Fair-play arena, open to any rating, real TON: https://t.co/JsVLbcspaj

[ChessPoint @ChessPoint_]

Anyone can drop TON into a prize pool. The hard part is making sure a 1200 didn't just beat a 2200 with Stockfish open in another tab.

That's the whole product. The prizes are what's left after the cheaters are gone.

@KoridzeLile Our congratulations!

Yesterday we said stop gatekeeping the board. Tomorrow we hand you the board.

ChessPoint NYC — free entry, no rating floor, open to literally anyone. Blitz 3+2, 200 seats, prize pool on the line.

Sunday. Take a seat: https://t.co/JsVLbcspaj

"Get good first" is the most expensive advice in chess.

The 2200 club didn't grow this sport — the 1200s who stayed did, and most quit because nobody gave them a real table.

So we built one. Real tournaments, real prize money, open to literally anyone — no rating floor, no title gate. Your move: https://t.co/mpvIwTEGKW

White to move. Mate in 2.

Two moves to end it. Calculating it is easy. Seeing it is the part most people miss.

Drop your line. No engines.

[ChessPoint @ChessPoint_]

Give a human 30 days per move and a top engine to help, and they still can't beat the engine playing alone.

That's correspondence chess. Unlimited engine assistance, top rating ~2700. Carlsen unaided is ~2830.

The gap isn't speed. We just call it speed because that's easier to accept.

Black to move. Mate in 2.

Fewer pieces, fewer excuses. Find the forced line.

Reply with your moves. No engines.

One Netflix show in 2020 moved more new players into chess than every World Championship since 1972 combined.

US chess set sales jumped 1100% after The Queen's Gambit aired. Sign-ups on lichess and https://t.co/uxgWFTov4o grew several times over.

A fictional orphan did what no living champion could.

If your first instinct is a check, slow down. Look again.

Reply with the line. No engines.

Will Smith says his father taught him chess as a kid — and that the board taught him more than the game ever did.

"Every move you make on the outside is a reflection of what's happening on the inside."

A mirror with rules. Most people never look at their own decisions that closely.

The board's almost empty. That's what makes it hard.

Drop your line in the replies. No engines.

Emanuel Lasker held the World Championship for 27 years — the longest reign in history — and credited one habit.

"When you see a good move, look for a better one."

He treated his first instinct as a hypothesis. Find a second move. Then a third. Then choose.

The first good idea is rarely the best one.

White to move. Mate in 2.

One move forces the king's hand. The next one ends it.

The gap between Magnus Carlsen and the strongest engine today is bigger than the gap between an 1800 club player and Magnus.

Top grandmasters can no longer evaluate top engines. They run the analysis, see the move, and often can't explain why it works.

We stopped understanding the best moves years ago. We just stopped admitting it.

Black to move. Mate in 2.

Most club players find the check. Fewer find the move before it.

A recovering alcoholic who didn't play competitive chess wrote the book that became the biggest chess story of the century.

Walter Tevis built The Queen's Gambit in 1983 by studying GM-annotated games line by line. It sold modestly. He died a year later.

The Netflix adaptation arrived in 2020 — 37 years after he wrote it.

Some books just wait for the world to be ready.
