Casual reminder that I offer affordable, personalized chess lessons for folks below 1700 lichess rapid. $15/hr with discounts for your first 5 lessons. Just shoot me a DM if interested :)
I'm not Naka's biggest fan, but I honestly don't see the issue of him playing in events like this to qualify for the candidates ratings spot. He's assuming risk here with the non zero chance his opponents find a draw or even a win against him. #Chess

Playing USCF correspondence and I misread my opponent's move and blundered the game away in one move 😭

I have never in my life met a librarian that was "The government".
Librarians are in a weird low key way the most punk rock freedom fighter people on the planet. If you ask them sincerely they will get your kids good, appropriate stuff, even from other libraries.
About to "hey is it cool if we use my setup?" my way into playing on this bad boy at my next tournament.
Got myself a much better paying job halfway across the country!
One of the hardest parts is leaving the chess club I worked so hard at building behind. Our little community means so much to me and I'm really grateful to have had the opportunity to meet them all #chesspunks

Alright fine. Can someone please explain triangulation to me like I'm a 5 year old? Because this diagram is just not cutting it.

New visualization exercise for y'all today! Black to move.
#chesspunks
I'm pretty bad at visualization for my level so these sorts of puzzles always take me a while.
Taken from Step 5 in the Steps Method. #chesspunks
Working through The Steps Method and found this one to be rather nice! White to play #chess #chesspunks
Anyone else feel like 1...e5 after e4 is just a rare side line? In my last 10 tournament games I've gotten it once. #chess #chesspunks

After a disappointing tournament 2 weeks ago (scored 2/5) I managed to take clear first in one I played this past weekend.
You can't truly feel the highs without experiencing the lows!

What are the chances 1 of the big names like @GothamChess @GMHikaru @alexandrabotez takes a min to read my daughter's page & says: "I think this little girl Skye will go far if we give her the needed push!" Your retweets might make this more visible #chess gofund.me/b517ab74
Almost back to my peak! I think changing up my openings is a driving factor. I was just not enjoying the middlegame positions I found myself in and it was showing in the results.
I dropped 1.e4 and tweaked my responses as black. #chess #chesspunks
During a lesson with one of my students I broke down what needs to happen for someone to go from their level (400) to their first goal of 1000 (and beyond)
He created this graphic as a visual aid and allowed me to share it. DM me if you want to improve too.
