Eberechi Eze won another victory in an online chess tournament just days after helping Crystal Palace to reach the FA Cup final.
The 26-year-old England international won Chess.com’s four-day amateur PogChamps competition, which featured 12 famous content creators and athletes. She won $20, 000 (£15, 000) in prize money.
Eze defeated American YouTuber Sapnap in the event’s final with a $100, 000 (£75, 000) total prize fund in the final of the event, which featured a 3-0 win over Aston Villa at Wembley last weekend as Palace prepared for an FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Eze first began playing chess after receiving instruction from his former Palace teammate Michael Olise at the club’s training facility.
He stated to The Athletic in 2023, “I didn’t begin learning chess until Michael arrived.
I started studying the game, watching YouTube videos of the best chess openings, and other things like that, because he and my brother nudged me when I was learning to play and face them.
Eze won the final 2-0 live on the streaming service Twitch after going through a group stage of competition.
Crystal Palace stated on X: “He can do it all. ” in response to Chess.com’s announcement of Eze’s victory.
In his 38 games with Crystal Palace, Eze has scored nine goals and provided 11 assists this season.
A deadly attack in Kashmir, which was the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for years, destroyed the idea that the region was safe, open for business, and back to “normal” again.
Indian authorities have responded with a comprehensive crackdown and nationalist rhetoric. The government’s message is echoed by a lot of media.
How did this happen, and how did it happen? is too fundamentally important to ask.

One royal expert says that the Duke of Sussex has so far refused to do anything in the rift with his family that Prince Harry has claimed his father the King won’t speak to him but that he hopes for reconciliation.
Prince Harry is refusing to take responsibility for his actions despite wanting reconciliation with his family by not doing one thing, according to a royal expert.
In a bombshell interview after losing a legal battle over his security arrangements in the UK, the Duke of Sussex dramatically claimed his father the King would not speak to him but he would like reconciliation with him and the rest of the Firm, explaining: “this, at the heart of it, is a family dispute”. The rift between the Sussexes and the royal family opened significantly following their interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which they alleged a member of the family was concerned about their son Archie’s skin tone before he was born.

Then the duke claimed in his controversial memoir, Spare, that Prince William had physically attacked him, that the King put his own interests above Harry’s and was jealous of Meghan. In his latest explosive tell-all with the BBC, he said: “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.”
Even though Harry has pleaded for reconciliation, Majesty Magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Seward predicts that any apology from him for his past actions will take a long time.
She exclusively told the Mirror: “By now Charles is used to Harry’s disloyalty and contradictions. But what he will not be prepared to put up with is his youngest son’s stubborn conviction that he is always right. Harry’s ego is so fragile he thinks the world is against him. He refuses to take responsibility for his actions. If he wants reconciliation, why does he still attack his family?

He would have admitted he was wrong if he had expressed regret to his father and those he has hurt. Harry seems incapable of carrying this out because he has such a fragile sense of self. Hardy won’t likely be able to bring his wife and kids to the UK due to his stubbornness. At least for the time being.
He claimed to have known the “family,” but never made an apology. This is known by the King. However, he also recognizes that Harry is “extremely vulnerable” despite his accusatory exterior.
Harry also spoke out about the King’s health, who is currently receiving cancer treatment. He said, “Life is precious. It would be nice to reconcile with my father, but I don’t know how long he has been hiding from me because of this security stuff.
He also said information he learned during the legal process led him to discover “some people want history to repeat itself”, in an apparent reference to the death of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales. And speaking out so publicly about this is why the King has not been speaking to his youngest son, according to royal biographer Ingrid, even if it might be painful for him.

She continued, “Charles needs complete trust. He is both the monarch and the head of state, as Charles vowed at his coronation. He will be devastated by this circumstance. However, until such a time as Harry’s trust is established, he must avoid him. If they ever do.
It comes as fellow expert, the former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond also told The Mirror how Harry’s “barely controlled emotion” was in stark contrast to how King Charles publicly reached out to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
Imagine King Charles hearing Harry accuse him of “not caring” about his safety after being informed that his younger son had given a TV interview. He is informed that the establishment and consequently the royal family attempted to detain Harry and his wife and children, allowing them to have their security reduced to make them stay in the UK.
And he notices Harry talking about “some people wanting history to repeat itself,” which would seem to be a reference to his mother’s security plans after her death in a car accident.
Contrast this with the King’s first broadcast the day after the late Queen’s passing, in which he made a definite point of loving Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas. “

Speaking of Prince Harry’s manner in the interview, Jennie continued: “The words that Harry used about losing his court case: that he was ‘devastated, gutted and surprised’ could well be the exact words that King Charles might echo about this latest bombshell interview.”

As he sits in his buggy’s basinet, which has been cleverly placed on the cobbled beach next to a picnic set up for his parents, the tot appears in a striped t-shirt, blue shorts, and a striped bucket hat, which is one of the few snaps.

However, she revealed her romance to Alistair in November, despite the fact that the pair has known each other for years.
Before falling in love with Alistair, Emily admitted to feeling “lonely” while speaking to The Times. She continued, “I feel like my entire life had been building up to that point, both in terms of getting to participate in that show and in my personal life.” The universe seems to have converged. That is genuinely the way it feels.
She continued, “I once prayed to God that I would end up with someone who would make me feel secure, and I am now safe with Al.” Emily claimed in the interview that she was there by Alistair’s side when Rivals was finishing filming and that she had stayed with him while his father lay dying.

She recalls that at that point, something was born inside them: “We were together at the deathbed before we left the room and gave each other a hug. We were just aware after holding hands for about 20 minutes. Love was at work here. “This was real,”

According to an expert, Prince Harry and Prince William never seemed to be as close as the general public had thought.
The Duke of Sussex mentioned in an explosive interview that he wanted to “reconciliation” with his family and that he had made an indirect reference to Prince William, his brother.
The Duke continued, “Of course, some members of my family will never pardon me for writing a book.” They will never, after all, forgive me for many things. But you’re aware that I’d prefer family reconciliation. There is no point in fighting any longer, as I’ve always said.
Life is precious, I said, and I was right. It would be nice to reconcile with my father, who I don’t know how long he has been hiding from me because of this security stuff. “

Royal historian and expert Dr. Tessa Dunlop said: “Harry was aware of what he was doing.” There is a great deal of sadness there. However, I wonder if this united family confection, which we’ve been sold on right from the beginning of Elizabeth and Phillip’s marriage, doesn’t cause us to feel that sadness more. “
William and Harry were “shoulder to shoulder, brothers in the face of their mother’s death, brothers in the face of their parents’ imploding marriage,” she continued, “William and Harry, brothers shoulder to shoulder, brothers in the face of these big British events,” despite the fact that “we were never sold.”
Harry laid it out in this manner, and that is what he did. So I wonder if that makes them feel as bad on a personal level because Harry claims that they were never truly the friends we were led to believe they were. “
Harry’s actions are in opposition to his claims that he wants to reconcile with his family, according to the author.
She said, “On the one hand, he claims to want reconciliation and doesn’t know how long his father will live. but still pressing painful buttons and deeply personal ones at the same time as actually detonating yet another bomb, essentially putting his father in jeopardy for not receiving the level of security he seeks.
Harry’s claims, according to Tessa, contradict his actions.
He really implies that the King is engaging in unconstitutional meddling… They say things like that, but they are His Majesty’s courts… There is a strange contradiction in there because Harry is aware that it won’t make his father any closer to him and won’t make him friends in the palace. “
The Sussexes have publicly criticised The Firm on numerous occasions since the couple left royal life, revealing intimate details with Harry’s family for the public. They have all but been separated from the royal family due to numerous bombshells, with Prince William reportedly being particularly upset about his brother’s “betrayal.”
The conflict between the brothers has grown in recent years, with Harry’s tell-all book being regarded as William’s last resort. The Prince and Princess of Wales’ alleged friends have previously stated to The Daily Beast that “Both sides understand one another’s position very well.” Harry’s memoir completely betrayed William and Catherine. They stay away from Harry and Meghan. “
