If a 15 year old wins a chess tournament, it would be huge on social media, but if a 52 year old wins a chess tournament, it's not as impressive as it should be? Certainly I don't understand this world ... 🌎♟️ #lodonchessclassic

I just finished my 3rd World Blitz&Rapid Championship in Uzbekistan, many ups and downs but overall I'm satisfied with my games. Also thanks to the organizers who did a great job! Tough 5 days but time to go home after visiting 3 different countries in the last 3 weeks!! ☺️♟️

I played against a very talented Indian Junior in the last round of World Rapid Championship, her rapid rating is 1751, and her standard rating is 2444. I think there should be some modifications, what do you think?♟️🇺🇿 #rapidblitz #chess

OMG, Can you find the checkmate in 5 moves after this blunder by Ian? Ian saw it first right after he moved and shortly after, Magnus realized that he missed a stunning checkmate! Their reactions were priceless!!! What a game! Chess is beautiful 🤩 #chess #magnuscarlsen #nepo

@MagnusCarlsen Can someone please clarify if wearing an analog watch against the rules or not? Because after seeing some players wearing analog watches during the chess games, I also wanted to wear it but I didn't because I wasn't sure it it's Ok or not, I think we need a clear rule on that!

Not everyone celebrates your success, some may even throw stones on your way. Jealousy often emerges in those who can't reach your level. If this rings true, you're likely on the right track. Just send them good vibes, stay focused and keep paving your path. 💫🚶🏻‍♀️ #PositiveMindset

One of the things that I like in Isle Of Man is that in the morning I can use tap cold water to wash my face! As in Florida I sometimes put some ice cubes in a bowl and then pour some water in it and then wash my face 😅 Any thoughts? 🤓 #isleofman #florida #coldwateradvantages

Yesterday was a tough day for World No 1 Magnus Carlsen, do you think he can win his game today to tie the match? Imo it should be an exciting game regardless! The games start in just 2 hours!

Just came back from "Villa De Benasque" tournament. It was such a beautiful city in Spain, loved it! Although it wasn't that easy to get there! Do you think chess tournaments should be in nice places like this or in major cities where chess players can easily travel? ♟ 🌳 🧳 ??
