GM Ivanchuk is streaming on Twitch and he is a real gem 😍 Amazing games and stories from a legend of chess. It's a real shame his viewership is so low, his channel is massively underrated. Please spread the word and subscribe 🙏🏻
For a long time I felt there wasn't enough info on the brilliant but shy and enigmatic Ding Liren. I recommend anyone curious to read this stunning material put together and translated from various articles in Chinese by a dear friend of mine.

The Iron Throne is not meant to be comfortable for a reason. Perhaps the warm paradise you've been enjoying was not the best location for such tournaments.

(1/2) Just a few things that Sagar Shah would guarantee:
-clear, educational and passionate commentary that has already won the minds and hearts of tens of thousands (including
@emilchess
)
-attraction of a huge Indian fanbase sadly neglected by chess24 so far
@SergeyKaryakin
Dubov is higher rated than Esipenko. Also, given that Dubov has a plus score against you and took away your chances at the Russian Championship title last year with an immortal queen sac game, I believe it's inappropriate of you personally to keep raging against his nomination.
@LevAronian
@PHChess
is the only one who mentioned getting the police involved 😂 Also, no one would even consider the hack was fake had PH not started with insane accusations... And he has a track record of accusing random people online of being Anish's fake accounts too. 😄

@chess24com
To pull this off after all the pitying and trolling coming your way is truly inspiring, Anish. It takes a lot more than chess skills to do it. Never forget this day and what you're capable of, even if others surely will!

The players should not be forced to make such choices and then suffer public criticism for their choices. Rules and arbiters are there for a reason, no?

Stop pretending this harassment has to do with concerns over the hacker's allegations and not your personal issues with Anish Giri 🤦🏻♀️ You are the only one doing it and it's unbecoming of you.
@ChessProblem
Fun fact: in this tournament Magnus has the chance to knock out all three opponents who knocked him out in late 2020 tournaments, and even at the same stages he got knocked out - Dubov (QF), MVL(SF) and So(F). ⚔

I suppose it makes up for the time Carlsen lost with duties like press conference, opening ceremony and other formalities while the other players were resting and preparing? 🤔
@anishgiri
That's the spirit 🤣! Congratulations on shared first place, Anish🔥 You outperformed the other Candidates and the World Champion in a convincing way. A title determined the way it was today is as valuable as you decide to make it!

This is outrageous indeed. The donors should know where their money go. I will go even further and say that profiting from a charity stream is quite greasy in itself. If you believe in the cause, help the cause, not yourself.
@anishgiri
Ok, the part with Nepo being weak is not true, but since when do memes need to be true? Congratulations for your amazing play and mental strength in this prestigious super-tournament! 👏👏👏

d) Absolute garbage search engine. Practically unusable unless you know exactly what you're looking for (and even then)
e) Chat is mostly emotes-only
f) Vods automatically get deleted/disappear after a period of time

There have to be better solutions than farming the GOAT himself 💀 I believe
@FIDE_chess
taking a clear stance against farming tournaments NOW would be the best way forward.
@VBkramnik
Sadly, just because someone else does it, it does not absolve us of legal issues.
I believe that cheating is ONLY when an unfair advantage is gained in the game. However, one can argue that using another player's account can mislead opponents on opening prep and playing style.
@anishgiri
It's shown over and over again that classical tournaments are captivating and have a huge positive response from fans. Rapid and blitz formats, especially online ones, are artificially hyped up by players and companies with interests to do so.
Grandfather, a military doctor, playing chess in 1965. I was very proud of his excellent health and sharp intelligence at the age of 92. Played my last game of chess with him a few days before he got infected with Covid. Protect the elderly even if they're vaccinated. RIP 👴🏻❤️
@MagnusCarlsen
You have the heart of a champion and I never doubted you felt this way. On Chesscom right now Russians are competing alongside Ukrainians. It's a pity events, sponsors and trainers linked to you put politics above sportsmanship.

@anishgiri
Legend says one day Utkarsh will write something in YT chat or on Twitter that is not inappropriate, obnoxious or patronizing... 🙏🏻
@chess24com
Karjakin and Shipov made their personal feelings known about Dubov working against the Russian challenger. There will always be some people who think like this. 🤷🏻♀️ I see no blaming Dubov for the loss of the match, nor any serious backlash against him for his choice...
@ChessProblem
To think that last year
@anishgiri
started off the MCI as the underdog, only to win this edition so convincingly, beating both the champion and the player who KO-ed the champion! A year of being MrDodgy has definitely improved his game. 🔥

How would banning chess players who have even spoken against the war help the matters in Ukraine in any way? Irrational hatred and punishment based on nationality instead of views are among the biggest enemies of peace.
