have no basis in reality. I withdrew from the tournament strictly for personal reasons that I prefer not to disclose publicly right now. What’s been particularly disappointing is witnessing how quickly some people jumped on this moment to perpetuate three years of baseless accusations against me. I genuinely wonder when they’ll finally accept reality. A quick note regarding the polygraph: the initial test was canceled for logistical reasons, but after traveling, I have now arranged to complete it very soon. I am taking this polygraph solely because it was a condition of the match—not because I have anything to prove. Every single official chess organization has repeatedly affirmed that attempts to question my legitimacy as a player are malicious, baseless, and entirely absurd. The only thing left for me to prove is that I can become the World Chess Champion. Lastly, despite being wrongfully blacklisted by my own country and unfairly excluded from almost every major tournament, my passion and love for chess remain stronger than ever. I deeply regret not being able to compete in Paris and cherish every chance I get to play at the highest level. I look forward to letting my chess speak for itself, and I sincerely hope my relentless detractors can finally leave their misguided hatred behind.

@HansMokeNiemann Children

@HansMokeNiemann He has an excuse for everything. Men don't do that.

@Kath64867268 Invited is opposite to forced. WTC is not invited it's forced. Invitations can be opted out of. WTC is forced.

@witnosity It's the history of this land and country that we are all invited to share in. Welcome is opposite to division.

It's time we had a nation-wide education campaign on welcome to country, to explain what 'country' means to indigenous people. They aren't welcoming you to Australia, they are welcoming you to their patch in Australia (country), by traditional owners of that patch (country)...
