putting their full address as well as an image of their property is so diabolical ngl

this looks so cool. that being said, almost all LLMs suck at playing chess except maybe gemini-- the games will be abysmal.

"YoU hAvE lOsT a CuStOmEr ToDaY", buddy they are a NON PROFIT 😂

irony alert: @lichess.org exits X citing toxicity, and the platform's response? a tsunami of hate proving EXACTLY why they're leaving 🤦‍♂️

hi! i don't have a say in the hashtags the community prefers to use so it's up to you to popularize its usage 😅 anyhow, it sounds like a nice idea. will surely look into it.

it doesn't come off as a surprise to me anymore that most of the high-profile celebrities use their wealth and influence to act inhumanely, hiding behind performative activism to shield themselves and each other. what a despicable bunch of people honestly.

Crying after losing is not always bad | Ft. Volodar Murzin at World Blitz 2019 YouTube video by ChessBase India

of course, there's a chessbase india video that captured the moment (with beautiful non-judgmental text commentary) youtu.be/nZN9vkQ7ng8?...

saw this reddit post today and couldn't stop crying. suddenly that old clip of the 13 yo Murzin crying on the board after a loss made so much sense. i will always be rooting for him.

If you’re commentating a FIDE event in the future and you’re explaining the format to your audience, you have to add some caveats, right? You have to say, this is the *planned* format, but FIDE has a history of changing the rules after the games have started, so we’ll see what happens.

it works if you switch the results to feeds

very sad visuals. never seen him so vulnerable in public. not sure if it's only the chess that is troubling him. hoping everything is alright.

can't believe this will be the final image of Magnus from the last FIDE-organized event of his career 😂

he did a thread here lol: x.com/dieworkwear/...

the jeans controversy feels so forced. like how did wearing jeans become "a matter of principle" for magnus and why would FIDE not simply fine players for their first infraction and escalate only if they break the code again the next day? just bad PR for chess all over again.

what i love about CBI is that they seem really passionate (almost childlike ✨) about what they do and treat everyone- from players to people working behind the scenes, with utmost respect. you'll find interviews of arbiters, media persons, organisers and literally everyone connected to the game.

They all thought it was a draw...but Ding plays Rg6! YouTube video by Chess for Intermediate Players

Commentators all thought it was a draw, and were talking about the tiebreaker round coming next, until Ding Liren played a move that shocked them.

No, I'm not talking about the 2024 World Championship. I'm talking about the 2023 World Championship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZREv...

yeah he was really caught off guard which made it so hilarious. dude simply lost it from there 😂

GM Saddler one was most hilarious because he hadn't figured out immediately that it was loosing for ding but then his chat asks him to check the evaluation and then he immediately loses it 😂

rare to see ding this chatty. nice interview

holy sh*t chess players are now super celebrities 🤌

most likely to regulate humidity and temperature of the inhaled dry cold air?

tip for future challengers: nervously knock down some pieces in your first game #DingGukesh
