Focus. Brilliance. Raw passion, anger, shock. Elation. Sportsmanship. This moment had it all.

- Words don't feel sufficient. I still don't want to believe it ๐ Thank you so much Danya for our blitz sessions, our late night calls, for sharing the mic with me during commentary, for the laughs, and for teaching me so much. You were always a beacon of light. We all miss you.
- Spotted on the plane: passenger playing chess โ๐ Should I send him a sneaky challenge?
- Starting tomorrow, I will play a match against Magnus Carlsen. 35 games of classical chess. If I draw all 35, I will qualify for the Candidates ๐๐ #OsloMatch #TheRaceBegins #Candidates
- Congrats to Gukesh on winning the Candidates!! What a tournament ๐ I knew he was special ever since our first game. He was just 12 years old (but already a GM! ๐คฏ ) While analysing, both his mature attitude and his calculation skills impressed me hugely. Future world champ? ๐
- Wow. What a finish ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐คฏ Many congrats to our new world champion!! ๐๐ฎ๐ณ Gukesh D is the YOUNGEST WORLD CHAMPION in history! ๐ฅ ๐
- Incredible composure ๐Gukesh's interview after defeating Magnus Carlsen for the first time in the classical format at the @NorwayChess event!
