This is fantastic.

The backdrop is Madrid and it is incredible to see.

But I do believe that it is not real, although if it were China I suspect they could have pulled it off!

♟🌍 Happy International Chess Day!

Chess teaches us to think ahead, make decisions, learn from mistakes, and keep improving. These are skills that extend far beyond the 64 squares – which is why FIDE has declared 2026 the Year of Chess in Education.

✈️🇪🇸🗣️ El celebrado mensaje de un piloto en pleno vuelo comunicando a los pasajeros que España vuelve a ser campeona del mundo: "Aquellos que tengan una camiseta con una sola estrella tendrán que comprarse otra"

El ambiente de celebración por el nuevo título de España no solo se vivió en las calles y en los hogares, sino también a bordo de un avión, donde el propio piloto protagonizó un momento tan inesperado como simpático

Bullet was 15-0. Now it's classical. 🔥 Nihal Sarin faces Alireza Firouzja at Chennai GM. Who takes this chapter Nihal on home turf or Firouzja looking for revenge?

La Federación Española de Futbol debería poner "En er mundo" en el vestuario antes del salir al campo en la Final del domingo. Si los yankees tienen el Toque de carga del Séptimo de Caballería, el comienzo del Pasodoble "En er Mundo" es lo más Español que hay, ¡Viva España!

Firouzja is up to World no. 9 and takes a 1-point lead in Chennai on 2/2 after beating Gukesh, who drops below MVL and Erdogmus to World no. 28! https://t.co/zzgf76YTOU

The war is coming to an end... and the crown already has an owner.👑

Or so we thought.

Ready for the final?

What will the score be this Sunday?⬇️

🔥 A brilliant finish by Leinier Dominguez Perez!

A sharp tactical shot from the FIDE World Rapid Team Championship 2026. Leinier finds a beautiful mate-in-4 combination. Can you spot the winning idea?

🎉 Happy 36th birthday to Ian Nepomniachtchi! 🎂♟

With a career-high rating of 2795 and a peak world ranking of No. 2, Ian became only the second player to win the FIDE Candidates Tournament in consecutive editions (2021 and 2022). He also shared the 2024 FIDE World Blitz Championship title with Magnus Carlsen.

The game featured here comes from that dramatic World Blitz Championship final. Nepo won the game against Carlsen to level the match score and keep the title match alive, forcing the contest into additional tie-breaks before it was ultimately agreed that the world title would be shared.

Wishing Ian a fantastic birthday and a year filled with happiness, success, and many more memorable games! 🎉♟

[International Chess Federation @FIDE_chess]

El Rey de Inglaterra pudo con el Rey vikingo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇴

Honor a Noruega y a Haaland… qué Mundial 👏🏽

[Chess.com Português @chesscom_pt]

Ele tava super animado, coitado 😢😢

Aposto que Magnus Carlsen não tiraria o Haaland do jogo!

😂 Tras quedar eliminados del Mundial, unos hinchas noruegos fueron captados “remando” sobre el carrusel de equipajes de un aeropuerto.

Se van del torneo, pero dejan una de las aficiones más coloridas y divertidas

Me flipa. Una encamisada de los tercios españoles y música de Héroes del Silencio de fondo.
Vaya video más guapo.
