@naval yep, rely on 'experts' for best books suggestions.

These studies are valuable, but a lot of them bury the most important context in the footnotes: frequency of use, total user base, exposure hours, failure rates at scale, etc.
It’s the same reason 'flying is safer than driving' never fully lands with people. Statistics don’t account for the human feeling of control, even if that control is mostly an illusion.

@joybhattacharj Absolute hype at its peak! Nobody was stopping what they were doing to go watch the 15 year old play on TV.

This is 8-year-old Tamizh Amudhan (born on 2nd of September 2017). He is sitting in his home in Sivakasi. The electricity was not there so he had to use a candle.

In the first round of Freestyle Friday, he was pitted against world no.7 Vincent Keymer (2759). Not only is Vincent an amazing player he is well known for his Freestyle Chess. It was absolutely stunning how Tamizh Amudhan outwitted him!

This youngster who trains at Hatsun Chess Academy near Sivakasi is already a CM and rated close to 2000 Elo. A huge congrats to the youngster and his grit! 😍

@GMJuditPolgar @chessvaishali @GMJSindarov You are the best in the business Judit. I truly enjoy your insightful commentary.

@DeanTTraining @FantasyMess89 Just checked out your macros calculator. Thanks for sharing it with the community. With Option 2 selection, daily calories comes up to 1617. To lose fat, does maintenance calories work in the long run or caloric deficit is still a must?

@STLChessClub @GMHikaru He’s absolutely right. I don’t understand why commenters in this thread are questioning his gameplay and motivation. He’s clearly saying Sindarov ran away with the title and there isn’t anything anyone else can do at this point.

[Kris 💎 @vskrishna]

@DavidHowellGM Ever heard of rubbing salt and wounds? Brilliant strategy by @GMJSindarov 💪. Go Sindarov!

@HansMokeNiemann Domain name is 🔥.

@ChessProblem Mathematical max after 4 rounds is 4. Not 3.5.

I bought a ticket for FIDE CANDIDATES in CYPRUS without realizing the dates collided with my wedding date.

If anyone is interested in taking my place, it's at The Haven event centre off Oba Akinjobi G.R.A, Ikeja, Lagos. on April 16th
Her name is Simisola.

@adekunle_sp Queen Sacrifice? Brilliant!

[Kris 💎 @vskrishna]

@Mr_Derivatives Let’s do it.

[Kris 💎 @vskrishna]

@ChessbaseIndia Thats totally uncharacteristic blunder from Hikaru. It smells fishy! @FIDE_chess must investigate.

[Kris 💎 @vskrishna]

@BGOnTheScene All they do is to conduct this bizarre drama once a month. This has absolutely zero impact on anything whatsoever. Who is funding them? All organizations that fund and resort to these disruptions must be accounted for.

@abisftbl Ball watched to perfection.

[Kris 💎 @vskrishna]

@memechaotic I wouldn’t touch it w/ a 10ft pole.

@GOP He is the epitome of queen energy 😂.

@bhogleharsha T20 cricket especially IPL is unwatchable. There is no suspense at all. Both SRH and KKR would have had no chance to defend even if they eventually score above 250 runs. Winning the toss and chasing is as easier as it gets!
