‘ International Chess Federation move to lift sanctions on the russian and belarusian chess federations, allowing their flags and anthems to return, is a shocking disregard for the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine. #NoRussianBloodyFlagBackInChess

I treasure my own Chess Olympiad memories & would love to just enjoy this Olympiad in Budapest. But politics and the value of human life come first. The Russian Federation is banned, as from most international events, due to Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine. It must be upheld.

have you tried turning it on and off again

check out my latest tiktok, Top 5 Visa Refusals From The #ChessOlympiad

all of my enemies are also stinky little boys

my coach sends me this every time i talk about the budapest

we're just 1 draw away from having an american higher rated than the world champion for the first time

these 2 moves are big reasons more people don’t play the budapest admittedly 2.c4 is the main reason

A new series on the great Swedish player Gideon Stahlberg has just started! youtube.com/watch?v=bAAfKK… And if you enjoy that, then take a look at the book that inspired the movie 😉 newinchess.com/gideon-stahlbe… Tagging @chessproblem for no reason 😊

the current director for chess development used to have pretty strong views about argentina organizing chess tournaments in the falklands i wonder if his principles extend to his new russian overlords

out of all the people in budapest i can confidently say that susan is producing the best content

i have a very very serious olympiad related question is there a book stall??

we live in a prison

sad to see such negativity for millions of dollars flooding into chess!

shameless
