The 59th @BielFestival is over! These two weeks were amazing, but it's time to home. I'm very grateful for the amazing team we had here, especially my friends @chessborn and Bik. I hope to return to the commentary chair real soon! – at Nidau, Schweiz

"I wasn't getting the invite — so I gave myself one." 😄 Levon Aronian on his first-ever Biel, the skill he'd steal from Liem ("winning in Biel" 🏆), and falling for chess only at 30. #bielchess #chess #aronian

Meet Angelika. She’s not a librarian; she has no idea how to organise a library, and honestly? Neither do we 😅 But she DOES know good merch when she sees it. Check out the full collection on our website: t-shirts, sweaters, a backpack, mugs, a chessboard, and a tote bag. Something for every part of your game.
