Firouzja is on his own. Was it money? Fashion? For whatever reason, for the third time in a row France won't have its top chess talent at the FIDE Olympiad. worldchess.com/news/firouzj...

United minds, they are not. A nice little Cold War is brewing before the 2026 World Chess Championship match. worldchess.com/news/we-are-...

Betteridge's Law applies in all forms of journalism, even chess.

Well, it is an election year...

It's been a good weekend. #prouddad

Sindarov. This is ridiculous now. #FIDECandidates

I get the impression Hikaru has gone to the Candidates intent on stirring the pot at every opportunity. I've got no objection to that! #FIDECandidates

Why watch footie when you can watch this. Pure tension. #fidecandidates

Yes. You hate to admit it (normally I wouldn't opt for the official stream), but this time FIDE are knocking it out of the park. Peter and Jan, the dream duo.
