    Firouzja Pulls Off Great Escape From Bed

    GM Alireza Firouzja followed in the footsteps (not literally) of GM Tony Miles as an ankle injury forced him to play round five of the Super Chess Classic Romania 2026 from a hotel bed. GM Javokhir Sindarov almost won that clash, but it was a day when no one managed to deliver a final blow.

    Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like plex.pass, graffiti and novels. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was bemused.

    But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!

    With the running order now revealed, I'm significantly less enthusiastic about Denmark's chances. Sigh.

    How hotels are stopping the 'dawn dash' for sunbeds after man wins payout BBC News – Ewan Somerville – 11th May 2026

    How hotels are stopping the 'dawn dash' for sunbeds after man wins payout

    Holidaymakers have told the BBC how some hotels and resorts are cracking down on people reserving sun loungers with towels, after a man won a payout over the practice.

    Last week, a man sued his tour operator for allowing the practice to take place while he was on holiday with his family in 2024, claiming he spent 20 minutes a day trying to find a sun lounger despite getting up at 06:00 every morning in his quest for a few rays.

    Judges at a district court in Hanover granted his family an Β£850 refund this week.
