And my heart goes out for Ding 😭

[International Chess Federation @FIDE_chess]

🇮🇳 Gukesh D is the YOUNGEST WORLD CHAMPION in history! 🔥 👏

[K1 @methinathepla]

@EndgameaiChess No congratulations or anything 🤣

[K1 @methinathepla]

@anishgiri @chessmonitor I mean in Classical I can understand, bt to do this in Rapid is something beyond what a human mind can comprehend. We’re truly witnessing history being written!

[K1 @methinathepla]

@anishgiri Out of 10, how many GMs would think that this 1900 has cheated if it happened online?

@anishgiri This is becoming unbearable ngl

[K1 @methinathepla]

@anishgiri Dopamine also hits when you find a cool variation (ofc it'll turn into a cold shower if it doesn't work)

[Nihal Sarin @NihalSarin]

I would like to dedicate this win to @GmNaroditsky. It was one of his favourite tournaments. We have played endless bullets and hyperbullets, which definitely contributed to my growth as a player.

[K1 @methinathepla]

@anishgiri Ain't no way. We need every BTS from @ChessbaseIndia to witness Magnus & PHN with you discussing strategies & making plans. Uff the awkwardness 🔥

[K1 @methinathepla]

@Harryputtar98 Nihal literally plays Blitz/Bullet online till 4am and wakes up after 11am. Have you seen any of his interviews? Do you even know Nihal?

[Chess.com @chesscom]

Nihal Sarin dominates the 2026 Bullet Chess Championship 🏆

He made history with an INSANE 15 GAME WIN STREAK against 3x champ Alireza Firouzja to win back-to-back matches 🔥🔥

[K1 @methinathepla]

@anishgiri No disrespect Anish, bt why do you tend to ignore Hans' online cheating history while at the same time being the prime investigator in Naroditsky' matter?

[Tania Sachdev @TaniaSachdev]

It took 25 min to play the move, we analysed every single option and built on it, the shift on Vidit during that time was visible, felt the moment and did our best to convey that to people watching. For 25 min, with no moves people stayed on. Reacting to a clip without context is really a very odd outside in way of looking at chess broadcasting, but I guess there’s no other way at this point 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

“To beard the lion in his den.”

The dictionary defines it as boldly confronting a powerful rival on their own turf.

For years, Norway Chess has been Magnus Carlsen’s den. His turf. His domain.

So I woke up to this news and my jaw dropped.

You didn’t just win a title, @rpraggnachess.

You walked into the lion’s den and emerged victorious

This title is important. Not because of the trophy, but because of your challenger spirit.

And that’s something all of us can learn from…

🇮🇳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[K1 @methinathepla]

@anishgiri Just curious, do you consider Hans Neimann a better player than you at Rapid/Blitz?

[K1 @methinathepla]

"Carlsen is the only player above 2800 cuz he doesn't play" 🤡🤡🤡 Hope many people (especially those Indian bots) got their answer now

[agadmator @agadmator]

Magnus even wins some rating

[K1 @methinathepla]

If only you had focused more on preparation & less on promoting your chess app.. Congratulations though it was a decent tournament:)

[Anish Giri @anishgiri]

well, at least I was in the picture 😭🤣

[K1 @methinathepla]

@Gyan49485 Right.. so all the Indian & Uzbeki fans' sleep schedule would get fucked up. Not to talk abt low viewership & even lower venue visits by fans..

[K1 @methinathepla]

@Ans_Catalanwani @chesscom_in @itherocky @chess_assist Server sometimes doesn't receive the moves. Happens to the best of us! I'm currently at 800+ streak so I solve it two times just to be sure lol.

[K1 @methinathepla]

@viditchess Idk bt when are you streaming chess again
