My freedom. My focus. My practice. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, it’s not worth trying to excel at it.
@Cohere keeps it that way.

Det er veldig trist at Kong Harald er gått bort. Jeg husker våre møter, blant annet fra slottsmiddager og vinter-OL. Han hadde en helt egen interesse for sport og var alltid oppriktig nysgjerrig og engasjert. Det var fint å møte ham, og jeg er glad for minnene jeg har. Mine tanker går til Dronning Sonja og resten av kongefamilien.

I am saddened by the passing of King Harald. I remember our meetings, including at Royal Palace dinners and the Winter Olympics. He had a genuine passion for sport and was always curious and engaged. It was a privilege to meet him, and I am grateful for the memories. My thoughts are with Queen Sonja and the rest of the Royal Family.

Feeling good! It’s nice to show that the old guard still knows how to move the pieces.

Congrats to the winners. Great event.
Congratulations to Dragon Chilling and everyone involved in organising the FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Team Championship in Hong Kong. ♟️🇭🇰
This event has a special meaning for me because it started as my idea in 2022. I believed there was space in chess for a different kind of team competition: international, dynamic, attractive for players, and engaging for fans.
At the time, not everyone was convinced that a global Rapid & Blitz Team Championship could become an important event in world chess. Some felt the concept was too ambitious. I saw it differently.
In 2023, we brought the first edition to life in Düsseldorf, turning that vision into reality.
Today, it is inspiring to see how the event continues to grow and establish itself on the international chess calendar.
For me, this is exactly what WR Chess is about: creating serious, high-level chess projects that respect the sport, support the players, and bring chess closer to new audiences.
Chess has enormous tradition, but it also has still room for new ideas. I am proud to see this event continue its journey and grateful to everyone helping it develop further.
Now it’s time to fly back home!
P.S. WR Chess Team - thank you for making sure nobody accuses us of winning every tournament. 😉 Next year, let’s return to normal, please)

You don't sign up to play @MagnusCarlsen . You qualify.
Here's how 👇
⟶ play Standard mode on Anichess this week and climb.
⟶ This Saturday, 13 June, there's an open arena anyone can enter, three hours, as many games as you can play, and the top four advance into Sunday's knockout.
⟶ Win that, and you face Magnus at Anichess on 16 June.
Open to anyone, anywhere. No download.
How it all works 👇
