I was so excited when you came to New York and especially to play in our chess club—after you already played the World Rapid Championship that day. I didn’t get the chance to meet you, sadly. Still, your words reached me for years, and years to come. A gentle soul, RIP Danya.

The Marshall Chess Club community was saddened to hear about the passing of GM Daniel Naroditsky. He was a player of remarkable ability, who was incredibly humble and kind given his unique talent.

I jumped over my pre-Reykjavik peak of 2029 to new high of 2061 FIDE rating (international). In the last two months I’ve gained 90 rating points, which is pretty wild at the age of 32 lol. Here’s to keeping the fire burning in September! ratings.fide.com/profile/309406…

Usually second place and $300 is something celebrate. It's a disappointing one for me; I failed to win a piece-up endgame in the last round. Gutnik won it clear. The guy is in his 70s and keeps getting close to hitting the national master title, and I really hope he gets it.

20,107 tactics solved on chesstempo since I started. Current streak: 222 consecutive days. Still under my record of 2100 rating, but we are grinding 💪.

With 2 tournament victories in July, I jumped almost 50 points and recover everything I've lost since Reykjavik (April). I am 10 points from my peak rating, but I feel I am calculating much better than I was then.

On my birthday, so I won’t forget this result.

History has been written today! #RapidBlitz We have two 2024 FIDE World Blitz Champions! Congratulations 👏 👏


Another 🥇 . Two clear firsts and tied first in my last three tournaments.

Please don’t celebrate Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal from attorney general consideration. It’s not a victory. His nomination for the position only shows how low we have set the bar—for the highest offices in our country. The bare minimum has been redefined.


Democrats need a more compelling platform than “We’re not as bad as him,” a tactic that worked once and failed twice.

Another 🥇, 3-way tie though I came close to winning it all. $247 was the split.

I reached my peak FIDE rating at the end of 2021 and had been dropping ever since. Since March, I gained almost 200 points and have, this month, reached my all-time high. And we are far from stopping. It may sound funny to you now, but it’s my life goal to reach the FM title.

Clear 🥇 with four straight wins and two byes 💪. Hope to ride this wave a little longer.
