Having to remember all the rules: dress a certain way so people don’t comment about you, make chess content that is 100% serious, don’t talk about chess unless you’re a gm, always act as a representative for every woman in chess, don’t make jokes, is frankly exhausting and a lot.
what message does it send to young girls and women when a meme like this is endorsed by @itsandreabotez ? shame on @chesscom @imjenyu @akaNemsko @alexandrabotez @julesgambit and everyone participating in this "chess babe" schtick.

Since this kind of blew up, consider donating to the women in chess fundraiser. They do a lot of good work, like sponsoring promising young female chess players and offering training❤️ This is an organization I wish was around when I was a kid playing:) .

Did you know who the computers think is the strongest chess player of all time?. While it’s no surprise that Magnus and Kasparov took first and second, the real shocker was the man in third: Fischer. Why this is so crazy is due to how this was judged: the more engine moves

“I just had the commentary open” I love Andrea Botez don’t get me wrong but there’s no way my girl was saying 25 engine moves in a row.
really sad how taking accountability seems to be so difficult for people nowadays @DrLupo . chess players know what you did, it's obvious that you did the same thing in your other game against wolfey too. have some respect for the chess community and apologize properly.

Former World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand singing Roxanne wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card but it’s a welcome addition.
When I was very young, songs like "Every Breath You Take" and "Roxanne" by The Police made a huge impression on me. Fast forward to now, and I can say I know most of their songs and Sting's solo albums as well. They've been a constant on my playlist over the years.

I spend about 4-6 hours a day on chess. I keep getting asked about my routine so here’s what I do:. -Endgame studies. Not really puzzles so it really forces the calculation. -Puzzles ( either easier ones or if they’re complicated I set it up with a board). - Work from a book.

Did the 17 year old chess grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju predict his own future? . In an old interview, the then 11 year old answered the question, “What do you want to do when you grow up?”. “I want to become the youngest world champion,” he said. Now, his dream may come true.

Ivanchuk is the exception to “never meet your heroes” at Formentera he regularly played blitz, solved puzzles, and analyzed games with whoever who asked, no matter their rating. Not only a chess legend but an extremely kind and genuine individual. You can tell he loves chess and.
Spent 5 hours analysing games alongside the legendary Grandmaster Ivanchuk, reveals his unmatched depth of insight and unparalleled creativity in the realm of chess. ♟️ 😇. @PravahaNGO @WacaChess @mgd1_esports @AAI_Official . #chess #chesscom #chessgame #VantikaAgarwal #sports
