Will we see a new World No. 1? πŸ‘€

This is the closest Caruana has come to claiming the top spot in a long time! The race is getting interesting! β™ŸοΈπŸ”₯

Carlsen has been winless so far in the classical event (several draws + a loss to Haik Martirosyan).

Carlsen has held the #1 spot on every official FIDE list since July 2011 (15+ continuous years). Caruana has spent quite a bit of that time as the #2. Will we see a flip?

Here is another one of the puzzles from our recent Puzzle Solving Championship. The young contestants had 30 minutes to solve 20 puzzles. The winner did all 20 correct in about 6-7 minutes.

White to move. Can you find the best continuation?

Please post either the full solution or just the final move in the comments!

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Happy Veterans Day πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Freedom is never free. It is built upon the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of those who have served to protect our nation.

Today, we honor all the brave men and women who answered the call of duty, defended our freedoms, and stood up for the values that make America great.

Thank you to our veterans. Your service, sacrifice, and patriotism will never be forgotten.

God Bless our Veterans and God Bless America! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβ€οΈπŸ€πŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Just arrived in Barcelona after a very long journey from Seattle, only to discover that Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ is experiencing a massive nationwide strike protesting the government over the housing crisis, soaring rents, limited affordable housing, stagnant wages amid inflation (around 4.9%), and broader cost-of-living pressures. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
