@GMastrokoukos @ChessProblem @ChessBase I was in Batumi and Chennai, we can discuss it over, just want to mention that presenting someone as „person of the day” is a harmless courtesy not a political support

It's always nice to run into one of the legends of chess @LevAronian!

@ChessProblem Hehe

Congratulations @Meyer_Dunker ! Lets rebuild chess Europe 🇪🇺 together 🇩🇪🇵🇱

@HansMokeNiemann Congratulations Hans!

The atmosphere in Warsaw was truly special. Countless enthusiastic young fans, it’s clear Poland will only improve as a chess country. And a final thank you to the Grand Chess Tour for their hospitality. It was an honor to participate, thank you for your support!

@MarcinMozdzonek @JanWysocki17 Pan nie jest tym wybitnym siatkarzem?

In my previous post, I shared my story and what shaped me as a person. That experience directly affects how I make decisions and how I build my business. Today, I work across more than 70 countries. Over the years, I’ve lived and worked in places like Germany, Switzerland, the UAE, the USA, and Singapore. It changes the way you see the world. You stop thinking in terms of one country and start looking at people, opportunities, and responsibility. My career started in 2009 at @thyssenkrupp in Germany. From the beginning, I worked in international logistics, including projects connected to Ukraine and Russia. For many years, both were part of my work. We built partnerships, worked with international clients, and developed operations on the ground. After 2022, the way we operate changed. All projects connected to Ukraine were stopped. We also stopped taking on any new projects related to Russia. Because of the sanctions, key functions, including IT systems, data exchange, and operational control, cannot be managed from Europe. As a result, these operations are handled locally, independently and under responsibility of the local management — this is how the majority of international companies operate in the current environment. I’m not involved in managing these operations. Under the existing regulatory framework, selling or liquidating such entities is not straightforward and requires approvals that are difficult to obtain in practice. I work within international rules, I follow the law, and I make decisions based on the reality we’re in. But my approach to business hasn’t been shaped by work alone. Chess has had a big influence on it. Chess teaches you to think a few steps ahead, to make decisions under pressure, and to take responsibility for them. It’s simple: every move has consequences. That mindset is something I brought into my business. I don’t build my business around countries or nationalities. I build it around people. What matters to me is people who can think, take responsibility, and deliver results. Where someone comes from doesn’t matter. What matters is what they can do and how they work. I invest where I see real potential and long-term value, not quick wins. For me, chess is not just a game - it’s a tool for thinking, learning, and development. That’s why I believe chess should be part of the school system, not as an optional activity, but as something built into education. Because chess is not about pieces on a board - it’s about how a child learns to think, understand consequences, make decisions, and take responsibility for them. These are basic skills that shape how people live and work later on, and the earlier a child is exposed to this, the stronger that foundation becomes. There are a lot of assumptions about my background and my involvement in chess. Let me be clear: everything I do in chess is based on my own ideas and long-term projects. It has nothing to do with replacing any previous sponsors. As for identity, I have one citizenship - German. That’s how I define myself. At the same time, my experience comes from living and working in different countries, with different people and different systems. That’s why, for me, one thing matters: respect and opportunity shouldn’t depend on nationality. Chess is one of the clearest examples of how people from different countries can interact and grow on equal terms, and I believe this should apply not only in sport, but also in business. The world is complicated right now. There are a lot of conflicts and contradictions, but there are things that shouldn’t change: - Respect for people, - Responsibility for your decisions, - Keeping your word, no matter the circumstances. That’s my position. And that’s how I make decisions, both in business and in chess.

That dog’s been waiting his whole life for this to happen. Good dog.

I’m on X because chess politics will be my main focus in the coming months. Yesterday was the deadline for ECU Board election tickets. Today we sent an open letter raising concerns about the electoral environment and calling for transparency, equal conditions and no interference.

We are happy to introduce the beginning of a new chapter for women in chess – the WR Women’s Chess Tour! This initiative is inspired by the 12th Women’s World Chess Champion, Alexandra Kosteniuk, and supported by the 13th Women’s World Chess Champion, Hou Yifan, two leading figures in modern chess. A global system. A unified calendar. Qualification open to all. Year-round competition. We are building a global system that promotes women in chess. We are ready to invest, organize, and develop it sustainably. Mark your calendars for the inaugural events of the WR Chess Women’s Tour 2026: •Asia: June 5-8, 2026 •The Americas: June 30 -July 3, 2026 •Africa: August 20-23, 2026 •Europe: August 24-27, 2026 Followed by the Grand Final at the end of the year. The specific locations will be announced at a later stage. The total prize fund for the 2026 Tour is $200,000. If a country wishes to host one of the five tournaments next year 2027, please send me a direct message. This is not a short-term project. Nothing like this has existed in a truly global format. We are making a change right now! We invite top women streamers and all those who want to support women in chess to reach out and join this initiative. The more support it receives, the stronger it becomes – for all of us. Let’s build it together! Visit the link below for more information and tournament regulations. wr-chess.com/news/wr-women-…

@JD_poker Przeciąganie gry to wielkie dziadostwo, które w pokerze krytykowane jest od co najmniej 20 lat. Wprowadzenie mierzenia czasu na zagranie nie jest czymś kosztownym. W szachach w XIX wieku wprowadzenie systemu zajęło ok 50 lat

@Buckarobanza Putin obiecał dostarczanie Ukrainie bardzo taniego prądu. Oczywiście z zajętej Zaporoskiej Elektrowni Jądrowej.

@JD_poker Następny Andy Beal zawitał do pokera :)

@mszkolnikowski Jedyna szansa na LM to nabicie punktów w lidze konferencji i wejście z urzędu z 10 miejsca w rankingu bez konieczności grania z kimkolwiek meczów kwalifikacyjnych.

@Buckarobanza Zastanawiałem się skąd znam tą twarz, a to Sir Mullich :)

MŚ w skokach: Takiego tłumaczenia należało się spodziewać. Zawodnicy o niczym nie wiedzieli i niczego się nie domyślali. Trefne kombinezony podłożyli im źli trenerzy celem budowania własnej kariery. Dobre żarty 😂

Skoczkowie narciarscy, którzy dopuścili się oszustw powinni otrzymać regulaminowe 2 lata bezwzględnej dyskwalifikacji. Nie trenerzy czy serwisanci polerujący narty.
