Chess Twitter is the best place on the internet. Every day thousands of chess players post their thoughts and try to refute an age-old myth - that chess players are smart.
The runners-up are:
Emil Sutovsky
The former Director-General of FIDE (now CEO) is consistently one of the best tweeters. Whether he’s stealing content because he doesn’t know how to retweet or defending his bestie Nigel Short, Emil delivers top-quality content day after day.
He asked the big questions even if he wasn’t interested in the answers.
Even when the answer was from his own poll.
His understanding of statistics remains unrivaled and it’s clear FIDE has a bright future under his stewardship.
Be sure to follow Emil on Twitter to keep up with his Excellent Content!
Anish Giri
Anish had a quiet year, managing to avoid any Twitter controversies as far as I remember. Still, he’s a small but consistent contributor and I expect him to get even better in 2023.
No idea what this tweet refers to but the engagement was good.
Lularobs.
I will grudgingly accept that the self-appointed “meme queen” is sometimes funny.
She’s not but she tries.
Anyways, enough of these people. The winner is…
MrDodgy (it’s me)
I’m surprised and honoured to win this prestigious award but, quite frankly, I deserve it. From memes to battles with Karjakin, Susie Dent and the official Sweden account to far too many anal bead tweets, I once again proved that I am Good at Tweets.
A few highlights, not that you could’ve possibly missed them:
In 2023 I can only make one promise - I will do more tweets.
