@kumaranupam6 @TimesAlgebraIND Where is the proof for the attendant misbehavior? Also, more importantly, in the same heat of the moment if that person had slapped your friend doctor, what would be your reaction? She said, she's not going to look into this person's daughter; so, there is no attendant here!

@chesscom Submitting an online petition to use “Horse” instead of “Knight” in chess terminology. 😀

@anishgiri perfect example for "sour grapes". Those who do not get it, just search for the phrase, "sour grapes".

@Blr_ChessClub @USChess @DGukesh @penidryjasher Thank you so much! I'm thrilled. This is as if I am meeting Gukesh in person! 🙂

@chesscom Rf6 seems to be the only move that will not result in an immediate checkmate. It would be a discovered check from Bishop at a7, but black can take RxBa7; and there is no check from the other Bishop at h8 because Rook on f6 is blocking. Nice puzzle! 🫡

[Manohar @knmanohar]

@RobertJBrazeau @chesscom_in Not true. There is a 50 move rule -- if there is no capture in 50 moves, then it is considered as draw.

@TarjeiJS Gukesh will not give up his World Champion title. He should not. Traditional chess is here to stay, no matter how many new variants get birth. Gukesh or any other top Indian players will not part away from FIDE. They should not. Also, Vishy Anand is part of FIDE. Simple.

Huge respect to this couple! Undoubtedly, they are among the primary reasons for the recent Chess boom in India. Kudos to you @sagarchess1 and @AmrutaMokal. Thank you for everything you are doing! #chess #chessinindia #chessbaseindia

This post is a heartfelt tribute to the hardest-working duo in the chess world, @sagarchess1 and @AmrutaMokal. No one puts in longer hours than they do, often working to the point of exhaustion. We all enjoy the fruits of their labor: @chessbaseIndia has become a household name in the chess community, one of our sport's most beloved and reputable brands!

@AnuvabSen10 @SusanPolgar @qutedk Yes, we are talking about World Chess Championship and not about anything else. The current World Champion won the Candidates tournament, qualified as the challenger to Ding, and won that event. Gukesh is THE World Chess Champion whether some people like it or not.

[Manohar @knmanohar]

@TheJPalmzie @SusanPolgar I cannot stop watching a sport because one sports person decides not to play. It was his decision not to play, why would I stop following or watching.

[Manohar @knmanohar]

@qutedk @SusanPolgar @chesscom @ChessbaseIndia @ChessBase @lichess @ECUonline @chessdom @chessclubICC Format is very clear. There’s a Candidates Tournament to find out who is going to be the challenger for the WCC. It is not based on the Rankings or FIDE Ratings. Ding was previous WCC and Gukesh was Candidates Winner. Fair deal!!

[Manohar @knmanohar]

@AliKahaei @SusanPolgar No, she hasn’t missed the point at all. Your point was WCC was boring because Magnus Carlsen wasn’t there in it. But it was his decision to stay away from WC. Chess World cannot stop having WCC because of 1 person.

[Manohar @knmanohar]

@radical_siefbi @SusanPolgar @Sortospino @chesscom @ChessbaseIndia @ChessBase @lichess @ECUonline @chessdom @chessclubICC That’s completely a wrong perception. To call someone as a World Champion, he must win World Championship Match. Period. This has been the format for ages and will probably continue for a long time. We cannot arbitrarily make changes to the format just because we don’t like it.

[Manohar @knmanohar]

@TheJPalmzie @SusanPolgar Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. Rules must be applied for everyone equally and that is fair. And, those rules must be followed by the best player as well.
