@davidllada D

Kindly consider removing the "place/event" requirement, as I doubt many care where they did it

(Last time I lied with C)

@vishy64theking Wow Vishy, You've had greatest of experiences for being first Indian to dominate Chess like that, inspiring/coaching the New Gen, and now, Fide President!

But this Chess Top Leadership spot is like a broken clock. It never gets it right by design!

So, Enjoy the moment..

@chesscom @GMJuditPolgar Happy Birthday JP.

Its the highest I've seen a female reach in anything, or so. Awesome

(Just that after she peaked at like 28 or so, she spends every moment of her remaining 72 years boasting about her win against Kasparov)

@SUChessTourneys Simon ain't the guess - he's the certainty

Its the guy on the right...

@TheFigen_ Odd
I would expect them to make multiple identical copies by tracing or so, and then edit a bit here and there

@davidllada C
Its a shame how many Alexander the Great had to kill for immortality

If only he met the guy playing Black...

That guy has a record of making others immortal

@mustreader After losing his WC, Ding emotionally said like "at least they won't say I am the weakest WC"

Not anymore!

Ding was under therapy after winning WC, so expected

But Gukesh's perf is an enigma. He can still win the next super tournament, but too often ends up with a black eye

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@KoridzeLile After seeing what Argentina did after losing, I think the poor guy did OK - was just too honest on how he felt

Sadly, Chess demands artificial behaviour, even when the guy may be bleeding after a hard loss

It's a ruthless game

@davidllada C
2+3 = 5
3+2 = 5
Always

In chess, switch the order and...

...the guy found himself on the front page of every newspaper the morning after

Poor bastard - i guess he must even be pouring his milk and tea in the right order now

@davidllada D

Nxa4 munch, leads to Nxe4 forking Queen and Bishop

But who, when, where ??
Waiting!

@10genn She'd likely have sold most off

But even if she retained a fistfull, more guys would be trying to woo her than Cleopatra

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@ChessbaseIndia Take it light, Gukesh

You are the first 18-year kid to be WC, and have to figure out for the first time how to balance that heavy crown, how to stay ahead despite being in the crosshair of every 2700+, how to satisfy a billion fans...

Let go, and tune into the 2024 Gukesh

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@DavidHowellGM Congrats David 🙂

Hey wait...err...careful buddy

If you have a sweetheart, and this isn't dedicated to her, kindly update back your "luck status" tomorrow

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@ThePitchTalks She will laugh too...
...soon as she understands the joke

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@ImShahinyan Hide behind the b6 pawn, and wait, and wait...

Soon as he moves g6, you will have a clear line of sight - shoot!

You can't miss

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@your_jacks Globally, all such awards are a sham, at various levels of shamelessness

If you suspect SRK eroded it, i'd say he was more successful at it

Without SRK, someone else would be eroding it

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@davidllada So, Spain was playing with 10 men far longer than Argentina was!

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@davidllada Thanks
Personally, I prefer something interesting in the position as well.

This one is bland, but due to the historical significance, your sin is forgiven

Keep them coming!

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@davidllada A
Wish I was there. So much to "pick up" while the nerds were mesmerized by the move

[arun techie @aruntechie123]

@VBkramnik Karpov style?

Sorry, but Spain was awful in converting against a zombie team

It's closer to peak Gukesh struggling to beat an out of form Ding #23 in WC 2024
He did, but on the verge of being pushed into speed decider

Or Chaplin losing that famous boxing match in Citylights
