We challenged Ian Nepomniachtchi to a quick game β€” name the first chess player that comes to mind from each country we mention! 🌍 Who would you name? πŸ‘‡

@FIDE_chess How much is fide paying for their meme creator? I want to apply for it.

@FIDE_chess He is lying all of it

@FIDE_chess He is lying🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 How do you forget Ding Liren that gave you trauma during the world chess championship.

@FIDE_chess For Argentina, he could have gone with Najdorf

@FIDE_chess should have asked for Russia and India

@FIDE_chess Norway was obvious but also interesting that he did not say Ding but wang hao

@FIDE_chess well, he didn't play by the rules tho... you are supposed to tell the first comes to your mind, not picking up whom i should say (except the first one, that was a good joke, but kept selecting)

@FIDE_chess Impressive, so he remembered Norway πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄ Number 2 ahead of World Number 1 πŸ˜‚

@FIDE_chess Not him avoiding the two players who beat him in a world championship match, even tho they're the best players of all time from their respective countries lol

@FIDE_chess Nice joke on Norway!

@FIDE_chess Nepo was avoiding the popular ones πŸ˜‚

@FIDE_chess He was intentional with that Norway and ChinaπŸ˜‚

@FIDE_chess Nice edit with Magnus πŸ˜‚

@FIDE_chess Pure Ragebait

@FIDE_chess Gutted that she didn't include Ireland πŸ˜‰

@FIDE_chess magnus snubbed

@FIDE_chess What a pity Ian didnΒ΄t remember Najdorf, Panno and yes a little boy like Faustino Oro...

@FIDE_chess Interviewer : Norway? Nepo : Aryan Tari Magnus (Mind Voice) : No Way!πŸ˜‚

@FIDE_chess Clearly not the first chess player that came to his mind

@FIDE_chess Even Ian knew what he was doing with Norway πŸ˜‚

@FIDE_chess Magnus hitting the table will forever be funny. πŸ˜‚ #richie #sn1p3r

@FIDE_chess Carlsen edit is hilarious

@FIDE_chess Ian missing Snow White and the 7 Najdorfs for Argentina

@FIDE_chess Carlsen Ding Shirov Ivanchuk Caruana Amin Rapport Oro Abdusattorov

@FIDE_chess Nepo is funny Their friendship is good
