Messi asked ChatGPT to teach him a chess opening that matched his style. It suggested Goat Horns 🤘

Underrated life advice: Keep a list of the people who believed in you early. The teacher who pushed you. The boss who took a chance. The friend who told you to go for it. Every now and then, reach out. Update them. And tell them just how much you appreciate what they did for you.

CISF’s Swift Response: Suspicious Person Apprehended While Attempting to Escape at Metro Station!

Alert CISF personnel at Jama Masjid Metro Station of DMRC sprang into action when a passenger attempted to flee after a suspicious, dense object appeared on the XBIS screen during baggage screening.

Demonstrating quick reflexes and effective coordination, CISF personnel immediately pursued and apprehended the fleeing passenger near the exit gate.

Further examination of his belongings revealed an unidentified semi-solid substance concealed in a stitched portion of his undergarment. The passenger, who claimed to be an NRI residing in Kuala Lumpur, along with his belongings, was handed over to the police for further investigation.

The swift action and alertness of CISF personnel highlight their prompt response and commitment to ensuring metro security.

be honest: are you good at chess?

[Hikaru Nakamura @GMHikaru]

Many astute observers have noted that @GMJSindarov and I are at the same hotel in Cyprus for the same dates, and they're questioning if I'm on Sindarov's World Championship Prep Team. While I'm not, I am advising him in a limited capacity about 2.Ke2. The OG prep was for an eventual WC match against Magnus, but as that won't be happening, the world deserves to have this prep in the open, so I'm sharing it. I've also heard that Magnus is sharing his 2.Ke2 prep with @DGukesh. Good Luck to Sindarov and Gukesh, may the best 2.Ke2 win!
