At the opening of #superchessclassicromania, Anish Giri had only one important question: Are these chess pieces actually made of real gold and silver? ✨🙂 To be fair… when the event is at the National Bank of Romania, anything suddenly feels possible. ♟️🥇💰 In this event, the players will fight for a total purse of $475,000. #chess #chesspieces #gold #GarryKasparov

An unusual incident took place in Round 2 of the Super Rapid & Blitz during the game between D Gukesh and Hans Niemann. After making his move, Gukesh accidentally knocked several pieces over on the board. According to the current regulations, Hans was awarded an extra minute on the clock. What makes the story even more ironic is that Hans had asked about this exact scenario during the technical meeting before the event. Many fans also remembered a similar incident involving Magnus Carlsen at the World Rapid & Blitz Championship in Doha, where the rules were different and Magnus was actually forfeited. So what do you think the rule should be in situations like this?🤔 • Add 1 minute to the opponent’s clock? • Immediate forfeit? • Something else? #grandchesstour #SuperRapidBlitzPoland #chess

Levon Aronian was asked if he ever tried to take advantage of playing against someone older by dragging out a drawish position just to tire them out. Levon: "You are mixing me out with somebody who just became a dad. By the way, congratulations to Magnus!" #grandchesstour

The game ended… but not for Alireza & Gukesh. 20 minutes of extra analysis after everyone (yes, even us!) had left the venue. Fingers crossed, someone remembered to drive the Grandmasters back to the hotel! 😁 #Grandchesstour #gukeshd #alirezafirouzja
