To all the Irish fans who go to The Aviva, to Armenia, to Romania. To those who have saved and sacrificed and suffered on cold wet nights in Dublin, and Yerevan, and Bucharest. This is for you. #COYBIG

Won my Club Championship game last week and won both my Munster League games today! As always a huge thank you to my wonderful coach @mencikdavid for his guidance and his patience! #chess #cheespunks

Not since Obama has an Offaly man made such an impact in America. #RyderCup2025

This #SpoilTheVote25 because of Maria Steen nonsense is a perfect example of misinformed social media mania. She's not on the ballot because she threw her b̶a̶g̶ hat into the ring at the 11th hour! Where's the sympathy for the other 20-odd hopefuls who tried? Utter bollocks! 🙄

As it stands - Tommy Fleetwood - 4 points Team USA - 3.5 points

Absolutely shocking that Fianna Fáil would insist on a Fianna Fáil candidate. What a stitch up. *wipes away tears* #Aras25

In 6 years and 11 months' time, I'm going to start planning for #Aras32 It should leave plenty of time to organise getting my name on the ballot paper. Surely!

Maria Steen was not blocked from running. She just didn't get enough support. That's democracy

Maria Steen has 13 minutes to meet the returning officer. #aras25 Has she tried praying harder for divine intervention?

People complaining about #Áras25 being undemocratic had 7 (SEVEN!) years to campaign for constitutional change for a system that has worked well for nearly 90 years. What has really happened since 2018 is that Covid and fascists buying the Internet has melted people's brains.

It's not anti democratic to not have Maria Steen on the ballot? Everyone is entitled to try but we don't HAVE to have her. It won't make the election a mockery or unfair like. Why are TDs being pressured to make it 'fair'? They should only nominate someone they believe in?

Deadline Day has nothing on this! #Aras25

Catherine Connolly TD now has the support of • Social Democrats • People Before Profit - Solidarity • Labour • Left independents • 100% Redress • Green Party • And as of today Sinn Féin The left are united to provide an alternative & a president for the people!

Generous and momentous support from Sinn Féin for Catherine Connolly. It is difficult to think of a decision in history more galvanising of a united left.

Met a fan on the bus. He asked me if I was Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura or GothamChess. I said, no, I am Anish Giri. He said fine, whatever, and took a selfie anyway. He probably wasn't a real chess fan.

Delighted to beat a 1730 player (I’m 1530) this evening in the last round of the Club Championship. Coach @mencikdavid you put up with a lot of my nonsense but you do a fantastic job so thank you!! All the hard work is paying off! 😀 #chess #chesspunks

I hate Twitter sometimes. I replied with an opinion Susan Polgar blocked me. Her prerogative of course, but did I do something wrong here? Or are we not supposed to have ANY differing opinions now? #chess #chesspunks
