SuperNationals VIII in the books! My first tournament as a chess dad, proud of JC & Sergio for trying their best.

Big thanks to the whole @USChess staff for putting on such an excellent event, and to the 4,600+ players, their parents and coaches for making the trip to Orlando!

Wemby or Knicks championship is an objectively amazing outcome for the NBA

@JoshuaBarzon In the summer B or C would be a delightful choice.

@Mid30sManhattan I always assumed it was for people who flew into O’Hare from someplace where it was legal and had weed on them - that thing’s been there forever.

@MarkTWIC Cancelled as per @davidllada

[David Llada ♞ @davidllada]

Very sad news from Cuba: the 59th edition of the Capablanca Memorial has been officially cancelled. I fear this may be the end of one of the longest-standing traditions in chess.

@tunkuv (If you can’t sleep)
Late flight (the later the better) one day before
Get checked in when you land
Walk around a lot
5:00pm dinner
Crash out at 7:00pm
Wake up bright eyed bushy tailed

[Jennifer Shahade @JenShahade]

I signed 300 copies of my book in Baltimore, mostly to young readers. I told them Thinking Sideways would be of more interest to their coaches and parents but many disagreed, insisting they LOVE advanced books.

Then a 7-year-old asked me a question about AI from chapter 4. 🤯

[John Fernandez @jfernandez]

One of the greats. While I’m old enough to have listened to Phil Rizzuto, John Sterling will always be the voice of the Yankees to me.

[New York Yankees @Yankees]

The Yankees mourn the loss of legendary broadcaster John Sterling. Our thoughts are with John’s family, friends and loved ones at this time.
