I was born and raised in China, lived in Japan, and now hold a US passport.

I am wrong in every way, all the damn time.

Ask me about my tattoos.

Maurice Ashley goes undercover to thrash a hustler in Washington Square Park.

The guy even tried, not just to move twice and take two pieces, but he moved Ashley's knight 1 square backwards to do it, too. drat, the balls.

Sounds like a dick move by Levon. Aren't accidental touches generally considered exempt from touch move rule?

Not very accidental: https://twitter.com/JohanSalomon/status/710536197018427394

I love how Nakamura is acting surprised, like "What? Touchmove?"

And Aronian just leans back and goes, "Well, what do you want me to do? You grabbed it. You clearly grabbed it."

I take back everything bad I said. Kasparov spanking the US top 3 is hilarious.

e: Oh wow, Aronian beat Carlsen today in Norway.

Hey, Aronian is no slouch!

Huh, speaking of blitz chess, did you guys know that apparently Carlsen and Nakamura played a 40-game blitz match (3+1) in the middle of the night in Moscow in 2010?
