@barstoolsports As a former ref, this is on the refs! Attack your problems when they are small...calling the obvious foul on the Wolves immediately would have avoided the retaliation.
It's white to move and channel his inner Gotham chess voice! How did white seal an important win to remain in joint 1st place with two rounds to go at the Icelandic Championship?

@thewizardmelon1 I prefer not to call anyone out, but there's a ton of this "content" on Instagram, TikTok, etc. Exaggerated acting over famous combinations/tactics/traps/studies.
I have a question for chess players...
What do you think about content "creators" replaying famous games/tactics/studies like they found the moves themselvesโฆor it happened in their own games?
โ๏ธ fine entertainment
โ misleading viewers
Which is it?

โThe hardest move to find is a backward (retreating) knight move.โ โ๏ธ
Such a move could have decided the World Senior Team Championship (65+) earlier today. If Igor Gazik find the winning move here, Italy ๐ฎ๐น would have won the gold but instead Germany ๐ฉ๐ช grabs the top spot.
Black to move and win after white's 25.Nde3?? ๐งฉ

Chess would be a lot easier if someone could just tap you on the shoulder when thereโs a tactic. I am sure my friend Runar would have spotted it if he was tapped ๐ โ๏ธ
Black to move. Can you spot it?

Oh my! 15.Kd1 by Esipenko has to be one of the more embarassing moves someone has played or had to play at the Candidates, maybe EVER! #Chess#FIDECandidates
Estonian IM Narva Mai is having a very strong Reykjavik Open! She just beat GM-elect Nico Chasin in 23 moves with white and has a PFR over 2600 on course for a GM norm, having already faced more than the required three GM opponents! @OnTheQueenside#Chess#ReykjavikOpen
