I asked Magnus Carlsen about the Chess GOAT. He wasn’t having it. 😂

One of my biggest flexes is that I'm followed on Twitter by the Chess World Champion AND the World Champion Challenger. 👑😎 I have great respect for both, especially because of how they carry themselves as people. They are great ambassadors to the game. ❤️♟️

At Norway Chess I asked Vaishali’s mother if she would like to play a game of chess on the big board. She kindly said no. 🤣
THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD NOW! Nagalakshmi Ji, Mother of Vaishali ❤️🥹

Reply with something you want to ask or tell Sindarov. I’ll pick the top few to show him tomorrow, and record his reaction.

Some great questions so far but many of them have been covered in interviews/press conferences already. Give me something spicy. 🌶️

Javokhir & Bibisara would beat Magnus & Ella Carlsen in bughouse. No question. ♟️
Talk about a chess power couple, right? 🥺 #fidecandidates

BTW, Chessbase India puts out so much high quality content. They're first to everything. They meant very well with the question. It was funny. Sindarov laughed as he answered it. They also interviewed Sindarov as a young boy, way before his success.

Bibisara has a chance to do something WILD tomorrow. 🫨 Imagine the power couple status that comes with BOTH players playing the World Championship match. That’s a Netflix documentary & rom-com the chess world would eat up. 🤩
Mr. and Mrs. Candidates CHAMPION 🥰🤌🏻

Sindarov got tired of playing CounterStrike during Covid so he decided to train hard & win the Candidates. 🤣😂

LLMs aren’t necessarily “bad at chess.” They just have no rule engine. Give them the full list of legal moves only, and they suddenly play like a decent club player. The general chess knowledge is there and easy to improve on. The lack of guardrails just make it unusable.
"Large language models (LLMs) are bad at chess. And yet, as a three-time National Chess Champion, I love to play against them," writes Jennifer Shahade time.com/article/2026/04/13/…

Hans is truly doing a lot to grow chess.
I appreciate the positive feedback, chess must evolve. I'm hosting 2 more matches in the same format end of May and hope that more organizers take notice.

If Anish loses and Sindarov wins, the race will be mathematically over.

Who/What is the chess equivalent of this man?
Tom Brown, a retired engineer, dedicated 25 years to preserving approximately 1,200 apple varieties from extinction.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While this story is true, this photo has been ever so slightly edited with AI which might make me people question its authenticity. Here you can see the apple varieties written cleanly, with no AI interference. x.com/rainmaker1973/…

Hikaru gets endless negativity online. Every mistake of his will be magnified by haters. But this video of young Raziq should remind us that for every critic, there's someone finding joy and inspiration in what Hikaru's done for chess.
12-year-old Raziq Qisti from 🇲🇾 Malaysia, a chess fan with ASD, and a participant in FIDE’s Infinite Chess Project, has a dream: to one day play against 🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura. In a video message, he told Hikaru that he wants to be like him! We showed the video to Hikaru — and his response was heartwarming. He said he is incredibly grateful for his fans, and that without them, he may have quit chess in 2019. ❤️♟️ #FIDECandidates #Chess #FIDE #Cyprus
