]]> Anish Giri roasts better #TweetOftheDay https://www.chessdom.com/anish-giri-roasts-better-tweetoftheday/ Sat, 31 Aug 2024 14:24:56 +0000 https://www.chessdom.com/?p=93181 A scandal with accommodation is rocking the Chess Olympiad 2024, secrecy is surrounding the World Rapid and Blitz 2024, and communication by FIDE CEO Emil Sutovsky is a disaster. Can you sum up all the stories in under 280 characters? Anish Giri can! And while describing the problems going on in the chess world, he roasts back Sutovsky.

Anish Giri’s ability of commenting social issues in chess with a sense of humor is way above 2800 ELO. “There aren’t enough hotel rooms at the FIDE Olympiad and still no practical information for the FIDE World Rapid and Blitz. But at least FIDE makes sure the top players are roasted and humbled after unfortunate performances!” comments Giri.

If you are not following Giri on Twitter/X you should do it. Now!
