Nikita Vitiugov is currently leading the @ecfchess team at the @FIDE_chess Olympiad. His new book, Chess Metamorphosis, largely about his work with @lachesisq, is a fascinating read - and available from @TheChessShopUK. Well done, Nikita and @QualityChess! #chess #chessolympiad

Fascinating article this from @MehmetMars7 of @Kingspol_econ & Steven Brams of @nyuniversity in our upcoming October pages. They propose moving from Armageddon to 'Divide-and-Choose', making some good points. Will D&C take off, or is the #chess world too in love with Armageddon?!
Armageddon is now a widely used tiebreaker, but where did it originate? In the upcoming issue of @CHESS_Magazine, we’ve tracked down earliest uses: one dating back to the 90s in Europe and two other new formats dating to late 2000s at the US Championship. Subscribe to @CHESS_Magazine to read more!

Interesting article this on @ChessBase - h/t Brian Gosling - and near the end the Meinas Chess video of Nottingham 1936 is well worth a watch if you haven't seen it on @YouTube! Is that BH Wood in the background, @johnchess? #chess

Great to see 12-year-old Supratit Banerjee becoming England's youngest ever IM at the Stockholm North Young Talents GM norm event, where he finished on 6.5/10, breaking the 2400 barrier in some style! A fine exchange sacrifice helped him beat GM Erik Blomqvist as Black. #chess

Crushing the Semi-Tarrasch @ginger_gm style! Simon even got in e5-e6 a la Polu-Tal - it can't just be @davidllada who knows this classic 😉 - to move to 5.5/7 at the @ecfchess-organised British Championship! Two rounds to go - and much play left in this seventh round! #chess

We've been very much enjoying following @SUChessTourneys Masters on @lichess. Well done, Hooman! Do check out @davidllada's great photography at @SussexUni! Lorenzo Fava beat Michael Adams no less last week, and dispatched Peter Large in double quick time back in round 2! #chess

Also a norm for @warwickchess 🇦🇺 FM Sam Chow - from 0/2 to 6.5/9! And @GMGawain takes the rapid 3-1, if can't quite catch Szymon Gumularz in their match overall. Final @shefchesscentre report: sheffieldchesscentre.co.uk/s… #chess
