This makes sense. Just about the only thing you can't do with the Lichess API is make a UI for playing games, and that's for obvious reasons (someone could build one that makes cheating easy). If you trust Take Take Take not to do that, then this is really nbd. lichess.org/@/Lichess/bl...

This is a good test for Sindarov. I'm pretty sure Magnus could win this.

The handcrafted chess sets are going to be SO expensive

Javokhir Sindarov

Fischer, Kasparov, Carlsen, Sindarov

If Sindarov scores at least 10 points in this tournament then he should get to bypass Gukesh and play a match against Magnus Carlsen.

I wonder how Nodirbek Abdusattorov feels, watching this tournament.

Oh man. I know this feeling.

My opponent when I play 4. Nxf7 in the Cochrane Gambit

Has anyone asked Bluebaum if his hair does that naturally or if it takes work, and if so, how long it takes?

Nakamura vs. Sindarov has a wild opening I've never seen before.

I just heard the announcement that April Fool’s day has been cancelled

I’m at the Bobby Fischer center in Selfoss, Iceland. Someone should do cartoons like this for modern chess games e.g. Fabi vs. Hikaru yesterday

Here’s where I’m playing chess this week.

On our way to the Reykjavík Open

A well-timed pawn break

Showing Lazy Sunday (2005) to my daughter who was born in 2012.

Football players will wear short sleeves when it’s 15 degrees outside but most of the baseball players in this game are wearing long sleeves. They’re in a domed stadium where it’s probably 72 degrees.

Guess the opening

Apparently the Rosen Score website doesn't give you a trophy for "Oh No My Queen" if you sac your queen for mate but your opponent resigns, so I need you all to reply with the trophy emoji for this blitz game I just played lichess.org/SkOmdEzRNWib

Have the "don't obsess about your chess rating" people considered that obsessing about your chess rating gives you the thrill of gambling without the possibility of losing your house? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

if you are a chess person, what youtube channels do you enjoy aside from gotham chess, if you have watched all of gotham chess for your nightly video choice?

A blunder from a recent blitz game. One thing I’ve noticed is that the vast majority of bishop skewers and pins that I walk into happen when my opponent hast just one bishop, which means I can avoid them by being aware of what color square my pieces are on.

New Lichess4545 team name idea

Making an automated chess coach that gives useful commentary on your games is a really, really hard problem.

This is your periodic reminder that the US tried year-round daylight savings time in 1974 and it was such a disaster that Congress changed it back after 9 months. www.businessinsider.com/us-tried-yea...

Yeah because they haven’t thought through the implications.

In about 17,000 games on Lichess, this blitz game from 2021 is the only time I've ever gotten en passant checkmate. lichess.org/aWcIgpn6/bla...

Gonna tell my kids this is Boden’s mate

This site is amazing youraislopbores.me

That’s not true. But the reason Bobby Fischer no-showed the 1975 world chess championship was it would have required him to do an interview with Chotiner.

QGD at the weekly club game last night. In this structure I want to play ...c5 but I need to make sure I have a good place for my queen. I played 11...Ne4 with the plan of having the Q end up on e7 one way or another.

Just registered for ALTO in Charlotte April 10 to 12. It’ll be my 8th. www.charlottechesscenter.org/events/alto

New peak Lichess classical

I was listening to a Spotify playlist of the top hits of 1991 and every song was total crap except this one.

Thinking about planning a reunion of people who were active on chess Twitter in 2022

From my weekly club game. White to move, mate in 4.

I’m honestly puzzled how speed skating became a thing. You need an ice rink that’s larger than a football field and only two people can use it at a time.

My dad gets @theonion.com in print and sent me this

Chess is the perfect board game

I’ve been watching TV and taking notes.

I'm extremely impressed with the head games Hikaru is playing with his Candidates opponents. Is he really going to play all the stuff he says here? How do you prep against this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHFy...

Anyone seen Chess the Musical? I’m listening to the album and I don’t hear anything about chess

I’ve been having fun beating the Dutch with this h4-h5-h6 plan. (they resigned because they hung their bishop but it’s a crushing advantage anyway)

Who's in the mood for Magnus vs. Hans

Elo

Why are their backgrounds almost exact mirror images but not quite?

My least-favorite chess broadcast tradition is the commentators guessing about what's really happening as technical issues plague the transmission of moves
