Despite the final result I am proud that I was part of the very nice team! Thanks
@lachesisq
for this invitation.
Probably there were mistakes in preparation, but only few people know how hard Ian worked before the tournament. Hope he will recover and come back stronger!✊✊✊
С Днём Победы!
Пусть мужество и героизм этого великого праздника никогда и никем не забываются. Пусть дух победы воодушевляет сердца и ведёт вперёд — к новым подвигам, успехам и достижениям.И пусть весь мир всегда живёт в мире, а о войнах напоминает лишь этот священный праздник!
Carlsen speaking to NRK with a rant lasting several minutes about why he thinks the tiebreak rules in this event are unfair. "I just don't think this is fair. It has to be changed." and "It's just too amateurish in a world championship."

Lost my energy in the final. Still happy with the qualifying to the candidates tournament! Congratulations to
@GM_JKDuda
for the very impressive tournament!
Congratulations to
@MagnusCarlsen
for the brilliant tournament! Also Arjun Erigaisi in the challengers group!
As for me it was a very solid tournament, too solid sometimes.🤔🤔🤔
Now it is time to rest a little and to watch Fide Grand Prix!🙏🙏🙏
Thanks God nothing changes in my life if I play or don't play some tournaments. It was never anything financial special, unfortunately.
And if you think I am dreaming about them, just one fact:
I was invited to play in Norway chess and declined to play there few weeks ago!😂😂😂
Despite Esipenko did not win today, he played some great chess and was the only one who was fighting for the first place with Hikaru. Good experience for the first time and good that he played there!🙏🙏🙏
2/2 My answer is simple. I am on the side of Russia and my President. No matter what happens, I will support my country in any situation without thinking for a second!
Completely understandable decision of
@LevAronian
to change the federation. I did the same in 2009 when I almost did not have any support from Ukraine.
But I am just curious, how many USA players will be in US team?!
Congratulations both Hikaru and Magnus with a really amazing tournament! Finally we have seen what I always felt, that Hikaru and Magnus have very close level in rapid + blitz formats.
While everyone was speaking about tie-breaks I want to notice another problem of very low raitings of some players. For example Gukesh has 2614 in classic and... 2050 in Rapid! Similar things about Mitrabha. Fide should do something, not to allow such a huge raiting differences.
Недавно я просил Вас поддержать проект Народного Фронта «Все для Победы» и сбор для военных 117 стрелкового полка Народной милиции ДНР.
Благодаря Вам собрано более 10 миллионов рублей и Народный фронт уже закупает нужные для бойцов вещи!
Спасибо Вам большое!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Of course I congratulate a World Champion, but just a small remark.
Imagine you have to play a World Championship match against Carlsen. Will you accept help from let's say...Hammer or Tari?
These are photos of the Alley of Angels in Donbass. It is dedicated to 91 children who died from the shells of the Ukrainian army. I invite everyone to come with me there, after the war.
Every time you justify Ukraine, remember these photos.
Today, March 14, 2022, the Ukrainian army shelled the very center of the city of Donetsk. 25 people died, about 19 people got injured. Lying Western Press, why are you silent?
Zelensky is the killer of the children of Donbass!
What a crazy tournament for me it was! I started 1 out of 4 and finished 8/9🤪!
Huge congratulations to to Nodirbek Abdusattorov and Alexandra Kosteniuk!

Дорогие друзья, сегодня мне исполнилось 29 лет!😊 Спасибо вам большое за многолетнюю поддержку🙏! Многое уже сделано, но ещё больше предстоит✊! Всех обнимаю)!

1/2 Knowing that Tata steel chess organisers are taking care of our safety, it was logical in case of negative PCR test to postpone Giri-Dubov game to the rest day. I am sure that Anish would not mind. But like it happened, I understand Daniil’s decision not to play...
1/2 Many people ask if I regret my public support of the special operation? After all, I have already lost invitations to Western tournaments and may lose an invitation to the candidates tournament.
Funny accident today when we had the same position like Shirov against Yu.I am actually confused the moves with g4,forgetting my own game against...Yu! So in the end Shirov followed me,I followed Shirov, Dreev followed Yu, and Yu believed in my preparation!That is how it works🤣!
I tried my best in blitz, but was second at the end. Congrats to Magnus! And a great tournaments for Vishy!
Сделал все что мог, но в итоге второе место. В целом, все заслуженно. Магнуса с победой, а Виши с прекрасно проведенными турнирами!
Друзья, из соседней страны.
Вопрос! Если в Украине нет фашистов, то почему там есть проспект Бандеры?
Он воевал на стороне Гитлера и при его прямом участии было уничтожено 5 тыс украинцев, 15 тысяч евреев и несколько тысяч поляков.
Не верите мне? А ЦРУ поверите?
What was originally a chess portal continues to be cowardly silent. Forgetting that I spent a dozen streams there, where I played with everyone. Chess24 doesn't exist for me anymore.
So, someone on behalf of Chess portal Chess24 writes that I'm kind of lying, and then, after my questions, he (she) ignores me. OK, I'm ready to ignore Chess24. If I don't get answers to at least the second question today, I promise I'll never play on Chess24 again.
@chess24com
Ukraine used a rocket with a cluster charge to strike civilians in Donbass
Cluster munitions are prohibited by the UN Convention
But the UN will not notice anything again
Happy to finally play real chess with real opponents! Thanks to the players and organisers for the great tournament! And congratulations to
@lachesisq
for the first place!
Reasonably satisfied to have scored 6/11. I was trying to take things easy and save some openings for the upcoming World Cup where I will try to qualify for the Candidates tournament.
#SinquefieldCup
I would like to thank the US government and the countries of the European Union for the sanctions against Russia.
Thanks to them, the ruble has strengthened to its maximum values against the euro since 2015 and against the dollar since 2018!
After 4 years, Wesley was ready for Magnus's stunt with a quick draw by white in the last game of the match😀. Brilliant tournament and a very impressive play for Wesley!
Might be not the best birthday mood, but anyway I wish
@MagnusCarlsen
all the best. Happy birthday Champ)!
Congratulations Alexander Grischuk with winning Fide Grand Prix in Hamburg and almost fixing the place in the candidate’s! Duda tried his best and the final match was exciting, but basically Grischuk’s opening preparation was much better and his win was well-deserved!
Dear friends, I was a bit tired after the candidates, but now I am ready to keep twitting;)! We are with family in Nice, resting after the hard tournament in Berlin! Thank you all for supporting me there!And of course my congratulations to
@FabianoCaruana
with a fabulous victory!
Alright, alright. The most viral post of 2022, thank you all for your likes, follows, feedbacks, comments and suggestions. After careful reconsideration we will keep GM
@SergeyKaryakin
as is. You are right he is part of the history. Wish he could learn as quickly as us.

Should I send a video of how nationalists set fire to a building with peaceful protesters?Some of them died immediately, some jumped out of the window and were finished off by the nationalists.Everyone knows the names of the criminals. But the Ukrainian authorities covered them…
It should be 11 or 13 games, where World Champion decides if he wants to have extra white or not, and the player who has more white have to win the match! If it is draw, then player who had more black wins the match. With this format we will not see short draws!
@advorkovich
So many people think that the current World Championship format is unfair because Carlsen is too good in Rapid/Blitz. So how would you change it? There has to be a firm start/end date. It's not possible to have an infinite event. So what would be fair? Propose your suggestion! 😀
Thanks to the
@chess24com
and to the organisers for the great tournament! Bad result for me, but the only thing I can say is that there is just one guy who can motivate me for the good chess! 😀 ♟ ♟ ♟
#ChessChamps
I wonder if people remember who helped to save the World from ISIS terrorists? What would have happened if Russia had not intervened then?
PS this post is not about Ukraine, but about ungrateful people.

@chess24com
4 questions:
1. Do you manage a chess portal?
2. Who runs this nickname? I want to know the Last Name so as not to talk to an anonymous person who hid behind a chess account…
1/2 For many years, fide has existed on Russian money. World cups, World Championship matches, candidates tournaments. Everything was sponsored by Russia. With its decisions, FIDE will worsen the situation of chess players all over the world.
On the territory of Russia, the site chesscom is blocked. All because of the site's policy, which spreads fakes about Russia, and also removes flags from Russian users.
Have you also collected money for the residents of Donbass, whom the Ukrainian army has been bombing for the last 8 years? You can come there and go, for example, to the Alley of Angels, which was built in honor of the children of Donbass who died from the shelling of Ukrainian…

@SergeyKaryakin
we raised over $9,000 today to help Ukraine, partly because I promised some very disappointed chess fans that I would tweet at you directly.
So here is our question: Is $9k enough for a GM norm these days?
Thanks! 😂😂😂
Поздравляю Сашу Костенюк

А вообще, я бы хотел поблагодарить западную общественность, которая нас сплотила.
Если мы берём Твиттер как маленькую модель жизни, то я сразу начал видеть на кого подписаться, от кого отписаться,а кого вообще заблокировать. Люди раскрываются именно в такие сложные времена! Спс)

@hellokostya
And the last. Don't call yourself a professional chess player with a rating of about 2400 at the age of 29. it looks not only silly, but also funny.
Ok, may be I should not have published what random taxi driver told to me, apologies for that. But basically it does not change my opinion witch you can see in the previous post.
