- Congrats to @LudwigAhgren not for his record-breaking subathon but for getting me into a branded hoodie. Newly minted member of Mogul Moves. Hey friend, quick question — have any extra!? My mom wants one.
- As I just said on air, so much respect for Ian Nepomniachtchi. Answering every question following a loss like that? Really something, considering most would run away. Amazing player having a rough stretch on the biggest stage, and extremely gracious after that defeat.
- A new way to experience the most prestigious event in chess. Tomorrow, I make a Mogul Move.
- Ding Liren earned the World Championship by demonstrating courage as defined by Ernest Hemingway: grace under pressure. Amiable and humble off the board, Ding showed true brilliance and class throughout the match. Massive congratulations!!!!
- The biggest congratulations to @MagnusCarlsen for winning his fifth World Championship match!! It’s always an honor to cover greatness, and Magnus continues to leave no doubt that he’s the best player in the world. We all are fortunate to see Magnus compete.
- It’s a true honor to coach the @USChess team at the upcoming #ChessChennai2022 Olympiad. But first, I’m very excited to head to Mumbai for the match between @anishgiri and @viditchess. Thanks so much to @ChessbaseIndia @sagarchess1 for allowing me to celebrate chess with India!
- Found me a job that makes me smile and think - it’s the perfect combination!
- I refuse to work with this man @chesscomI can’t believe I am saying this, but Canadian bagels are better than New York City ones. They are smaller, chewier, and do not make you feel gross after eating.
- Massive congratulations to Nodirbek Abdusattorov!! The Uzbek wunderkind defeated his co-leaders and is the deserved World Rapid Champion, youngest in history. Kasimdzhanov inspired a nation, and Nodirbek demonstrated that like Firouzja he’s not just the future: he’s the present!
