Looking forward to welcoming @julesgambit 🇺🇸 in Sitges again this year. Her followers will enjoy knowing that she'll be streaming her games live during the tournament 😊. Just 4 days to go for the 11th edition of #SunwaySitges!

@anishgiri I think I would actually pay for @anishgiri OnlyFans World Chess Championship Game Recap.

Only Once, but still.

Hey #chesspunks who have had coaching - what’s the best thing a coach has done or said to prepare you for a big tournament? Do your lesson activities change in the lead-up to an event? Coaches, feel free to answer too :)

@Lona_Chess Better to learn when you’re young. 😀

The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman.

The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.

@chess24com great news about - wait there's only one @anishgiri ? Who's doing all the sardonic tweeting it's not clones or a sweatshop somewhere?

[patricktheprogrammer @patricktheprog1]

@chess24com It's not just if Ding thinks he's a favorite in the tiebreaks, maybe he's (subconsciously?) protecting himself by being able to say "oh I lost on tiebreaks it's all random" to himself.

People's brains are weird, mine included.

[patricktheprogrammer @patricktheprog1]

@monzirmusa_ @chesscom seems fishy on https://t.co/GGhZacaBzu's part for sure.

It's a big ask, but I'd love to see you run a quick test with numbers for games played, games reported, and points returned. Let's say two weeks with no reporting, then two weeks reporting every (or every suspicious loss).

[patricktheprogrammer @patricktheprog1]

@danheisman but my clock is ticking - relentlessly ticking - it's like a metaphor for life or something - ticking ticking

[patricktheprogrammer @patricktheprog1]

@monzirmusa_ @chesscom Once the cheater is sanctioned, you get the rating points back whether or not you report the loss

[Nils Grandelius @GMGrandelius]

My first course not about openings just got published on @chessable ! Playing with dynamic compensation is a fascinating subject that has been a personal favorite of mine throughout my entire career - if it sounds interesting, please check it out!

Going live on Twitch now, playing some chess with Queen odds against amateurs ("Botez Gambit Speedrun"). I'll stream for an hour and will then come back to watching the WC match. If anyone's interested, you can watch it here: https://t.co/Y1UWsT1bae
