  1. Had a fun date yesterday 😊

    She beat me, badly, and sat at the table next to me laughing madly when a 6 year old boy gleefully dominated me for four games in a row.

  3. The latest Russian attacks on Ukrainian city of Kherson have destroyed the Kherson Chess Club. The only FIDE Presidential candidate to issue a statement so far is German, Jan Heinrich Buettner (the others are Russian toadys).

    "Chess teaches us that even the fiercest of contests are governed by rules and respect. War reminds us of the terrible consequences when those principles are abandoned."

  12. FIDE (the World Chess Federation) deadline for Presidential candidates closes soon.

    The current President, Arkady Dvorkovich has stepped aside from his role due to the fact he has been sanctioned by the EU.

    Others interested in Fide's top spot include Timur Turlov, Kazakhstan billionaire, who has been sanctioned by Ukraine for dealing in Russia after the war had started. His company has been accused of manipulating markets and fabricating revenues.

    Also ex-president Kirsan Illyumzhinov, the shady Russian oligarch, and ex leader of the province of Kalmykia. He was under US sanctions for supporting Russian intervention in Syria, leading to the Assad takeover.

    Anyone thinking FIFA or the IOC have a monopoly on sports administrative corruption need only look at chess.

  15. So, Anna Cramling thought she had invented another new opening, a sibling to her very defensive Cow opening, which she called the Bull. Made a video about it. Well, it turns out that the video was bull, as the Bull was already in existence as the Beaver's Claw, invented by someone else.

    I just don't know what to say about this. Talk amongst yourselves.
