3 Fun Facts about Mikhail Chigorin

Chigorin won a 2 game match, played by Telegraph with a time control of three days per move, against Steinitz . The match took place from October 1890 to April 1891.

The strong Russian player Emmanuel Schiffers became Chigorin's teacher early on in his career.

Both of Chigorin's World Championship matches took place in the same city: Havana, Cuba.

ok so are we actually mad at magnus for wearing pants — jeans, and then refusing to take off his clothes for one round? like we cant possibly think that suspending him is at all proportional or sane, esp given the context of big conglomerate fide exploiting their monopoly to crush independent organizing and coerce players out of branching out. esp when they're not even paid enough for the clout and power they give fide. like cmon guys. am i missing something??

[bhavya-thescribbler]

I have plans for this AU, yeah yeah, it's still them, maybe you guys don't care about it as much as me (I'm the one who make it after all), but the idea and their dynamic in it really give me alot of ideas, even for Errorcore itself.

Huge fan of this camera angle.

Also a fan of Gukesh's face when I screenshot this

so let me get this right, magnus carlsen was not allowed to play his game because he came in jeans and refused to change, and then when he was allowed to resume again the next day he turned up in jeans just to make a point and then he tied and suggested sharing the world championship title with ian nepo and hugged it out after ? that's just y/n I don't know what else to tell you

Ding Liren I will always love the part of the game where you burn 40 minutes nudging a rook

3 Fun Facts about José Raúl Capablanca

He was briefly enrolled at Columbia University, before dropping out to focus on chess.

As part of his travels to the San Sebastian tournament in 1911, Capablanca sailed aboard the Lusitania, the ship which was sunk a few years later during the First World War.

Capablanca lost to a young Mikhail Botvinnik in a simul in 1925

gift for @p3ld

World Chest Championship AU with Corry and Error Sans is quite inspiring!

tbh i want to see more content on this

[suplexenjoyer]

Magnus and Nepo decided to share the title after drawing 3 tie break games in a row.

Friendship wins!

Personally, I think its a little silly, I think they shouldve played it out. But if the players and the federation are cool with it then I dont have much of a problem with it.

Fucking hell FIDE, what a way to end the year, with another fuckwitted decision that makes chess worse for everyone involved. A decision making body with less intelligence than two rocks taped together. A federation doing battle like a pigeon flying straight into a car window. An organisation with the ability to die on any hill so long as the hill is a pile of shit that smells bad. Gormless organisation. Completely without gorm.

You've lost your star player over a pair of jeans for chrissakes. Hurr durr you might say, Magnus Carlsen didn't follow the clothing rule, he should have been disqualified for round 9. The rule is stupid. And here's the great thing about being the body (FIDE) that comes up with stupid arbitrary rules - you can be the one to change them or apply them when necessary. And the rule was made (no jeans during the tournament) to make the players and therefore chess look smart, and by enforcing it in this way you look like complete lunatics.

You think Magnus is going to play in any more FIDE tournaments after this? Pull the other one. No chance now after the other shit you pulled this year, especially with the Freestyle chess tournaments. Bunch of knobheads.

Although late but yeah.

Arranging both colour chess pieces, a small prayer, unbridled pent-up emotions and final, gentle push to the chair.. a 18 yr old, humble champ with his feet firmly on earth. He should go a long way

[p3ld]

Yeh no

I can do M3

Magnus won the rapid portion of Tata Steel India! He hopes to win the blitz portion too
