- Congratulations to India for organizing one of the best #ChessOlympiad in history! It’s even more impressive with just months of preparation! India finished as #1 chess nation (best combined results), with 2 team bronze, as well as 2 individual gold/1 silver/4 bronze! @FIDE_chess
- India team spirit! Celebration time! Olympiad Champions! 🇮🇳🥇🏆🥇🏆🇮🇳 #BudapestOlympiad #FIDE100 @FIDE_chess @aicfchess @WOMChess
00:00 - Are there leaders of nations who tweet about their chess players? I only know of one other, Javier Milei, tweeting about Faustino Oro. @FIDE_chess @ECUonline @ChessbaseIndiaAn exceptional achievement by Gukesh! Congratulations to him for triumphing over the very best. His first-ever win against Magnus Carlsen in Round 6 of Norway Chess 2025 showcases his brilliance and dedication. Wishing him continued success in the journey ahead. @DGukesh
- I am so happy for 🇮🇳 Gukesh 🇮🇳! Some have doubted his worthiness as a World Champion, and believed that he was just a lucky winner against an off form Ding Liren. I read a lot of criticism from doubters. In this tournament in Croatia, he started off with a loss against Duda. He
- Carlsen outplayed Gukesh, made massive blunder to lose a winning game! This is the biggest shock of the year! Carlsen rarely loses in classical chess, and he rarely commits big blunders. He was playing so well with the black pieces in round 6 in Norway against Gukesh. He had a
- A few years ago, I received this from 🇮🇳 Prime Minister Modi for my work with Indian students and support for Indian players. His office contacted me directly for my address so they can express his letter. I did not ask for it but appreciated his gesture. It is nice that he (even
- Win with grace, lose with dignity! One won with grace, the other lost with dignity! Class all the way by these two champions! Gukesh has the potential to be the best Chess Ambassador ever! Professional, mature, humble, classy, charismatic, well spoken, and well mannered!
- 🇮🇳 Gukesh 🇮🇳 is a DESERVING World Classical Champion, period! He went through the FIDE Candidates as an 18 year old, the youngest in the tournament, and came out ahead of big stars Caruana, Nakamura, Nepo, Firouzja, and Pragg, etc. It was not his fault that Magnus Carlsen walked
- Congratulations to GM Praggnanandhaa 🇮🇳 for reaching the 2023 World Cup final to face Magnus! He defeated world #2 Fabiano in the playoff to earn the coveted spot! He also defeated world #3 Hikaru earlier! By making the final, he also automatically qualified for the Candidates
- It's never about the money with this team/company. Ever since I've met them, I can clearly see their love for chess, and pride for their country. Many do things for money, and only a few because of passion! Congratulations @ChessbaseIndia! Your whole team truly rock! 👏
00:00 - It really makes me sick and disgusted 🤬 reading some of the (racist and sexist, etc.) online comments from mostly guys about this young and sweet 9 year old chess star, Bodhana Sivanandan. Instead of celebrating the incredible achievement of making the Olympiad team at age 9,
- 🇮🇳 Gukesh 🇮🇳 convincingly wins SuperUnited Rapid in Croatia! After losing the first game against Duda, he scored 6 wins and 2 draws in the final 8 games (approximately 2950 performance overall) to outdistance the rest of the field! Very impressive for a "bottom feeder"! 👏 I
