50 yrs ago today – 4th July, 1973 – the #chess world was shaken by the sudden death, in Moscow, of one of its greatest talents – Leonid Stein, 3-time USSR champion & winner of two great international events held in the Soviet capital in 1967 & 1971. He was just 38 years old. pic.twitter.com/DbVoqiH7JW

Destroy the city, kill tens of thousands of people (if not hundreds of thousands). Commit one of the worst war crimes in the recent times. Then whitewash it with chess. The world, including chess world, remains silent. https://t.co/Knq5YeNWpb

Another terrible russian attack on Lviv. At least 4 dead, 35 wounded, this building in the photo is only 300 meters from Ivanchuk's house and 600 meters from Romanishin. It's time to protect Ukrainian civilians more than russian airfields. pic.twitter.com/7WeVRSkhBw

Judit Polgar’s skills were wild at 17
Many chess fans don’t know that Judit Polgar beat former World Champion, Boris Spassky, in a ten-game match in 1993, when she was only 17 years old. This happened a year after Spassky had played the “rematch” against Bobby Fischer.

„What a powerful move. I did not consider it at all.” And later „block and report”.
The farce that is Vladimir Kramnik continues to defame people he plays on Titled Tuesday. In this case, he missed the first move I thought of (0.01 second). He clearly has lost a lot of his… pic.twitter.com/0dMdO0MWXV— GM Jacob Aagaard (@GMJacobAagaard) March 22, 2024
❌ But contre son camp pour Kramnik ????
L’ancien champion du monde voulait prouver que José Martínez triche en ligne… il a obtenu exactement l’inverse en perdant le match !
