A bright spot in an otherwise garbage week. I follow chess news pretty closely and Peter always has some fun color or details I would have otherwise missed. Highly recommended

I was about to upload the second episode when I heard about Danya and couldn't get myself to sharing it. Still in shock. Anyway, here it is. New name also. www.buzzsprout.com/2546567/epis...

I felt it was time for a new experiment. Introducing CHESSVIBES WEEKLY, a new podcast that covers the latest chess news. Hope you like it! (And hopefully soon on Apple and Spotify as well.) A retweet would be appreciated... Spread the word! www.buzzsprout.com/2546567/epis...

Happy to see my book being released in yet another country: Sweden! There, it's called Schackrevolutionen. 😀 fritanke.se/bokhandel/bo...

It’s unboxing time again… for the fully updatet, beautiful paperback edition of The Chess Revolution! 😍

Chapter 4 of THE CHESS REVOLUTION focuses on three giants of chess: Bobby Fischer, Garry Kasparov, and Magnus Carlsen. Over the years, @60Minutes interviewed the three of them and you can now watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTQZ...

With Lazavik-Gurel making the rounds, it shouldn't be hard to find what Arthur de Winter missed in his black game vs. Dimitri Reinderman (Groningen 2023).

The Chess Revolution has reached Italy, published by Mondadori! ❤️🇮🇹

Played my first OTB tournament in 2.5 years last week. Proud of a move I found in the final round, even though several moves win. 24...Bd5! prevented 25.d5 complicating slightly. I saw 25.Bxg4 Rc4 26.Be5 Bxe5+ 27.dxe5 e6 28.Kg3 Ra4 29.Bf3 Rxa2 30.Rxa2 Bxa2 31.Bxb7 a5 -+

Have we ever seen 10-hour days of top-level chess? Now we have. Here’s my story on Freestyle today. www.freestyle-chess.com/news/caruana...

While Gukesh and Arjun were busy in Norway, 25-year-old 🇮🇳 Aravindh entered the World Top 10 for the 1st time after edging out Praggnanandhaa to win the Stepan Avagyan Memorial in Armenia!

2025 has been a tough year so far. After Robert Hübner and Boris Spassky, we now also have to say goodbye to Vlastimil Hort. 😢 My obituary: www.chess.com/news/view/vl...

Chess has been suspended by the Taliban in Afghanistan—the latest in a long history of the royal game being banned for religious reasons!

In yesterday's league game I could answer my opponent's 27.Nd5? with the lovely 27...Qd2! after which 28.Nc3 back was forced. I won with 28...Bxc3 29.bxc3 Qxd1+ 30.Kb3 Rxa2+! and White resigned a few moves later. The engine showed the nice defense 29.Rd7! Bd4! 30.Qxg7+! with a probable draw.

I had a great time talking last week with fellow cognitive scientist and chess master @drcanchess.bsky.social, and you can watch the whole thing! (or listen on Can's "The Chess Cognition Podcast" on your favorite podcast platform)

Last night, Thalia won BBC's Chess Masters: The Endgame. My recap of the series: www.chess.com/news/view/th...

Though they seem to have disappeared from these parts themselves, the Bluesky chess scene (such as it is) was among many interesting topics in the @chessdojo.bsky.social's video/podcast interview with @peterdoggers.bsky.social -- post-Twitter social media is a conundrum. → youtu.be/3q9McttvSFM?...

Fans welcoming Maxime at arrival and giving him reason to smile even more. ‘Who do you play?’ ‘Fabiano.’ ‘Aaah, easy!’ #FreestyleChess

The Weissenhaus resort. Actually an incredible privilege to be working here for the coming week.

Halfway thru, and I can tell you the book is terrific! If you (or someone you know) has interest in the history and culture of #chess, this is the single best volume to have/read.

What's THE CHESS REVOLUTION about? I explained it all during my interview with ChessBase India's Sagar Shah somewhere halfway the #TataSteelChess tournament. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5Rw...

I shared an image earlier of Vasyl Ivanchuk, a player whom I admire immensely, suffering after a loss. If you're not familiar with him, please enjoy his analysis (from memory) after a win at Gibraltar Chess in 2018 Few if any love the game more than he does www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUgv...

Designed this poster in anticipation of World #chess Championship. #DingGukesh sitting at the board, Singapore skyline behind, night sky above. A few pieces in the sky make constellations--Big Dipper, Orion's Belt, Cassiopeia. (media: soft pastel on paper)

A bit late to this, but I really enjoyed the recent Perpetual Chess interview with journalist & longtime chess insider @peterdoggers.bsky.social. His new history of the game, The Chess Revolution, sounds absolutely fantastic podcasts.apple.com/ma/podcast/e...
