@ihadanny @ImShahinyan It can be worked out that Black’s last move was …g7-g5. The couldn’t be on g6 as the White king would been in check. The black h-pawn and king couldn’t have moved.

@peterdoggers Very impressive! Congratulations!

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@davidllada @capakhine That book is a masterpiece! Enjoy!

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@davidllada I completely agree. A long time ago, I reached out to him with some questions, and he answered everything. I’m very happy for his success.

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@AMKazarian Congratulations! Very happy for you.

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@GMJacobAagaard I think you’re in safe territory now.

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@davidllada Amazing. I love the story and the photo.

@PHChess @GRENKEChess While I am not a great fan of Freestyle Chess as such, perhaps because I haven’t invested much time in its intricacies yet, it is hard to argue that the games usually become fascinating struggles with lots of unusual tactical, and even positional, themes,like studies & problems.

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@Rameshchess Well done and congratulations.

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

I thoroughly enjoyed the first round of the #FIDECandidates. Caruana’s win against Nakamura was a strategic masterpiece, demonstrating the lethal combination of opposite colored bishops and the initiative. Even if he had a bad miss near the very end.

@CLTchesscenter @pemerhati_bot @atwell_rose Congratulations to @atwell_rose! It is well deserved!

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@DavidHowellGM I don’t whether to laugh or cry. I hope it’s a joke that I don’t get, if not, I hope you’re happy.

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@davidllada @leontxogarcia I would love to read his memoir.

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

Always a great time being on the Perpetual Chess Podcast (honestly I didn’t expected this recorded on camera, thus my make up was imperfect), and talking about great books is just a joy, being able to recommend books that are available everywhere is even better.

@TarjeiJS When I saw the notification, I was thinking this better be the Polgar Documentary and not the Melania one…

[Carsten Hansen @CazHansen]

@ChessProblem I’d rather not see it but then you should have nine 2600-rated opponents who would be okay with it.
