@lichess The Russian Agricultural Bank was sanctioned by the EU in August 2022. Ideally do not transmit their tournaments, but at least do not advertise their logo.

Now imagine if America’s allies in 2001 had rushed to shake hands with Bin Laden with the same joy and excitement. That’s exactly what it looks like today.

Big feature from Politico on how Russia is using chess to further its occupation of Ukraine “FIDE has turned a blind eye,” @phchess.bsky.social added. “This is not about children playing chess; it’s about Russia institutionalizing occupation through sport.” www.politico.eu/article/how-...

Magnus Carlsen hated homework and blossomed when he no longer had to go to school. Today, he plays chess according to a new set of rules and is engaged in an ongoing battle with the World Chess Federation. What is driving him? @spiegel.de www.spiegel.de/internationa...

19 people were killed yesterday by Russia when they attacked a children playground in Kryvyi Rih yesterday. 9 of them were kids. The whole country mourns and cries. RIP to all of the victims. We will never forget or forgive. youtu.be/YHmYqs7L4KU?...

This is Trump's guy in charge of negotiations with Russia about security in Europe. Mind-boggling level of naivety.

Karjakin just posted a video of how Belarus leader Lukasjenko was greeted in the Russian federal Council. In Lithuania we see Lukasjenko as a dictator, and honor their imprisoned opposition. This picture is painted on the wall opposite the Belarus embassy in Vilnius.

This narrative must change. Trump has not paused military aid to Ukraine because of a bad meeting, but because of disagreement about the political substance. Trump wants Ukraine to surrender, and he thinks this step will do the job.

Talking with @phchess.bsky.social during the Keymer-Carlsen match was fun. At least for one of us. We talked about Freestyle Chess, preparation on the golf course and swindling in chess. The @spiegel.de -Interview: www.spiegel.de/sport/schach...

The tireless and relentless attacks on FIDE and Putin's chess lackeys from @phchess.bsky.social are a) the only thing that provides some hope for the chess world, and b) the main reason to still check out chess Twitter. Keep it up, Peter!
