AI is racing ahead. Regulation is still tying its laces.
Grateful to Priyanka @Kubernein for nudging me to co-author this piece: Can countries like India shape the rules—or just follow them?

A proxy conversation between a non-playing, thought leader and the players, during a high stakes chess battle is unacceptable.@MagnusCarlsen comments on Game 3 could come up at the next PC. Either organizers need to address it, or he needs to do the right thing. @ChessbaseIndia

🇮🇳 Gukesh D regarding his Game 1 loss: “I think it’s also understandable since it was my first game at the World Championship. I was a bit nervous. It’s a new setting for me.
For example, even Magnus. In his first World Championship, he wasn’t at his best at the start. I think it is a very normal reaction, and I was okay with that. It was a bad game, but I was generally feeling good. I thought even though I was nervous, it wasn’t too much to handle. I felt good; it was a bad game, but I always knew once I settle in, I will get back my rhythm.” #DingGukesh

Hi @marisagerards My kit has arrived, but I may not be able to represent the India Team at Racketlon World Championships in Rotterdam this week, as visa application #NLD/MHL/100724/0001/01 (& passport) has been stuck since Jul 10. No updates on the same. Please help @NLinIndia.

@vishy64theking @DGukesh @WacaChess So glad I stayed up!! Incredible round and solid win for @DGukesh. @WacaChess should be very proud of playing a pivotal role in mentoring a resurgent Indian chess contingent.

@FIFAWorldCup The entire move showed a team in flow. Just incredible!!

@sameer_gogate @justvoot @BBCStudiosIndia @deepali_handa @IN_SauravTiwari Big congrats to the @justvoot & @BBCStudiosIndia teams for pulling this off, kudos to the rocking cast and crew who came together to make it happen, and much love to the fans who have been the driving force behind the show!!

[Gourav Rakshit @GOURAVGR]

@FIFAWorldCup Not much in it. If Morocco can keep the attack up, they're going to get many more chances. Need a bit of luck to put it past Lloris - the primary line of French defence.
