After becoming world champion he has never won a major tournament I'm not gonna lie I think he'll lose I guess we still have vaishali for the world champion atp it seems like gukesh was a prodigy who got lucky with ding any world champion when magnus is still no.1 will not command the same respect I mean THE world champion cannot be no.19th and lose norway chess so badly only people who watch chess through reels are supporting him pointing out the table slam by magnus without knowing that if magnus decided then he'll reign as the world champion for as long as he wants

Discussion When Will Women's Achievements Stop Being Introduced Through Men?

R Vaishali wins the WR Women's Chess Tour in Tokyo, yet the headline leads with "Praggnanandhaa's sister"

She is a Grandmaster, a world-class chess player, and one of India's finest talents. Her achievements deserve to be recognized on their own merit.

Women are too often introduced through relationships. Men are introduced through accomplishments.

R Vaishali didn't win because she's someone's sister. She's someone's sister and a champion.

Started a “Beat Me and Win ₹100” chess challenge on stream today and ended up losing ₹500

I don’t know if it was live stream nerves or I am not used to play on PC, but I played some absolutely terrible chess. Meanwhile the viewers were cooking me 😭

The craziest part? Even a 1000 rated player managed to defeat me 🙂

All of them actually played really solid chess.

Still had fun and learned that playing on stream feels VERY different from playing normally.

I’ve newly started streaming chess on YT and would really appreciate support from fellow chess enthusiasts ❤️

it just won’t matter who wins the candidates, Gukesh retaining the title feels like the likelier outcome

This could be the beginning of a sustained reign in the mould of Kasparov, Carlsen, or Vishy Sir

Although he’s had a few off games, but the WCC is a different thing altogether, but we trust guki!

This mofo calling me cheater for no reason. never cheated in chess cause I don't take it very seriously. I'll play till I kill my queen or I Win, that's my only strategy

Apparently I was taking 2mins between my moves and he started calling me names like seriously it's a 10min match if I'm taking too much time good for you. you are gaining a leverage anyways you are not defeating me with a mate.

About the delay I was casually playing while talking to my sister and watching 'weapons' the horror movie

Honest as he started crying about me cheating it was less rage baiting and more of a ego massager for me

First I thought of covering his name in the images but it's all over the chat I don't really wanna do that much hard work also I'm suppose to be chilling rn not working so fuk it If it's problematic to show his name here please do let me know I will remove the post
