@Chessidharta Tengo MUCHAS ganas de leer tu libro... Te conozco desde los ¿7 años? y he hablado contigo varias veces. Tu visión es necesaria para el ajedrez español.
El 28 de mayo di una charla en Madrid, en la jornada organizada por @SanofiES "JaqueMate a la #esclerosis múltiple". Fue un privilegio compartir experiencias con las magníficas profesionales que acudieron. Aprendimos que, al igual que en #ajedrez, la clave está en la prevención
♟️❤️ 'Alatortsev, un ajedrecista en la sombra' ha sido el último capítulo de JAQUEa2. Tengo la sensación de que el 95% de los aficionados no conocen quién fue este gran maestro soviético. Y tiene una historia formidable.

@GMAlexColovic Carlsen está ahora a muchas cosas a la vez... a parte del hijo. Quien mucho abarca, poco aprieta, decimos en España. Son muchos los compromisos a los que tiene que atender y por algún lado se le van las fuerzas...
❌ "Alireza Firouzja ne sera plus appelé en sélection à l'avenir, sauf volonté clairement exprimée de sa part de réintégrer durablement cette dynamique collective."
La Fédération française a publié ses sélections pour les prochaines Olympiades, et le divorce est officialisé avec Firouzja !
🇫🇷 À l'inverse, Étienne Bacrot est de retour !

Me complace anunciar mi presencia en la feria Vitafoods Europe 2026, los días 5 y 6 de mayo.
Será en Fira Barcelona, Gran Via de L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. Mi esposa @chessolja y yo estaremos jugando #ajedrez en el stand 3G254 de Stratum Nutrition. ¿Te atreves a retarnos?
After many rewarding years, my time at Webster University is coming to a close, as the university has decided to discontinue its chess program.
I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished together. The Webster chess program established itself as one of the most successful collegiate chess programs in history, achieving sustained excellence at both the national and international levels. Over the past 14 years (2012–2026), our students captured 2 World Championships, 3 Olympiad gold medals, and more than 90 national titles.
In collegiate competition, Webster remained the top-ranked program and qualified for the national championship every year. We won or tied for first place in 10 of 14 Pan American Intercollegiate Championships and secured 7 of 13 President’s Cups.
I am deeply grateful to the visionary leaders who supported the program from the beginning, especially former Chancellor Dr. Elizabeth Stroble and former President Dr. Julian Schuster, as well as the dedicated staff, generous donors, and friends who helped build its success.
I also want to sincerely thank the program’s founders and my predecessors, Susan Polgar and Paul Truong, for creating a legacy in collegiate chess that will be very difficult to match.
Above all, I am most proud of our players. Their professionalism, outstanding work ethic, and commitment to excellence defined the program and made everything possible. More than 60 alumni — including many grandmasters from around the world — have graduated from Webster, and I am confident they will continue to thrive both on and off the chessboard.
Although this chapter is ending, I am excited about the future and the new opportunities ahead to keep mentoring, competing, and contributing to the game I love.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this remarkable journey.
After achieving a 2828 performance at the 2025 FIDE Grand Swiss, I had hoped 2026 would bring more invitations to top-level events. Unfortunately, despite reaching out to several organizers, no opportunities have materialized. As a result, I’ve been competing in open tournaments instead.
Over the past 15 days, I played in both the Semana Santa Open and the Menorca Open, winning each with a score of 7.5/9.
To tournament organizers: I remain very interested in participating in strong closed events or leagues, and I would greatly appreciate any invitations. Please feel free to get in touch.

On the outset it might seem it's just 4 draws, but the games show certain tendencies and form of the players. Delved deeper into those aspects today in the Round 2 review of Candidates games.
