4 reasons why chess isn’t cricket:
Cricket is played on a field with humans, chess is played on a board with wooden pieces.
Cricket has a bat and a ball, chess usually doesn’t.
There are 22 players needed for a cricket match, while chess is only two.
I can’t play cricket.
The #FTXCryptoCup is over, with @MagnusCarlsen taking 1st place while @rpragchess edged out @AlirezaFirouzja into 2nd place after winning their head-to-head match!
