This will be a series of tweets where I will recommend chess book titles for adult improvers, typically ratings below 2000 (still a wide range).
Both my @chessable courses on the Leningrad and Tromp are on sale. Yes they were published a while ago,but I keep updating them and questions get answered within 24 hours. These are good if you are not so much into the latest trends but truly want to improve your level
I remember I was there in Linares, following the amazing post-mortems against Adams and Kasimdzhanov and then the Topalov upset and suddenly the press conference where I got to ask a question (answer was Magnus)
20 years! I played my last game as a chess pro and announced my retirement on March 10 2005 in my beloved Linares. If anything, I've been even busier since, with human rights, books, AI, and best of all, my beautiful family. Thank you all for joining me! en.chessbase.com/post/throwback…
An interview with me was posted today and a childhood friend I haven't talked to in 40 years commented, I hope he will contact me! youtube.com/watch?v=yq4spI…
After everything that happened I think we need a break and enjoy: instagram.com/p/DFgYpxQvlCP/…

I went to @tatasteelchess today and talked to Gukesh, Abdusattorov, Giri, Keymer, Caruana, Kasimdzhanov, Leko, L"Ami, Lucas van Foreest, Bok and Sagar Shah! Some of the results you can see on @MarkTWIC site and the rest...will remain a secret!
I wrote the Anand files, now we have the @DGukesh files, go watch it for free on the youtube of @ChessbaseIndia : youtube.com/watch?v=op8eFn…
I know it's a bit early to draw conclusions on the entire match, but it seems that Gukesh' team has not delivered sufficient ideas for an entire match
Gukesh taking his time to accept that today there is no way to avoid a draw
Just tuning in now and seriously worried that Gukesh has lost the plot
Something must have gone horribly wrong in Gukesh' team prep if you look at what happened today. #chesspunks #DingGukesh #CHESS
A quick summary of todays draw in the Wch: I am looking forward to tomorrow's game😀! Are you also going to watch? #chess #chesspunk #DingGukesh
