Hi, I’m Zach. I’ve been a chess content creator for 5+ years. I stream chess on Twitch almost every day and have a passion for life! I make Youtube videos in which you can follow my chess journey and/or watch my weird and cool chess games. Tell me about you! [Same format]

✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ Insane and iconic idea. Taking away from the center and self-creating an isolated pawn for the safety of the king. In the proceeding endgame, Seirawan’s king was safe which enabled him to press this opposite-colored square bishop endgame.

I think I may have stumped Chess Twitter for the first time of my life… Clue #2: The move is so iconic it stunned the celebrated player across from him and was the landmark move and idea to bring victory for white in the game

If you ever feel your elo is too low and you’re not good enough at chess… Watch this game between two 2500 repeatedly hanging a queen for 10 moves

Garry Kasparov absolutely belittling the GM title today Isn’t it harder to obtain the GM title 10 years ago than now? One must know much more now but the information is more accessible…

It was supposed to be a fun exhibition game, sponsored by Microsoft, and it turned into a full-time job for four months! I submitted my moves from all over the world as I traveled for tournaments and appearances and the game got incredibly complicated. And I wanted to win! 😂

Botvinnik's score v. the other World Champions (# games). Lasker +1 (4) Capablanca = (7) Alekhine +1 (3) Euwe = (12) Smyslov +4 (104) Tal = (44) Petrosian -3 (31) Spassky +1(7) Fischer = (1). Figures from my database. Complete, I think! (📷: D. Donskoi, Novosti Press.)

"Nobody checks the Scandinavian anymore. It's not so bad!" Sounds like a ringing endorsement from Fabiano Caruana!
