One of the best parts of teaching chess to kids is seeing how excited they get when they find a checkmate. The joy on their faces is priceless!
Who came up with the format for the Blitz World Championship in NYC?
In the final round of the tournament, the top four boards agreed to draws after just a few seconds. Every chess player I spoke to expressed dissatisfaction with this format. Hopefully, Fide will reconsider it!

Looking back, I never could've imagined that 14 years after winning the Asian Continental Championship in 2010, I would be fortunate enough to be here with another gold medal but this time from the American Continental Championship! So grateful!
@GMHikaru 🙏

Most of the time "I literally don't care," but this time I definitely do and I'm extremely proud of my wife for winning the Continental Championship and qualifying for the FIDE Womens World Cup! Congrats @AtousaChess
