Rick from ‘Chess to Impress’

Pointing at the clock to make the opponent aware that he overstepped the time limit, while there is still a second on the clock. #fideworldcup2025 #chess

Running out of time, because your Rook just runs away from you! 😣 #chess #fideworldcup2025

That’s some skill. Magnus Carlsen resigns by toppling his King. Not by hand, but by fist. ♟️#NorwayChess #Chess

Chess is a cruel game. Ding strikes back in game 12. #GukeshDing #chessworldchampionship

Gukesh’s reaction to Ding’s blunder in game 11. Have never witnessed a head-pump like this at the highest level. #Chess #Fide

Remarkable that Ding has 10 coffee mugs in his restroom. He’s the only one using the room. ☕️ #FIDEWorldChess2024 #Chess

Surprised that nobody put the pieces in the centre of the squares for Game 1 of the World Championship match Gukesh-Ding. Especially pawn f7 looks out of sorts. ♟️#Chess #Fide

Very confused by this Fischer-random starting position. Three Rooks each? #Chess

Great to see the 13th World Champion, Garry Kasparov, back in action at the chessboard in the St Louis Fischer-random event. He still has his famous ‘Kasparov-stare’. 👀 #Chess

If you’ve never ripped up your scoresheet like this, you’re not a real chess player. GM Christopher Yoo in Round 5 of the 2024 US Championships. ♟️#Chess

Duda adds a dimension to adjusting one’s pieces before the game. Swapping the position of his pawns. #Fide #RapidBlitz #Chess

One of the many things GMs/IMs are better at than #chess mortals is: Concentration. These are IM Bodnaruk and GM Koneru before their tiebreak in the 2023 Women’s Rapid World Championships. #Fide

Chess arbiters can be very annoying. Carlsen and Vidit are discussing their game that has just finished. The arbiter thinks that’s the right moment to interfere and setup the pieces. 🙄 #chess #FIDE

Le Quang Liem takes ‘not looking your opponent in the eye when shaking hands’ to a different level. 🤝 #chess #StLouis

Hans Niemann mentioning Caïssa, the goddess of chess. #USChessChamps #Chess

GM Chirila likes Wesley So’s Knight on f3. GM So thinks otherwise. #Chess

Garry Kasparov calculating a King and pawn endgame with his hands against Nakamura! #chess #fischerrandom

Former world #2 Fabiano Caruana asks the question we all ask ourselves #DingNepo #FIDE
