Chess Grandmasters on Twitter

Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 12 June 2013
As far as we know, this post is the first attempt to compile a comprehensive list of chess grandmasters registered on Twitter. A few notes: a) Twitter doesn’t verify chess players yet, so we can’t be certain that all the accounts are real. However, the prevailing majority of them are genuine, because we have asked the people personally. b) If you know a GM/WGM registered on Twitter and not featured in the list, please leave a comment here or send a tweet @Pogonina. Likewise, if someone is impersonating you, please let us know. Our apologies to anyone whom we have overlooked! Comments (1)
