@elonmusk This finally gave me the motivation I needed to uninstall this app for good. Thanks, Elon!

@chess24com This kid is absurd 💀

[J. Morefield @Chessically]

@thechessnerd I'm probably missing something obvious, but isn't ...g5, threatening ...Qg2, a much easier win to spot?

(I am cis.)
"Cis" is not a slur. You are either cisgender or transgender - the union of those two sets includes every human alive. The secondary definition for "cisgender" is literally "not transgender". Is Elon threatening suspension for...accusing someone of not being trans?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@JamesEsses Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.

The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.

Almost all LGBTQ+ titled players are in the closet because FIDE holds most major competitions in LGBTphobic dictatorships.
Young queer chess players have no role models.
I have received thousands of insults and threats.

So every little step counts. Thank you Lichess. 🏳️‍🌈

[Jennifer Shahade @JenShahade]

After looking at the troll comments to the @lichess post, I was so disappointed.

This is a signal that we must to do more to show our support for the LGBTQ+ community in #chess.

Happy #PrideMonth

Happy #Pride month! Lichess is for everyone, chess is for everyone! 🏳️‍🌈

huge news

[J. Morefield @Chessically]

@boldmovebydan @USChess Feels familiar... Back in 2017, my post-event rating from a tournament was 2203, above 2200 for the first time, so I got the NM title. Within a week, they retroactively changed it to 2197 - thankfully I still kept the title!

[J. Morefield @Chessically]

Just finished my last game of the Cherry Blossom Classic! Final score 5.5/9, including games against 1 GM, 6 IMs, and 2 NMs (I beat the GM). I didn't play down until round 8, lol. Gaining roughly 60 FIDE rating points from this. It's good to be back 💪

Alireza Firouzja says Hikaru Nakamura's facial expressions are at times an attempt to trick opponents, but... "In general I like to look at him, because it's funny!"

So yours was
the only masked face
at the office
and in the store
on the subway
and in the waiting room
at least now you know the answer
to your teacher’s question
of if you would be willing
to do the right thing
even if you
were the only one doing it.

If a doctor is unwilling to provide care to patients that they don't agree with, they're in the wrong profession. Any ethical, moral, or religious beliefs stating that some people "deserve to die" do not deserve legal representation. This will only cause pain.

Take it from someone who has actually accomplished something in chess - I have seen this method of parenting over and over again, and it leads to a dead end. If you're lucky, your child will grow up to hate chess. If you're not, they will grow up to hate you.

“Excuses don’t affect the outcome.

So excuses can’t affect your performance.”

I was too young to understand and upset.

When we got home, I complained to Mom that Dad was yelling at me for losing.

She said he was too hard on me.

[J. Morefield @Chessically]

@SpiralBiscuit I saw that recently as well! It was quite the experience.
