Apparently, my course got mentioned in the same sentence as Anish's famous Najdorf. Is my life complete now?

[MichelT @Michel_T89]

@itsmejabe Definitely haha!

Could someone refer me to the correct page of 'Chess Structures' for this pawn structure? 😅

I know you are all bored of shogi posts - but why doesn’t chess have this? Xd

Omtzigt klaagde in De Telegraaf over “grote belastingverhogingen” die hij dacht te zien in plannen GroenLinks-PvdA. Dan wil hij liever regeren met de VVD.

#Omtzigt is rechts. Hij wil rijken en vermogenden beschermen. Hij is tegen lagere lasten voor werkenden:

Fact: If I go to Uzbekistan with my boyfriend I could be jailed for 3 years, because trans women are considered men, and sex between men is punished by 3 years of prison.

But anyway, it's a FIDE competition, so trans women are banned...

And they dare talk about fairness... 🙄

Rico Verhoeven is niet blij met de tendens bij de video met Dilan Yesilgöz. ‘Ik lijk nu pro VVD. Het was een samenwerking met NOC*NSF om kansarme jongeren de ruimte te geven om te sporten.’ #BEAU

Getting ignored here.

Waarom een kortere levensduur in Nederland dan in Noord en Zuid? Luchtverontreiniging / industrie?

FIDE WOMAN'S GRAND SWISS ROUND 11 RECAP

Vaishali confirms the Candidates spot, but Tan Zhongyi snatches it in a dramatic manner in front of Munguntuul, Garifullina, Cramling, and Stefanova!

Games and details in the thread below!

It can be seen that GM Emir Dizdarević played on their first board and scored 1.5/2.0. Which would be all fine if GM Emir Dizdarevic… also didnt play the 1st round of the Bosnian League for team “Napredak” AT THE EXACT SAME TIME - on 04/11 at 16.00.

[chessentials @Chessentials_]

The last two days, the 8th and 9th rounds of the 2nd Croatian League South were played. Team Šibenik won in the 8th round and drew (prolly prearranged) in the 9th round to clinch the first place in the league and ensure participation in qualification for the 1B league.

Since I wasn’t personally involved and don’t know the details, I don’t care to write another complaint. But I do think someone from @FIDE_chess should make a thorough inquiry. Otherwise I fear this will be masked/dealt with on the local level.
