Ayo para influencers dan orang2 kaya di Indonesia. Monggo lho atlet2 paralimpiade kita dikasih bonus dan hadiah yg bertubi-tubi seperti yg kemarin2. .
Kemarin, Leani Ratri Oktila menyumbang medali emas untuk Indonesia dari bulutangkis ganda putri di @paralympics Tokyo. Hari ini, medali emas ia raih dari ganda campuran bersama Hary Susanto, dan medali perak di tunggal putri. Selamat kepada Leani Ratri Oktila dan Hary Susanto.

I keep running into this duo during my walk! Despite having to face each other tomorrow in the quarterfinal of the #FIDEWorldCup, they still walk together this evening. What a friendship! 🤝

Peringkat 9 besar dunia di Kejuaraan Dunia Catur Cepat di Kota New York, Amerika Serikat!. Walaupun hanya berlangsung kurang dari seminggu, tanpa sponsor, praktis ini menjadi salah satu turnamen termahal yang saya ikuti. Semoga kesejahteraan atlet-atlet Indonesia bisa lebih baik

I love it when celebrities pick up chess, it's a very good promotion for our game. But unfortunately, we often see the board is not set up correctly. Quick tip: corner right should be a light square regardless which side you're playing on.

Came into the tournament with little expectation, but by the final round, I was tied for the lead. A shot at World Champion felt surreal! A huge congratulations to the deserving winner, Humpy Koneru, an inspiration to us all!. 📸 Michal Walusza

And they still walk together after their first game! I asked about their game and Praggu then explained that he allowed Arjun's knight sacrifice on g3 but kinda missed the Qb6 idea after 36. d3. Both of them were in time trouble so things were tricky.

Dear all,we'd like to announce that both Medina and I have decided to withdraw from the World Cup.We are naturally very motivated to keep competing but the safety of all the participants,organisers,arbiters and every one around us is far more important than our personal interest.

What an epic match between @rpragchess and @ArjunErigaisi 👏👏👏 . I might still walk later as usual, but watching and commentating their games were very stressful so I need a little break before doing that.

It was one of the most enjoyable Olympiads ever and I’m so grateful to be a part of it! I’d like to thank @aicfchess and @FIDE_chess for organising and making the event possible! Also, big shoutout to all the volunteers and polices of @chennaichess22 for their immense help 🙏

@AncientKutai @corbuzier I am aware of the risk and I have been receiving hate messages too, but speaking up the truth is of greater importance imo.

Yo @chesscom , ever thought of alternating the schedule for Titled Tuesdays to be Asian-timezone friendly? At least once in every 4 Tuesdays might do it.

On this Valentine’s Day, I want to share you my love story. We have been together for many years. There were many ups and downs, but the good always outweighs the bad, maybe that’s why we keep putting up with each other. No words can truly describe how much I love you, Chess ❤️

I hope @FIDE_chess will soon confirm and announce the country host of the 2022 World Rapid and Blitz to avoid logistical problems for the players. Applying for the right visa and booking the flight tickets in the last minute had always been unpleasant issues.

Wow, that's great @ArjunErigaisi! Though I have casually beaten him and @NihalSarin a few times in Spain a couple of weeks ago. Calm down, I'm humblebragging my foosball victories, not chess 🤣.

I've taken no less than 4 PCR tests since I landed in Russia on July 5, the last one being yesterday at 4pm, the same day as my compatriot who was forced to forfeit the game today. Needless to say, all tests were negative but apparently I have to take another one tomorrow.
