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.

Very sad news to hear about the loss of Daniel Naroditsky, the whole chess world is in utter shock. I used to login to https://t.co/zBG5h8tkiB to play bullet games, but if Daniel was playing I would much prefer to watch his games instead. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

One of the longest-running tournaments in Spain sparked reactions this week after organizers tried to ban Israeli players and prevent them from competing under their national flag. Following backlash, and FIDE warnings, organizers reversed the decision. https://t.co/NOVUI0Ofry

♟ The International Chess Federation (FIDE) has announced a series of format enhancements and one million euros prize fund for the 2025 World Rapid and Blitz Championships in Doha, Qatar.

🤩 For the 2025 edition, the prize fund has been set at one million euros (approx. 1.125 million USD), maintaining the high financial standard of recent editions and reaffirming FIDE’s commitment to top level competition.

🌟 In a significant structural shift, for 2025 FIDE is introducing a more streamlined knockout stage in the Blitz events in the Open and the Women’s sections. Only the top four players from the Swiss stage of the tournament will advance directly to the knockout semifinals (previously, eight players in both competitions qualified for the knockout).
