9 years ago I left the world rapid and blitz in Doha with two near misses and some viral rage moments. This year I hope to improve on the former, but regardless I promise to deliver on the latter.
Also, I’ll be grinding the gym to fit into tighter jeans than last time.
@TomCruise The way Iñárritu speaks of Cruise’s performance in the movie they just made together, “He was meticulously choreographed, yet felt completely improvised—structured like clockwork, but flowing like jazz.”
Ohhhh he’s coming for it next year
I am heartbroken by Danya’s passing. We both grew up in the Bay Area, and I looked up to him from a young age. I vividly remember our first blitz games when I was nine, he was kind and generous with his advice afterward. Years later, I ran into him on a flight home from the Reykjavik Open. I nervously approached him, but his warmth and willingness to talk immediately put me at ease. As my chess career continued, we played countless blitz games, and I credit a large part of my improvement to those battles. Danya’s kindness, wisdom, and love for the game left a lasting mark on me. I offer my sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones. We will all miss you dearly.
You can put on a show without being disrespectful. You can have rivalries without hate or anger. You can have fun and embrace “new” without that meaning you’re attacking “old” (or anyone!).
If you are outraged, that’s about you. Not about what happened or the people involved.
