Looking back, I never could've imagined that 14 years after winning the Asian Continental Championship in 2010, I would be fortunate enough to be here with another gold medal but this time from the American Continental Championship! So grateful!
@GMHikaru 🙏

Most of the time "I literally don't care," but this time I definitely do and I'm extremely proud of my wife for winning the Continental Championship and qualifying for the FIDE Womens World Cup! Congrats @AtousaChess

Who came up with the format for the Blitz World Championship in NYC?
In the final round of the tournament, the top four boards agreed to draws after just a few seconds. Every chess player I spoke to expressed dissatisfaction with this format. Hopefully, Fide will reconsider it!

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

I just heard that some people are creating rumors and starting drama.
I am not Armenian. I am Iranian, and like many other Iranian surnames, mine ends with iyan which is very common in Iran.
Please respect each other and do not spread fake news.
Thank you!

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 🤩

Huge congratulations to @carissayipchess for winning the US Championships, Although I had a heartbreaking finish in our game but she showed better nerves throughout the tournament and deserved to be a champion. Another big congratulations to @Gulruhbegim she is truly a fighter!

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!

17 year old Bardia Daneshvar eliminated the former world blitz champion Alexander Grischuk after 11 exciting games in #WorldCup2023, Grischuk was ahead in most of the match but Daneshvar showed that fearless persistency can win!
Wow what a match!

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.

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? 🤓

Is it normal to spend more than 3 hours to book a flight? I think when you have more options it just becomes more confusing, any thoughts? 🤔

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!

While was shopping in Isle Of Man, I saw a T.K Max Store, So I was wondering if it is related to T.J Max in the US? 🤔

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? ♟ 🌳 🧳 ??
