Not sure whether it was charity or the usual choking from Hikaru but Ding somehow manages to get a win in the Norway #Chess in Armageddon with the Black pieces saving the #Goat#Magnus from having to play tie-breakers for the title.
#chess I must say I have to wonder whether Ding Liren was cheating. When has there ever been a world champion not in the top 10? His form rather mysteriously fallen off a cliff. He is playing at about 2500 at the moment. Gukesh can hardly wait.
@nf3xn I don't like your wording and it looks to me like you have no idea what you are talking about. Ding Liren's biggest problem right now is probably not his chess.
@zaunkoenig Pretty arrogant of you to think I care what you think about anything. You've already revealed what you know about it. "How on earth would he cheat in blitz or rapid?" Moron

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.
Join us and our host IM Irene Sukandar for Round 2 of the Sharjah Masters 2024 now on YouTube and Twitch, with Vasyl Ivanchuk taking on Amin Tabatabaei and other exciting pairings!
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
IM Ulviyya Fataliyeva has won the European Women's Chess Championship 2024! A draw in the final round against GM Nino Batsiashvili was enough to secure the title undefeated with 8.5/10. IMs Nataliya Buksa and Lela Javakhishvili finished 2nd and 3rd respectively with 7.5 points on tiebreak criteria.
Big big congratulations to Gukesh D on winning the Candidates #chess tournament 2024. Considering Ding Liren's current form, Gukesh has a real chance of becoming the youngest world chess champion ever when he faces Ding next year.
Candidates is finished but the chess world keeps rolling. European Women's Championship is being played in Greece. The most interesting player is 9 year old Bodhana Sivanandan from England who might be the next Judit Polgar. So far she's played 3 International Masters, winning 1 and getting draws with the other two.
Follow her progress, because she might be the next great thing in chess.
