The nicest chess player ive ever met and a huge inspiration to everyone who had the honor to meet him and watched his streams
One year ago today we got the heart breaking news of danyas passing he was one of the nicest people ive ever met and it was an honor to be able to meet him in person and have the conversations we did Danya inspired so many young players we will forever miss you danya
If chess is a simple game please explain why it hasn't been solved its a lot of memory and pattern recognition and calculation at the top level we use stockfish and other powerful engines thats the closest we have so maybe you can improve it make an Ai that solves it

I finally found the time to watch @GMJuditPolgar queen of chess it was an amazing documentary and very inspiring to many i highly suggest you watch it if you haven't
One of my biggest inspirations for chess GM Jan Timman authored one of the first chess books I ever read and he was overall a great person I'm really upset I never got to meet him A true legend and hero of chess rest your soul you will forever be in the chess hall of fame
I somewhat agree with what Magnus said because yes he is right Hikaru is busy he does have a child on the way and he playing tournaments because this will be his last time playing the candidates Hikaru is a good player and the 40 games to qual not needed he been #2 for years now
This is what @MagnusCarlsen had to say about @GMHikaru and his race towards qualifying for the FIDE Candidates Tournament 2026 in the press conference for the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour Finals at Capetown, South Africa. Here's the full quote:
"The fact that Nakamura is going around playing these, as he calls it himself, referring to something I said many years ago, Mickey Mouse tournaments in order to qualify for the candidates, in order to play the 40 games that are required by FIDE. I think that's absolutely- it's wild. It's insane, why would you require somebody who's very clearly good enough to play in the candidates, why would you require him to play these tournaments which he doesn't really have time for? Well, you want to have the best players in the candidates and he's clearly one of them."
