The most unususal chess sponsorship at the chess Olympiad? In 2002, the Australian teams were sponsored by a condom/rubber maker called Ansell who had a product called Chekmate. A clever joke idea by breakfast time DJ @adambspencer became a reality. #chess #ChessOlympiad

Going to see @DebbieGibson in concert in a few hours. I-remember when @MickeyAdamsGM was carrying around a Debbie Gibson cassette at Wijk a Zee in the 80s. My future wife only discovered Debbie when a visitor from Cornwall visited Sydney for chess in 1988 #chess #Coincidence

I need @ben_finegold to help me. I always thought certain chess players were called fish in the USA because they were weak. However, in Europe players are taking it as a compliment online because they think their opponent is saying they play like Stockfish! #chess #stockfish
