    Nice tribute by Magnus Carlsen to @Kasparov63, not only to the chess-player, but also to the political activist! #GOATS

    Victory is a State of Mind. @Cristiano and #LionelMessi captured by @annieleibovitz for @LouisVuitton. In addition to a long tradition of crafting trunks for the world’s most coveted sporting trophies, the Maison celebrates two of the most talented football players today.

    Russia´s 🇷🇺 chess elite in Amsterdam, at an event sponsored by Solovyov's long term business partner. Ukraines🇺🇦 Igor Kovalenko, ranked 65. in the world, playing an online event from his tablet in a trench at the frontline. These are the realities right now. It is wrong.

    Dear @FIDE_chess Karjakin is posting videos from Avdiivka, proudly bragging of Russia🇷🇺 destroying an Ukrainian🇺🇦 city. Why is Karjakin not banned by FIDE? It is as hardcore war-propaganda as it gets. Is it due to political pressure from the Kremlin?

    The chess olympiad and the FIDE elections has to be relocated away from Moscow later this year. The chess world has to show unity and solidarity with Ukraine.

    The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.

    Elite-Chess should do the same as Baseball and apparently Golf: When you take an opponents piece, throw it to the spectators area for a souvenir.

    9 hour Chigaco-Helsinki flight. The person sitting next to me asks: What did you do in the US? Me: "chess-coaching". Him: "Really? What do you think of the recent chess-drama then?"

    On a personal note, I feel almost relieved that after years of holding back, and softening my criticism of FIDE and its leadership, I can now finally speak my mind.

    This I think is just flat out wrong. Arbiters should have video access to players rest and eating area, but not online viewers. Give the players a break. Enjoy their chess moves, but dont make a WC match into a reality show. Believe in the core product. Chess.

    While the World Championship keeps you on edge, the players are enjoying their rest day. As David Howell said in Game 12, "He's tast-Ding those nuts and chilling out right now"—why not do the same? 😎 #DingGukesh
