@TUUR1 @maxeuwecentre Thanks, fascinating!

@TUUR1 @maxeuwecentre This is a fantastic tidbit! Thanks for sharing. I'm very curious about the source, could you please help out?

Wrote something after ages!

Shreyanshi is truly a fantastic talent. Seeing her journey at @UpstepAcademy from very close quarters has been nothing short of a privilege! Congratulations to @Pankitatom on his amazing work with her. Excited for what lies in store!

A little girl in Jaipur picked up a chess piece at age four, simply because she was curious. Three years later, that same child is winning State, National, and International titles! This is the story of 7-year-old Shreyanshi Jain.

@anishgiri Echoes of Fischer-Gadia, but played for very different reasons of course!

@Dixit__Nikhil I remember this nice little game from Logical Chess Move by Move! If I'm not mistaken, Spielmann game was White?

@bennettchess Funny thing: I actually placed an order for it yesterday and I see this post today! Great puzzle indeed.

@Kaldas90 Miro really goes under the radar. He's my favourite commentator as well, alongside Svidler.

How is it permissible for people to be burning sound-producing firecrackers at 02:30 am in the middle of a road? @MumbaiPolice

People are trying to get in sleep and unfortunately some people think it's okay to be 'having fun' at this hour.

Never been as sad about the passing of a person I have never met or communicated with. I am and always will be inspired by Daniel Naroditsky in many ways.

You were one of a kind and will be fondly remembered. Strength to his family and friends during this incredibly tough time.

Before I begin, I would like to state that I did not know Danya personally, nor did I ever meet or talk to him. But he left a permanent mark on me as a teen, and it's a story I want to share. (1/n)

[Shubham Kumthekar @SSK_Unplugged]

The collective reaction of the chess world tells me something - about how much Danya was loved and respected by everyone. Rest easy, Danya. You touched countless lives at every juncture of your chess career.
