Carlsen headlines the Move Cup in Barcelona from January 19-20, a new 8-player rapid tournament with 10+1 time control.

I can not even put words to how terrible this is. I am so tired of seeing female chess streamers (and women in general) having to deal with this. It’s time authorities start taking online threats and stalking more seriously - constantly fearing for your safety is, to put it mildly, exhausting.

I struggle to understand why FIDE Presidential candidates meet with Ilyumzhinov.

He is honorary president of the illegal Crimean chess federation.

@TurlovforChess, you stated you respect international law and CAS verdicts?

It breaches both.

[Peter Heine Nielsen @PHChess]

The honorary President of the Crimean Chess Federation, made the first move at the top board of the chess Olympiad today.

@PHChess @ChrisBirdIA … in accordance with Article 3 and Articles 4.2 – 4.7.

@PHChess @ChrisBirdIA 5.2.2    The game is drawn when a position has arisen in which neither player can checkmate the opponent’s king with any series of legal moves. The game is said to end in a ‘dead position’. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the position was…

🇺🇦 Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliynykova scored her first-ever win over a russian opponent at Roland Garros and then openly spoke about double standards in WTA.

“Many russian athletes actively participate in propaganda, play in Gazprom-linked tournaments, and openly support Putin,” she said after the match.

Oliynykova also revealed that she had been pressured by the WTA for months over her public statements about russian players and the war. According to her, officials demanded she stop mentioning certain athletes by name and threatened her with fines and even disqualification.

@arnsholt Ikke sant? Overraskende 😂

[Kristoffer Gressli @gressli]

Kritikerne av Magnus Carlsen sier at han bare beholder ratingen sin fordi han ikke spiller. Og så stiller han i en turnering og går opp 1 poeng. Blir morsomt med Norway Chess på hjemmebane i Oslo om to uker med en Carlsen som har spilt seg varm i Sverige!

@martineh24 Awww, det er kjærleik!!

@TarjeiJS I’m quite certain that is a truth with quite some modification. I’m 98,2% certain he’s at least read most of «Pal Benko: My Life, Games and Compositions» :)

@HelgeNordahl @larre Fortsatt en del småbugs som må gjøres manuelt (klubbkartet f.eks.), men har du ønsker er veien kort fra idé til gjennomføring, så rop ut!

[Kristoffer Gressli @gressli]
