National titles are on the line as America’s best chess players compete in Saint Louis for the U.S. & U.S. Women’s Championships. 🇺🇸❤️🔥 From October 11-24, see 24 players across both tournaments (fields below) fight for more than a $402,000 prize fund. 🔥 Can Caruana and Yip defend their titles?👀

This image is from the 2700chess.com site. Yes, it's what you believe. @MagnusCarlsen and I are playing a private classical match. If the chess community or some generous billionaire can come up with $1M US we will split the funds and release the PGNs. Any takers?

10 years ago, I dropped a ceremonial puck at a @FlaPanthers home game for a mediocre team. It's been amazing to see the journey all the way to the top and winning the Stanley Cup!!!

Robert: "Does it build confidence in you that you can beat Magnus a couple times in a row, especially as you head into the Candidates later this year?
Alireza: "Not really!" 😎

Very very proud of newest GM Woodward and looking forward to seeing him rise amongst the ranks of American GMs!

The world of chess I grew up in was so, so different. Probably 90% of people who follow chess now would think these are from another planet.

"I will not say the truth; I will say something close to the truth..."
What is the most unusual place @AlirezaFirouzja has played chess? What role does opening preparation play in his strategy for the #FIDEGrandSwiss, and how does he adapt to his opponents' style?

Q. Where do you get the energy to go back to your room (after a tough day of chess) and record a recap of the game? It must be super tiring.
Hikaru Nakamura: "I mean at the end of the day, there are a lot of fans who enjoy the recaps, my commentary. Certainly no body else in the world can do what i do. I think it's just the motivation, the inspiration fans draw from hearing my thoughts in the game. That keeps me going more than anything else. I think they enjoy it"
