At first, I was heart-warmed that this random guy achieved my favorite Stafford Gambit trap. I assumed he’s probably an avid YouTube viewer. Upon closer look, I realized that’s the world champion 🤯
Just had my longest interview while passing through US customs. As I approached the border agent, he gave me a stern look and said:
“We need to talk. What the hell was h3?”
I had a lot of explaining to do.
My opponent flagged in the following position and the game was declared a draw due to insufficient mating material. Is there any way to appeal
@chesscom
? Black has mate in 3! 😂
Sad to report that I've been down with covid and it’s some of the worst fatigue I’ve felt in my life. While I think I’ve gotten through the worst of it, it's still going to take some time to recover. Hoping to find the energy to get back into chess content soon! Miss you all!
BY GOD THAT'S

Eric Rosen takes down Hikaru Nakamura's win streak with the steel chair! But Nakamura is still leading the tournament with 18 points overall!
Photographing
#carlsennepo
is like taking photos of animals at a zoo.
Sometimes they are motionless.
Sometimes they are playful.
Other times they are absent from their exhibit.
A couple years ago, I took this photo of Magnus (1st pic). It had always bothered me that his head was slightly cut off.
Now, using the new A.I. feature in photoshop to extend the photo (2nd pic) and complete head is pretty mind blowing.
