hi! this is literally just my sideblog to chat about chess and hopefully gain some friends and more insight into the game and community! I'm a very low-level beginner as of rn, haven't been playing long, and took a break not long after starting. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things though! feel free to come by and chat. ♡

Queen of Chess (2026) "I saw Judit play at the Madrid tournament, and she played absolutely brilliant chess. She beat very strong players, and what I will never forget is the way the male players reacted to her victory. There were four games where the opponent didn't resign, didn't shake hands. I mean, all those things are sacrosanct in chess. That's what you do, and they just stormed off. It was embarrassing." ―Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam (Editor-in-Chief, New in Chess)

Karpov had cemented his position as the world's best player and world champion by the time Garry Kasparov arrived on the scene. In their first match, the World Chess Championship 1984 in Moscow, the first player to win six games would win the match. Karpov built a 4–0 lead after nine games. The next 17 games were drawn, setting a record for world title matches, and it took Karpov until game 27 to gain his fifth win. In game 31, Karpov had a winning position but failed to take advantage and settled for a draw. He lost the next game, after which 14 more draws ensued. Karpov held a solidly winning position in Game 41, but again blundered and had to settle for a draw. After Kasparov won games 47 and 48, FIDE President Florencio Campomanes unilaterally terminated the match, citing the players' health. Karpov is said to have lost 10 kg over the course of the match. The match had lasted an unprecedented five months, with five wins for Karpov, three for Kasparov, and 40 draws.

okay, yeah this is pretty funny
