Pointing at the clock to make the opponent aware that he overstepped the time limit, while there is still a second on the clock. #fideworldcup2025 #chess

Running out of time, because your Rook just runs away from you! 😣 #chess #fideworldcup2025

That’s some skill. Magnus Carlsen resigns by toppling his King. Not by hand, but by fist. ♟️#NorwayChess #Chess

@HansMokeNiemann Bobby Fischer is the only player of our era, whom still will be talked about in one hundred thousand years from now. He was a true legend.

@SusanPolgar @websteru Thanks for sharing that lovely story, Susan. ❤️

Chess is a cruel game. Ding strikes back in game 12. #GukeshDing #chessworldchampionship

[Rick from ‘Chess to Impress’ @Gold_Chess]

Gukesh’s reaction to Ding’s blunder in game 11. Have never witnessed a head-pump like this at the highest level. #Chess #Fide

Remarkable that Ding has 10 coffee mugs in his restroom. He’s the only one using the room. ☕️ #FIDEWorldChess2024 #Chess

Surprised that nobody put the pieces in the centre of the squares for Game 1 of the World Championship match Gukesh-Ding. Especially pawn f7 looks out of sorts. ♟️#Chess #Fide

[Rick from ‘Chess to Impress’ @Gold_Chess]

Very confused by this Fischer-random starting position. Three Rooks each? #Chess

@nr147 @markwil147 I expected you to be a left handed golf player.

[Rick from ‘Chess to Impress’ @Gold_Chess]

@EllenRabiner I agree with you. I posted this clip directly after the game, oblivious to what subsequently happened.

If you’ve never ripped up your scoresheet like this, you’re not a real chess player.

Great to see the 13th World Champion, Garry Kasparov, back in action at the chessboard in the St Louis Fischer-random event. He still has his famous ‘Kasparov-stare’. 👀 #Chess

@SusanPolgar @carissayipchess @FIDE_chess @USChessChamps I’m sure Bobby is looking down on Carissa and pulling for her to keep this amazing streak going. ♟️

[Rick from ‘Chess to Impress’ @Gold_Chess]

@SanjayKuma53652 @SusanPolgar That is because I posted the message straight after the game had finished. I was oblivious to any assault.

[Rick from ‘Chess to Impress’ @Gold_Chess]

@SusanPolgar I have done this twice to my scoresheet (but not while still at the board), but obviously never assaulted anyone.
I posted this message straight after the game had finished, I didn’t know about the assault at the time.

@thijszonneveld Joepie. Eindelijk weer een schaak metafoor. 😀♟️

[Rick from ‘Chess to Impress’ @Gold_Chess]

@thijszonneveld Jammer. Ik zat op het puntje van mijn stoel toen de treintjes zich vooraan meldden.
