@rushiii_12 I also first thought it was NOT OUT because the shot was already completed. But MCC Law 35 says if the batter breaks the wicket with bat/body/equipment while the ball is still in play, it can be given Hit Wicket OUT. Tough decision, but technically within the rule.

@Monomita05 So nice 💯

[Brijesh Maurya @brijesh1494]

@rpraggnachess Beyond all the discussions, it’s the journey that truly matters—years of hard work and belief to reach here.

Inspiring to see Indian chess rising on the global stage. Wishing you many more proud moments ahead. 🇮🇳♟️

@ChessbaseIndia My biggest weakness? Knowing all the principles… and still not following them 😅

Blunder first, realize in 2 seconds like “oh that was obvious!”

Happens almost every game. ♟️

[Brijesh Maurya @brijesh1494]

@humpy_koneru @WadimRosenstein Great to see players’ well-being being valued. Respect for taking a stand and for the support from the WR Chess team. ♟️🙏

[Brijesh Maurya @brijesh1494]

@humpy_koneru It takes courage to stand by what you truly feel. Not everyone will understand, but your journey and contribution to Indian chess speak for themselves. Respect. ♟️🇮🇳 @ChessbaseIndia

@Monomita05 @ChessbaseIndia @chesscom_in Thank you so much ma’am 🙏

It was a pleasure talking to you that day at the Inter Refinery Chess & Bridge Meet. I still remember the inspiring story you shared about Mayank’s journey and dedication.

So happy to see him achieve this historic milestone for Indian chess. ♟️🇮🇳

A proud moment to look back at.♟️

This photo is from the Inter Refinery Chess & Bridge Meet 2024 (Indian Oil) when I met IM Mayank Chakraborty.

@viditchess @Prakhar34661876 Sir, I remember meeting you during the @pspbmedia tournament in Vadodara!
I told you, "Jab se aap India's Got Latent mein gaye ho, aapki punchlines solid ho gayi hain"
You replied, "But mera game kharab ho gaya hai na 😅😅
That conversation still makes me laugh!

@GMJSindarov The FIDE World Cup in Goa proved one thing: the **chessboard is the only truth**. 👑

Forget the noise & off-board talk (#Nepomniachtchi). 🤫

At just 19, #JavokhirSindarov dominated in India, proving that relentless **FOCUS & PERFORMANCE** is the ultimate comeback. 🇮🇳
