3) What preceded the Big Bang?

4) What does the Refrigerator Light do after you close the door?

Excellent idea, but can we have one of Bent Larsen in Denmark too please?

I started Schacknytt in 1970 and I was its editor for twenty years. The magazine reached new heights when Bent Larsen was involved in 1974. He wrote about one hundred articles for Schacknytt. Kortchnoi subscribed. I still have one of his checks as a souvenir.

[Magnus Carlsen @MagnusCarlsen]

Triple crown again, hope this one will last more than a couple of days!

[Jonathan Tisdall gmjtis@thatnewblueplace @GMjtis]

The really big debate in my eyes is whether 2019 Magnus is better than Magnus' favorite player, 2014-2015 Magnus...

[Tarjei J. Svensen @TarjeiJS]

BREAKING: @MagnusCarlsen is the World Blitz Champion 2019 by beating Hikaru Nakamura 1,5-0,5 in playoff, taking the title for a record 3rd time in a row. Carlsen is now the reigning World Champion in classical, rapid & blitz for the second time since 2014. #rapidchess #nrksjakk

The Russian Chess Federation will have no interest in granting MVL the Wildcard.
Offer them a Karjakin-MVL match, with the winner playing Alekseenko for the Wildcard, that might tempt them!

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave or Kirill Alekseenko to qualify for the Candidates?
Nepomniachtchi vs Wei decides!

China or USA wins Olympic gold?
Panama vs Bangladesh decides!

China or Russia wins female Olympic gold?
Monaco vs Mexico decides!

@FIDE_chess, we need to change this!
