  1. Words can’t describe how heartbreaking the passing of my coach, Daniel Naroditsky, is. Just a few days before the Grand Swiss tournament in Uzbekistan which took place a little more than a month ago, I asked him to coach and accompany me. Even though it was a last-minute request and he had to travel across the world to reach Samarkand, he booked his flight and figured everything out within hours. That’s who he was, always there, never hesitating to help. We spent an amazing half month together. I’ll always be grateful for those days and everything I learned from him. Danya was the most genuine person I have ever known. I’ll never forget our late night bullet matches over the past 10 years. he was the only person in the world who regularly beat me in those. Danya, your legacy lives on forever. I’m sure somewhere up there, you’re playing blitz and discussing history with the greats.

  1. Good company and good food, as they say… 😌 Muchas gracias to Nikita (the head cook), Peter and Ildar and also to @vladimir_potkin64 and Evgeny Tomashevsky for all the help!

  2. Дорогие друзья! Хочу от всей души поблагодарить всех, кто болел и переживал за меня. Мне безмерно важны и приятны ваши слова поддержи! Увы, порою не все идёт гладко, а воплотить задуманное в жизнь оказывается труднее, чем казалось. Огромное спасибо моей замечательной команде, партнерам и всем тем людям, вместе с которыми мы проделали огромный путь. Ещё раз поздравляю @magnus_carlsen - он очень сильно играл, мастерски поддерживал напряжение, почти не ошибался и в итоге заслуженно победил. Непростые уроки будут выучены, а горький опыт пойдёт на пользу. Скоро всех нас ждут новые турниры, и добиваться побед мы сможем только вместе. Спасибо! Dear friends! I want to sincerely thank everyone who was rooting for me. Your words of support are immensely important and pleasant! Alas, sometimes not everything goes smoothly, and it turns out to be more difficult than it seemed to realize what was planned. Many thanks to my wonderful team, partners and all those people with whom we have come a long way. Congratulations once again to @magnus_carlsen - he played very well, masterfully maintained tension, made very few mistakes and deservedly won the match. Difficult lessons will be learned, and bitter experience will benefit. New tournaments are waiting for all of us soon, and we can only achieve victories together. Thanks! #fideworldchampionship #expo2020 📸@kublashvilieteri

  2. P. Harikrishna is an absolute gem of Indian chess! Apart from being a super strong chess player, he is the man who has been part of the team of both the current classical world champions - D. Gukesh and Ju Wenjun. Hari has been an absolute team player. Apart from winning the Olympiad Gold in Budapest in 2024, he has been part of the winning team of just about every major team event in the world. This just speaks volumes about Hari's team spirit. Speaking to ChessBase India Rajinikanth, Gukesh's father, said, "Gukesh and Hari worked together for a week in 2022 and then Gukesh kept up his upward trajectory by winning the Gijon Open, crossing 2700 Elo in Biel and then the Chennai Olympiad 2022 performance where he won the individual gold and team bronze. Hari was kind enough to invite Gukesh to his home after he crossed 2650. He had mentioned that he was impressed with Gukesh's game. I believe that 1 week of intense camp at Hari's place played a big role in Gukesh's growth back then. He then helped him at the Candidates and also for the World Championship Match and I am very thankful for his efforts and guidance" In the pictures you can see Gukesh playing with Hari's daughter - cute little Maya! A huge shoutout for Hari for doing what he is doing for Indian and world chess! #chess #chessbaseindia #gukesh #harikrishna
