I share my own opinions on life and chess

[Dr Charlie Ward @DrcharlieWardQ]

BREAKING 🚨: This seems like a win/win for the United States and for Ukraine.

I would applaud Trump if he takes Zelensky up on his offer.

"My answer was to Trump. Take 300 bln of frozen Russian assets. We will take it. Take money, what we need for our interior production, and we will buy all the weapons from the United States. We don’t need gifts from the United States."

Help the US economy, help Ukraine defend themselves, and end the war. Trump can do this. Republicans can do this.

Russia has designated me as a “terrorist” for refusing its demands for mass surveillance and censorship on Telegram.

Under Russian law, I’m banned from “publishing information on the Internet” 😌

Russian officials are clearly confused about who can ban whom from the Internet 😉

@Eljanov Hey Pavel, when is your course part 2 on the italian for white due to come out? Have been waiting for awhile for it.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Every day, Russia commits terrorist atrocities against Ukrainian civilians that would cause outrage and catastrophe anywhere else. Unprovoked military attacks on innocents while the free world watches and talks.

[Anish Giri @anishgiri]

Studying games of GOATs.

Movsesian-Kasparov (and Van Wely) and the modern classic Pragg-Carlsen.

To castle or not to castle?

Not quite the same position, of course, with the bishop on a2 white king feels quite a bit safer.

Imagine playing chess at Washington Square Park, and @wemby is your opponent 🤯

It's one of Victor Wembanyama’s favorite hobbies!

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

The Russian Federation is not deploying the full range of means at its disposal, as it allegedly seeks to avoid inflicting harm upon the territories—including their populations—that it regards as its own property—so claims that scum Lavrov.

In Russian terrorist rhetoric, the destruction of Ukrainian cities is portrayed as a "limited use of force" and a supposedly deliberate avoidance of more widespread damage.

The destruction of Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Vuhledar, Marinka, Kurakhove, and Krasnohorivka is explained away as an "acceptable consequence of combat operations"—rather than as the mass destruction of civilian cities.

We ordinary Western Europeans will never get used to the inhumane and perverse statements of these Russian mass murderers—nor should we have to. We simply must ensure that they end up in prison as soon as possible.

For this repulsive scum, even prison is too good.

What on Earth is happening in Finland?? 🤯🇫🇮

The economy grows fastest in the EU and Nokia stock has almost tripled the past year.

Apparently Nokia has been successful in getting on the AI train with their NVIDIA deal.

[Sivers-Semiconductors @SiversSemicond]

As demand for faster, more efficient data movement surges, optical innovation is taking center stage.

Our advanced photonic solutions are redefining how data is transmitted, enabling high-speed, low-latency connectivity for next-gen applications.

I can’t recall chess ever being recognized at such a high level in Ukraine! I hope this marks a new bright chapter in the history of Ukrainian chess. Keep going, Roman - and thank you, Mr. President!
