GM Artur Yusupov is someone I could listen to all day. Very enjoyable conversation with @chessdojo.bsky.social. On his work with the Women in Chess Foundation, reflections on his career, and on life more generally. Highly recommended

Screenshot of the very entertaining segment of hand and brain where the legendary GMs Peter Svidler and Ivan Sokolov slayed along the Women In Chess Foundation Scholars, Clio and Salima. The segment was commentated by WIM Luciana Morales and Scholar Min, as part of the annual Chessmas fundraiser for the organization.
Enjoyed commentating the hands & brain segment of Chessmas along with WICF Scholar Min Amarawatti.
Our brilliant Scholars Clio and Salima teamed up with GM Svidler and GM Sokolov for two intense games, each team winning one.
Thankful for the support to our Women In Chess Foundation Scholars! β€οΈ

Two teams of seven people playing bughouse chess on vinyl boards while sitting on the floor at an undisclosed location. The original poster, Luciana Morales, is sporting a multicolor kimono and jeans, and is probably regretting her choice of French defense in this game.
