[Ramesh RB @Rameshchess]

One of my long term dream is to field a @chessgurukul team in an International team event, coming to reality! Eagerly looking forward! My wife @Aarthieramesh will be the team manager/captain. Daughter Varsha will be playing as well in the below 2000 board. Each one of them is very very close to my heart. Dream team! @rpraggnachess @chessvaishali @RakshittaRavi @KarthikeyanM64 @Praneshchess @pawnof64squares

🐣 Depuis qu’il est père, Magnus Carlsen ne vit plus les défaites tout à fait de la même façon !

💬 « Je n’ai pas remarqué beaucoup de changements dans ma façon de jouer. Mais la première fois que j’ai perdu une partie classique depuis que je suis devenu père, j’ai constaté que je l’avais très bien pris, selon mes standards. D’habitude, j’aurais été beaucoup plus contrarié. Il illumine mes journées dès que je le vois. Donc je ne peux pas rester trop en colère après une défaite. »

Chess is literally one of the cheapest sports to get coaching in. You can find very good coaches online for a very affordable price. If you can't invest even a small amount in coaching, improvement will always be slower. There's no shortcut around that.

[C-Squared Podcast @Csquared]

Peter Leko explains how the young generation benefited from the explosive growth of online chess, at the detriment of the older generation

"Online chess has its benefits, you become an incredible fighter...then he (Keymer) suddenly got the chance to play the Magnus Tour...

These are incredible opportunities, I saw Praggnanandhaa grow as a player. His opening repertoire, thanks to all these events, became so much better...

I remember, as an old school guy, I'm a little bit surprised by this that so many top players are playing on the internet...And then young players can catch the top guys and win games online, and you get the feeling that they are beatable..."

Building a strong belief system and working on your instinct

©️Written by IM Nikhil Dixit

One thing player must do is build a very strong mindset and do whatever genuinely feels right to you.

I see many kids listening to their chess coaches and parents very blindly. I always tell most of my students that you must learn to take your own decisions if your belief system is strong enough.

Because if anything goes wrong, parents and coaches often end up blaming the player. Koi bhi insaan apne upar jimmedari nahin lena chahta.

This is true for chess tournaments, practice routines, and even coaching patterns.

For example, if you go into a round and your instinct says you should play a different opening, then go with it.

If your instinct says something is not working, and even your coach or parents are opposing your decision, you should still do whatever feels right to you.

Our mind is very powerful and it is extremely important to listen to your own thoughts instead of blindly following everyone else.

Maximum kya hoga? You lose one game. Nothing else.

But at least it will happen on your own terms.

Today, the Romanian judicial system has ruled definitively against a caught cheater.

It only took 3 years of frivolous arguments, but the Romanian Federation (and myself) come out unscathed and with justice on our side!

I am going to discontinue one student's classes because their parents are too much involved and giving me suggestions. 90% of the time parents are the reason kids stop playing chess.
