Historic win for India as our chess contingent wins the 45th #FIDE Chess Olympiad! India has won the Gold in both open and women’s category at Chess Olympiad! Congratulations to our incredible Men's and Women's Chess Teams. This remarkable achievement marks a new chapter in India's sports trajectory. May this success inspire generations of chess enthusiasts to excel in the game.

Theoretically, we were talking about chess with #Bodhana Sivanandan. But I think it was about life.❤

It is truly unfathomable how this kid would come from a country with no chess culture and not only become World Champion, but inspire generations of Indian kids to push chess forward. The legend, @vishy64theking! Huge congratulations to India for winning the @ChessOlympiad!

It is always good to remember what we have created in recent years. A few days before the 10th Judit Polgar's Global Chess Festival (17-18 August, Budapest) let's see what happened in 2022. 😉❤

Mikhail Botvinnik, the 6th World Chess Champion, was born on August 17, 1911.

He reigned from 1948 to 1963, with two brief interruptions, and is known for his scientific approach to chess preparation. Beyond the chessboard, Botvinnik was an electrical engineer with a mathematics degree and a pioneer in computer chess.

New GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS Title: Over seven million chess games played in one day! 🏆

🌟 On International Chess Day, July 20, a monumental achievement was realized as we set the new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the most chess games played in 24 hours, both online and over the board. #FIDE100

🌟 The goal was to surpass one million games, but an incredible 7,284,970 were played! 🌍

109 chess federations participated, with 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka (9,848 games), 🇮🇳 India (9,397 games), and 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan (8,759 games) leading the way. 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka and 🇮🇳 India hosted the most tournaments (78 each), followed by 🇨🇳 China (45).

♟️ To validate the record, all games had to be played within 24 hours as part of the FIDE 100 Guinness World Records Attempt, with a minimum time control of 3+2.

🌐 Over 75,000 games were over-the-board, while the rest were online across five platforms: @chesscom(including ChessKids), @lichess, @FideOnlineArena, SimpleChess, The Chess Alliance, and Zhisai. https://t.co/QR0TOzAtDa contributed over six million games!
