As an out trans sportswoman, I can no longer get a visa to travel to the USA, because Republicans think I have an unfair biological advantage. My sport? Chess.

Haven’t these children suffered enough?

Burned out from this game right now, probably from having to repeatedly play people 200+ points higher. Another loss today to a kid who’s gained like 150 in four months. No fun.

Insta has finally learned I’m into chess and now I’m getting advertised some of the most ostentatious and ugly rich-guy sets known to humanity.

New ratings day means I get to update my bio. Now gained 61 ECF and 104 FIDE in last two months. Trust the process, etc.

As an almost pathologically non-competitive guy who thinks the worst part of chess is that you have to defeat another person, I welcome a split title. It’s between the players and I’m happy they’re happy.

As someone who remembers the PCA/FIDE debacle and whose other passion (g*lf) is stranded in a years-long civil war, let me tell you: splits *suck* and the people who lose out the most are fans.

Ju Wenjun is playing Tan Zhongyi (!) but no, we have to listen to the CHESS DAVOS guy talking about his Wall Street Journal article

For a while I imagined FIDE might at last run a tournament with positions streamed accurately and lag-free. Maybe next year.

On the beers all day, then arrived at my club to find NO ONE had heard of bughouse. Fun was had.
