Impresionante esta declaración de Scaloni en 2019. El baño de humildad que necesitábamos para convertirnos en potencia mundial y lograr todo lo que se logró hasta acá.
♟️ Faustino Oro: “Venía buscando este título hace un montón”

Sabias como murió esta joven?
Lidia Kornblihtt murió en 1977, en plena dictadura militar.
En un acto de terrorismo y maldad pura, ella se disponía a colocar una bomba en la comisaría de Monte Chingolo. Mientras lo hacía el artefacto explotó prematuramente y le causó su propia muerte
Su familia cobró una millonaria indemnización y pusieron su nombre en el parque de la memoria.
Terroristas presos en Argentina: 0
Militares: 965
🤝Sin apretón de manos🤝
Ucrania🇺🇦-🇷🇺Rusia sobre el tablero
Anna Muzychuk (quien clasificó porque Humpy Koneru decidió bajarse del torneo) venció con blancas a Kateryna Lagno, pero ninguna demostró una actitud deportiva antes ni después de la partida.
¿Estuvieron bien? 💬

Este boceto es de Judit Polgár cuando era pequeña. La mejor jugadora de la historia. Única mujer en figurar entre los 10 primeros ajedrecistas mundiales y la única en derrotar a once campeones mundiales y al número uno del mundo, Kaspárov. Judit, va por ti. ❤️
Sanguinetti hablando claro sobre la vejez y qué razón tiene, eh.
No romantiza laburar toda la vida, intenta explicar que la actividad cerebral es fundamental para sentirse activos.
Escúchenlo y coméntenme qué piensan.
RIP to the great Dutch Grandmaster Jan Timman. He was the leader of the new Western generation after Fischer. Unlike many, he was a serious analyst and researcher who loved every aspect of the game, including compositions. He was at his powerful peak through the 1980s to 1993, when he lost matches to his peer Karpov and Nigel Short of the new generation. We dueled many times, including his victory in my "heaviest" game ever, where our moves were mirrored by machines moving huge shipping containers as pieces in Rotterdam! We also argued many times, as he also cared deeply about the future of our beloved game. He was my first opponent after I became world champion in 1985, pictured here in Hilversum, NED, before game 5 of our match on Dec 20, I believe.
I vividly remember this occasion... It was 30 years ago.
He interviewed me for a series for a Dutch TV channel. You can see in the picture the opening of a game I won against Wolfgang Uhlmann, sacrificing 2 pawns for a huge attack on the kingside. We analysed this game together during the interview that he picked himself. Do you know why this one? Because it was the moment when he realised that I am... a special player, he said in the interview. His statement gave me a lot and encouraged me.🙏
Many years later, in 2020, we changed the roles, and I conducted an interview with him (you can watch it in the BIO). I respected his chess, his artistic vision of chess as a practical player and as a chess composer, and respected his character.
Rest In Peace, Jan Timman 🕯️

Dutch legend Jan "the best of the West" Timman just passed away at age 74. 😢 I drew him with black in our memorable encounter on LIVE German TV show Schach der Großmeister (WDR), with onsite commentary by legendary GM Hort and GM Pfleger. He was always kind and friendly to me and very well loved and respected by the chess community worldwide.
His peak was #2 in the world in 1982 behind Karpov. In the 1980s he won a number of very strong tournaments, including Amsterdam IBM in 1981, Wijk aan Zee in 1981 and 1985, Linares in 1988, Euwe Memorial in 1989, and the 1989 World Cup tournament in Rotterdam, etc.
Other major successes included Las Palmas 1981, Mar del Plata 1982, Bugojno 1984, and Sarajevo 1984. He qualified for the Candidates Matches several times. In 1993, he lost the FIDE World Championship match to Karpov by the score of 12.5-8.5 in 1993.
In the 2nd Immopar Rapid Tournament in 1991, a knock-out format event, he defeated Gata Kamsky 1½–½, Anatoly Karpov 2–0, Viswanathan Anand 1½–½, and finally Garry Kasparov 1½–½ to win the first prize of approximately 75,000 USD. His performance was equivalent to an Elo rating of 2950. (Source: Wikipedia)
In addition to a magnificent playing career, he was also a respected chess author. RIP my friend! You will be missed! 🕊

An opinion: @Kasparov63 on Russia’s imminent fall; Europe moving in the right direction at a turtle speed and censorship for the sake of diplomacy.
🎥 interview 🧵1/2
1. “You don’t negotiate with cancer.”
Queen of Chess featuring my sister Judit will be out on @netflix tomorrow (February 6)! https://t.co/Ut9UWFyx46
I am especially grateful—and deeply moved—that my “baby sister” finally receives the recognition she so profoundly deserves. My pride in Judit goes far beyond sisterhood. I watched her grow, struggle, and persevere. I spent countless hours teaching her the ropes of our sport and of life, and seeing her achievements honored so beautifully filled me with emotion.
Watching the old footage from the golden era of “Polgaria” was truly heartwarming. Those were extraordinary times, when the three of us stood side by side and conquered Chess Olympiads and major events around the world. Some of the archival material surprised even me—I was seeing pieces of our own past for the first time, and it brought back memories I didn’t realize I still carried so vividly.
