Bob Dylan, The Avid Chess Player, Has Also Made Nobel Prize-Winning Music
Bob Dylan, born on this date (May 24) in 1941, is well known for his impact on pop culture. His music and lyrics have had profound political, social, philosophical, and literary influences during a career that has spanned more than 60 years. Often overlooked is what an avid chess player he has been.

I did the first #chess board render with my #RustLang chess engine :o I'm really happy with how it turned out. And it also shows that the white kingside castling worked xD (Assets from itch.io)
Almost a year since I started playing and I've finally hit 600 #ELO.
I've seen some IMs say that the 'hell wall' in #chess is around 600, and my play is highly volatile depending on how tired/well/hungover I am, so I'm not expecting to get much better quickly.
I'm not sure what to aim for next. Double my rating in the next year? Hit 1,000 by end of the year? Maybe six months? Something like that.
Bloody hell. A chess scandal film with Emma Stone attached. 😳
Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder Reteam with A24 for Ben Mezrich’s Carlsen-Niemann Chess Scandal Story (Exclusive)
The indie upstart seems to have outwitted streamers and studios to win 'Checkmate' with a seven-figure deal that left competitors' head-spinning.
Hehe. Pojawiły się nagrania z prób do #Eurovision2024 i widać, tam też naszą reprezentantkę Lunę z piosenką "The tower". Widać też, że tańczy z kimś, kto strojem przypomina Saurona, ale chyba ma być hetmanem szachowym, zwłaszcza, że w tle są wieże szachowe. Bo wiecie - "wieża" = "tower".
Problem tylko, że w szachach "wieża" to "rook". Jeśli faktycznie taki był zamysł naszej ekipy, to gratuluję xD
@SceNtriC w ogóle nie jestem szachistą, gram raz na ruski rok, więc tego nigdy nie zgłębiałem, ale właśnie widzę, że na wiki (en) w artykułach dla poszczególnych "chess pieces" są całe tabelki z nazwami figur w różnych językach - bardzo ciekawe! :) @szachy
I've just entered the Tasmanian Open Chess Championship which will be held in Somerset in 2 weeks.
I would have liked to enter the Asian Senior Chess Championship which will be held in Mongolia as I've never been there. But, alas, that will not be happening.
