The European Chess Club Cup is underway hosted at one of the most beautiful places - Budva in Montenegro. We’ve been following the action on the ground taking photos.

It’s incredible to see the matchups of legends vs amateurs. Round 3 is starting today, worth following!

ok but why. why???

Silent Magnus. A famous checkmate 🤔

Can you name it before the last move?

playing chess like my brain was vibe coded

[MrDodgy (space for sale) @ChessProblem]

this seems like it was built so that nobody knows what's actually at stake in any given game

[MrDodgy (space for sale) @ChessProblem]

this sounds normal

FIDE announced "coordination with state security forces to ensure a secure corridor, hotel security, and continuous surveillance of the playing hall," and an ambulance on-site at the venue 24/7. for the World Junior Championship in Caracas, Venezuela. https://t.co/R2LLxgJCfW

the turlov-pein regime continues to roll the dice on chess being tossed out of the ioc

[Peter Heine Nielsen @PHChess]

Dear FIDE President @turlov

You promised to follow International law and the CAS verdict, yet you allow the FIDE Rated Russian 🇷🇺 Rapid Championship to proceed, despite participant from Illegally occupied Crimea 🇺🇦 and Luhansk 🇺🇦

Why do you not take any action?
@iocmedia

[MrDodgy (space for sale) @ChessProblem]

it was voted on before they checked 🤷‍♂️there isn't "no quorum" until people have been counted

[Chris Bird @ChrisBirdIA]

How could this proposal be "formally supported" on the day it was determined there wasn't enough interest by the delegates to even form a quorum? I specifically remember during the QC meeting they stated they felt the pilot project for the 45+30 time control was a failure.

[MrDodgy (space for sale) @ChessProblem]

be the change you truly want to be

[Vasif Durarbayli @durarbayli]

My recent post about ChessEver was shared on Reddit with a title focused on my use of the word “communist” for Lichess. I posted a clarification there and want to share it here too.

I’ve written critical posts about Lichess before, but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect what they’ve built. I’ve also said many times that my company, ChessEver, has been able to make progress thanks to their work. We’re grateful for that. I don’t see these things in black and white: I can appreciate Lichess and still disagree with some of its decisions.

My recent post, where I called Lichess “communist” in the opening, was shared here without the full context or a link to the original.

I’ve already apologized to Lichess’s founder, Thibault, for misinterpreting his GitHub bio. I took the wording seriously and thought it reflected his philosophy. He explained that it was satire about labels other people had applied to Lichess. I got that wrong.

I didn’t intend the word as an insult or criticism. When I used the word, I was thinking about free access, equal treatment for users, and voluntary contributions to something built for the community. I still see similarities that explain the comparison, but that’s my interpretation, not how Lichess describes itself. I misunderstood the context of the founder’s bio, and I won’t keep using the label.

My broader point was about the kind of company I want ChessEver to become: a sustainable business that also contributes to the chess community. That’s the discussion I wanted to have.

@merenzon @PHChess there’s a new reason every 2 days, it’s not hard to find one. he’s going to spend more time in courtrooms than at chess tournaments
