Magnus Carlsen and NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo teamed up to read mean tweets!♟️🏀
At one point, Giannis even had to ask Magnus whether a photo of him was real, or AI or Photoshop! 😂
📸 Well, here's a throwback from the Grand Chess Tour three years ago!
Do you remember Magnus rocking this look? 👀♟️

A wonderful moment at the @FIDE_chess Excellence Gala in Samarkand. I was honored to accept the Best Comeback award on behalf of GM Levon Aronian. Even more special to receive it from an old friend, GM Nigel Short.
@LevAronian - will get you the award soon! It's safe and sound and made the trip back in one piece.

From my book on my 1973-1985 games. "I never again had such a triumphal year as 1980: I became a grandmaster and I won four gold medals – three championship medals plus one for the successful completion of my schooling!"
