We've decided not to renew our hosting so The Chess Pit will, for a while at least, cease to be on your chosen podcast provider. Phil has all the episodes, though, so we'll let you know where we decide to put them soon. Thanks for everything for now! x

Kramnik achieved a positional advantage, but Antipov defended and ultimately won the armageddon! The former world champion left the game with 27 seconds left. chess.com/events/2024-champi… #ChessChamps

Oh no this is terrible to hear. Brave of Ding Liren to speak so openly. Reading about the link between his depression and sleep deprivation, the travel and jet lag of chess must be very difficult. Hope he gets all the help he needs. ❤️

How on earth do you play if you’re Fabi or Nepo this evening? Both need a win and even that might not be enough.

Every scenario is complicated by the possibility that 2nd might be enough again, given Ding’s issues. Ahhhhhhh.

With regard to Epstein, how many chess federation officials do we know stayed at one of his homes? So far we have one confirmed - @ecfchess President Dominic Lawson. Any others?
The Invisible Chess Podcast@unseenchesspod4 Jan 2024
Epstein papers out today You may be surprised* at what the @ecfchess president - you know, the one who insists there's no such thing as sexism in chess - had to say about Epstein back in 2011. * You will not, in fact, be surprised. Hat tip - @ejhchess
