Chesstrix

Two rook sacrifices and both turned out to be brilliant (!!) moves! And the “coach” says he didn’t see it comin; although sth tells me he just said to boost my confidence )

When you first join the official FIDE list: Magnus, I am coming for you 😂😆 And you are still unrated :)

So who participated in our chess tournament today at IELTS ZONE? Share some pictures!

There’s literally no one else in the fan zone.

What is this?

So which set of figures do you like better?

Just bought an official FIDE board (with the pieces) used by professional players in official tournaments. The question is where I should keep it. I have too many chess sets at home already.

The comments section was funny 🤣 The doorman had only one job… The doorman: lets see how you handle this opening Must work on door openings Doorman 1 - 0 Magnus Door gambit

I ran into Hikaru today… well, unfortunately Hikauru is not playing in this event, but I found sb who definitely tries to sound like Hikaru.

The picture to end the day. Surrounded by two Nodirbeks :) I hope they can bring back the title to Uzb. P.s. it was right after banquet (big dinner).

⚡️Chess legend Magnus Carlsen is in Uzbek traditional clothing, (To'n, Chapan). Tomorrow is the start of FIDE world rapid and blitz championships. Uzbekistan wishes the best of luck to all players. @alisher_sadullaev

So it is official, I will be in Samarkand from 26 to 29 to watch the biggest chess event of the year in action. I hope I will get to play a game or two with some of you if you are around.

The hotel is booked. Ready to enjoy the rapid portion of the championship.

Next biggest event is going to happen in Samarkand!
