    I created an “Adult Improver’s Atlas” to visualize exactly where chess players get stuck. Most of you are trapped in the "Quick Fix Swamp" (memorizing traps). 
Or camping on the "Plateau of Pain"(where 90% of adults quit). Where are you on the map right now? 👇

    What did Gukesh do after Caruana resigned? He didn’t jump with joy. He didn’t run to embrace his captain even though his emotions were through the roof. Instead, he calmly set up the pieces on the board. Humility worthy of World Champ 🏆

    I am a Grandmaster. I played near perfect OTB game for 27 moves vs Carlsen in 2017 IOM International. Imagine if I didn’t make a mistake and won the game, only to get accused of cheating by the World Champ… How can one player ruin the reputation for life of any GM?

    Naroditsky: let me show you, here’s my 2nd monitor with Chessbase and engine Kramnik: No, no, you’re looking at the 3rd monitor… Naroditsky: let me show you my setup and address every false accusation Kramnik: No, no, that’s not the point. I still have questions…

    People don’t understand how talented Wesley So really is. He had no formal chess training, no resources and no support growing up in the Philippines. And he has no ego, which is just as important. 👑♟👑

    Magnus basically accused Hans of cheating in their game. Carlsen lost and withdrew. The evidence: Hans wasn’t tense in critical moments of the game. This is the OFFICIAL statement from the World Champ?

    Let’s assume Hans Niemann is the most sophisticated cheater ever…cheating in OTB games that escape detection by prof. Regan. However, when he cheats online he just opens another browser window according to chesscom? Lol, that doesn’t sound very sophisticated to me!

    Who wants to see a World Chess Championship match between a Norwegian 🇳🇴 poker dude Magnus and an American 🇺🇸 streamer called Hikaru?

    Magnus will not remain the king for long. Watch out, Erigasi comes out storming through 2800 barrier!
