My white whale: The classic chess set designed by Peter Ganine. The pieces were used on TOS for the original tri-dimensional chess.
Sets on ebay are way out of my price range (when they're even available).

Vaaa pues en #chess nuestro equipo de #Barcelona segundo del europeo de ciudades y tercero en el mundial.

I believed when I posted this that it had recently happened
Its been pointed out to me that it happened in 2017
I apologise for misleading
Ukrainian Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.
Seems like a sell out by Fide

Be the change you want to see in the world!
Ok, I want to see more people from Mastodon playing more chess(in general)
so I'll participate in some tournaments on lichess.org and post with MastodonChess hashtag
Not gonna use (#)MastoLichess...unnecessary
1 post per tournament and that way I won't be spamming Mastodon with too many posts(says someone with 1.1k+ posts 🤦)
Goal:
play Dutch Defense(if possible) as black and play Italian Game as white.
Hablando de #ajedrez #escacs, Team #Barcelona ha sido campeón de Europa 2023 y 2024. Ahora siempre entre los tres primeros en mundial, europeo y Chess960 de ciudades.
Un pequeño orgullo después de doce años en #chess.com y habiendo ayudado en los inicios, a traducir la #app en castellano
