@GsquaredMr @RookieRedhead Also, we didn't agree formally to play e4/e5. I wouldn't have switched in that case. I did hint that I was leaning that way, though.

@lisiko85 @dingchilling That makes no sense. If they want to do this and they are happy with the content then who are you or anyone else to judge them.

@dingchilling They can be lingerie models, but then leave the chess board off and don’t connect it.

@elonmusk tonight twitter sucks big time and is having technical difficulties uploading a GIF of a chess game. Very lame and poor management by you. #chesspunks

NOT in our forthcoming book ENDGAME LABYRINTHS, but still a nice bit of fun! White to play and win (Carf 2019).

@GMJacobAagaard Nd7+, Nxd7, c6 then there is no way to stop the pawn from promoting. This was super annoying to checkmate stockfish level 8 on lichess after promoting. This was good training, thanks!

This is a great practical endgame study position with a clear win, clear draw and lots of ways to screw it up 😬. Thanks Coach! Give it a try against stockfish level 8 in Lichess as black to play. FEN: 8/p7/P1pp4/2p1k1pp/4Pp2/1PPP1KPP/8/8 b - - 0 1 #chesspunks @mencikdavid

@RookieRedhead @chesscoachandra @Lona_Chess Great game from both of you. The explanation by Coach Andra on how the Grand Prix Attack and the Kings Indian Defense both set up the king side attack and how to counter it was very instructive for me since I play the Sicilian, KID and 1.d4 QG.

@ben_finegold @chessable I think your course is great and already incorporating it into what I play with good results. I will make sure to give you a 5 star review on chessable. Hoping you will make a Sicilian course next!!!

@pvlummen I have some issues with nerves and stupid thought process errors. I try to focus on the learning experience and incremental improvement as a long timeframe journey. Have a secret Smurf account I play blitz on that is great and I can give zero Fs when playing. Wish you the best

@cacciacorey @NealBruceBC I’ve found for myself that reducing the pressure on myself by only committing to 30 minutes of tactics daily, and then doing more if I have the time and energy has helped a lot. Also, identifying a few weekly time slots that work well with my work, family and exercise schedule.

@TheChessCabbie Everyone’s First Chess Workbook may be a better tactics course to start with. I have just completed it on chessable for the 3rd time and it has helped improve my play a good amount.

Many players say to do puzzles, I’m currently working my way through ‘1001 Chess Exercises for Beginners’ which I’m enjoying but I struggle to see there relevance with respects to actually playing games because I struggle to see them during games #chesspunks
