@JanHBuettner The 1M registered chess players are not the customers of the federations

They are their owners

Owners should share in the success they help create

20% of all revenues generated by FIDE and federations (excluding prize) will be distributed annually to all registered member!

@CampiMinati C'è una differenza. Fiume e Zara sono riconosciute come NON italiane dal diritto internazionale, ma Croate.

Le isole Flaskland invece non sono argentine ma NON sono nemmeno inglesi, per il diritto internazionale.

@PHChess @GajuChess If there were a World Drunk Chess Championship, Carlsen would win *every* game. He knows exactly where to place the pieces without even needing to think 😁

@SergioBardari @aanthl @carlo_castaldi @tancredipalmeri Italia tifava contro Maradona ma dopo la Semifinale divento' praticamente odio.

Ti dico solo che durante la partita (ero allo stadio) i tifosi tedeschi seduti vicino a me mi guardarono come a dire ma questo perché tifa per la Germania piu di noi! 😂

[Megalovic @Megalovic]

@andreacipolat @tancredipalmeri Esatto. Rigore OK oggi che li danno pure gli starnuti ma all'epoca era generosissimo.

[Megalovic @Megalovic]

@tancredipalmeri Rigore generosissimo dai. Soprattutto per il metro dell'epoca (davano la metà dei rigori che si danno oggi). Tra l'altro ero allo stadio e si vide subito che fu generoso. Poi io da italiano dopo Italia-Argentina a Napoli ovviamente tifavo contro Argentina quindi esultai

@VBkramnik @_Valprozwan_ about this?

[Megalovic @Megalovic]

@PHChess Russian journalists are sloppy and imprecise, just as journalists everywhere have become. That is probably the reason.

@_Valprozwan_ its on something else

@TarjeiJS The only all-time legend who did better than anyone was Simen Agdestein (Grandmaster and Norwegian international in the '80s), but he belongs to the past.

"Upon his return to Cuba, Ortega shared the incredible story with the very strong Swedish Grandmaster Ulf Andersson, who ironically commented: 'You played in Tal's room, with Tal's pieces, and against Tal... definitely too much for you! 5/end

[Megalovic @Megalovic]

I don't get why everyone keeps bringing up Tony Miles when there is a much more similar and iconic precedent! I'm talking about Lexy Ortega vs. Mikhail Tal, played in 1986 during the Petrosian Memorial in Yerevan, Soviet Unio #Tal #Grandchesstour #firouzja #chesshistory 1/n

[Grand Chess Tour @GrandChessTour]

From Tony Miles to Alireza Firouzja - the fighting spirit lives on! No matter the circumstances, the game goes on! ♟️

The pieces were unusual and non-standard, and even the chess clock tended to jam. The result: Despite his precarious physical conditions and the bizarre environment, Tal's genius remained untouched. Mikhail Tal won the game in 27 moves playing with the black pieces. 4/n

@mahajanrohan99 @mikhail_golubev Candidates 1959 (8 players 4RR), Tal had 8 wins after 14 rounds, finishing with 16 wins in 28 games

[Megalovic @Megalovic]

@chesseverapp He isn't the most underrated Champion—he’s the most distant in time

[Megalovic @Megalovic]

@Sir_di_Corinto @Eurosport_IT Perché vince le partite, easy. Poi perde quelle che contano ma questo è un altro discorso

[Megalovic @Megalovic]

@GMJacobAagaard Tal had 8 wins in the first 14 rounds of the 1959 Candidates (8 players, quadruple round-robin), finishing with 16 wins
