Congratulations to @Divyadeshmukh05 on winning the World Cup. Becoming GM and a spot in the candidates. Amazing battle of nerves. @humpy_koneru played a very good event and showed a commendable fighting spirit . The great champion she is!
It was a great celebration of Indian chess, particularly Women's chess.

@ReallySwara UTEye! 😵

The point of inflection, literally, in the ongoing #RolandGarros Final - the start of a stellar comeback by @carlosalcaraz from the brink of loss, SAVING THREE CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS and clawing back set #4 from @janniksin to level the score! Whattay match! Vamos! 🎾

These two built their brands on outrage. Now they’re just outraged at each other for stealing the spotlight.

So, this isn't a feud. It's a malfunction in the attention economy.

When influence is the currency, betrayal is just a business expense. Guess who's footing the bill?!

Trump and Musk falling out is the billionaire version of unfriending someone for not liking your selfie.

Their fallout is like a reality show plot twist - predictable, petty, and somehow still on the air. And, it proves that even egos that big can’t fit in the same echo chamber

[Steve Nipps @stevenipps]

But, seriously - watching Trump and Musk public spat is like seeing a pop-up ad fight a conspiracy theory!

And, at this rate, Trump’s X account is the only thing that might be getting canceled (again!) faster than a Tesla Cybertruck delivery!

Example usage:
"In our Bullet game (2 | 1 time control), I served him a queenpie on move 29 — sacked the Black Queen on a1, and my Knight cleaned up with a corner mate! @chesscom Puzzles FTW!"

[Steve Nipps @stevenipps]

Queenpie à la cream pie! ♟️🥧

Queenpie (noun): A spectacular Queen sacrifice in Chess that lures or forces the enemy King into a corner (h8, a8, h1 or a1), setting up a final checkmate by a Knight.

@NYTGames today's Hard level in Pips Beta has an extra dose of difficulty, but I'm not sure if it's by design! 😅

Annexation threats and a trade war have definitely raised a red flag 🇨🇦
In turn, it's like a red flag to a bull(y). O Canada!
