Hoy se ha publicado mi curso en @chessable @chessable_: Mi primer repertorio de aperturas: Defensa Escandinava. Simple y eficaz, ¡la apertura más fácil para empezar contra 1.e4! 👉 Aprovecha el descuento de lanzamiento!
I didn't know that Team Carlsen prepared the Grunfeld for the match against Caruana.
The more you use AI, the more time you need to spend to review what it came up with.
A gentle reminder that tomorrow, our first joint @chessable @chesscom course (with @DDvirnyy) Tick-Tock: Winning Decisions Under Pressure is coming out. It's the first Chessable course on time-management. Simply unmissable!
Happy birthday to the legendary Judit Polgar! She shares the birthday with my grandfather, so it's easy to remember!
If you thought Ivanchuk was one and only, thing again. There is Iwanczuk, too.
Checking the games in the latest Twic and looking at all the summer tournaments I used to play, now a slaughterhouse for rating points of the favourites. I would like to go back to some of them one day, but perhaps not as a player.
Como suena esto? Producido por GPT para ser mas "clickable" (juego de palabras intencionado). 🚀 Mañana se estrena uno de los 3 cursos de @chessable_es @chessable @chesscom que grabé a finales de mayo: 🎯 «Mi primer repertorio con negras: la Escandinava» 🔥 Domina 1…d5 y…
Happy International Chess Day! One of the rare days in the year when I take a break from chess to celebrate chess!
In the beginning, we play the moves "we want to", at higher levels first we take in all the information and then decide. Chess develops this habit very effectively.
Most people are reluctant to take in information that is inconsistent with what they have already concluded. When I ask why, a common answer is: "I want to make up my own mind." These people seem to think that considering opposing views will somehow threaten their ability to…
The latest review of my @chessable @chesscom 1.d4 Simplified. Lazy is good! "A true gem of a course. I used to think these simplified courses were lazy so decided to buy one. I own about a dozen courses on 1. d4 and would consider myself an expert in it (2000 ECF, 2500 chesscom…
"Everything new is something old, well forgotten." - Baudelaire. I don't think Levon would like this quote, though.
@LevAronian is the name of the new superpower.😉 Amazing performance.
As they say, perhaps we should do this again sometime?
Yes! That was the most challenging part, but also the most entertaining.
It was a very fun experience to record such a unique course! Together with the @chessable team and @GMAlexColovic we are very excited to share our thinking process under pressure!
One phone call, a chat in a bar. Then one thing led to another and in one week the fruit of our joint efforts will see the light of day! Together with @DDvirnyy we made the @chessable @chesscom course Tick-Tock: Winning Decisions Under Pressure - out on 25 July!

The detox holiday was a great success. I fully restored my sleep, which was the number 1 priority. Now I need to be careful not to mess it up again...
A major announcement: starting tomorrow, I'm off to a one-week complete electronics and social media detox. Wish me luck!
I have to retweet myself because the first time it didn't get enough exposure: "Even Carlsen can play like a chicken when he needs a draw. Luckily for him, his chicken mode is good enough. For the rest of us, it isn't."
When nobody else has a great performance, my B-game is usually enough. Always striving for more though!

The torture has begun, aka Grandmaster training. The 5 (without the first and last one) took me more than an hour. I got some of it right, but inevitably missed important moves in the variations. Hope you have a better day.
