@SusanPolgar My head is in blistering pain just looking at this

Chess Improvement Tip Many club players and even masters regularly ask me how to improve. Here’s a perfect example. In the position below, the game is wild and chaotic—like two heavyweight boxers standing toe-to-toe, trading massive punches. If you choose to enter this kind of fight, you cannot flinch, hesitate, or slow down. You must commit fully and go straight for the knockout. Zhu Jiner had a promising position with Black against one of the greatest players of all time. However, she didn’t fully grasp the dynamic strengths and weaknesses of both sides. Instead of embracing the wild complications, she chose a safer, simpler path — a decision that proved to be a critical mistake. (I’m confident many other grandmasters would have struggled to understand this position as well.) Although she later had decent chances to hold, she couldn’t capitalize on them and eventually lost. If you want to improve your chess, take your time with this position. Try to find the best continuation for Black, especially the key ideas. Even if you use an engine, don’t just look at the moves — work hard to understand the very deep ideas behind them. Chess isn’t about memorizing lines. It’s about developing deep, genuine understanding. Simply posting one-move ‘solutions’ is not real training — it’s an absolute waste of your time. Good luck! ♟️ #ChessImprovement #ChessPunks

@Lordweb111 I hit 2000 a few times at blitz. Currently sitting 1950. Played a few 2000+ and none of them are playing main line theory. It's all side-line stuff if that

How do y'all prep chess alone ?😒 I finally got to 2000 elo on chess. com and it's like I've completely lost direction on moving forward

@RenierCast Yes real amazing that so many people on this app don't burn mental energy on a board Martha's is completely and totally moot.

Amazing that so many people on this app can't solve it. Took me 2 seconds..

@WifiMoneyPlant I red this same exact tweet like 3 months ago

Biggest "the kids are fucked" moment I've had recently was buying a car Walked into the dealership, told them what I wanted and said I'd pay up-front. Expected them to be thrilled Instead they were horrified. Spent the next 20 minutes trying to get me to finance it at some absurd rate Got me curious so after I left I read about car sale profit models. Apparently most US dealerships make more financing now than from the cars themselves I was such a boomer I assumed they'd want CASH In reality they want your ETERNAL SLAVERY at 19% APR

@kramnikstudent "Freestyle" was a massive flop and didn't generate enough public interest to justify hosting the events. I don't think that I even finished an entire free style game, personally.

Surprised Magnus is still playing Classical chess. Feels like a bit of a step back from the trendy and more interesting Freestyle format - The pay might be good

@FedericoMarin b6 very cute finish. I knew th concept but couldn't find it. Plugged it in tiny engine and it dint even see it on low depth, it waned Ke5

Ayer cumplí uno de los grandes sueños de mi vida: llegar a esta posición. 50 años de estudio han servido para algo. Sé que es una ambición modesta, pero... ¿Cómo rematarías esta partida de forma elegante y rápida? Blancas juegan y ganan.

@vegastbone You managed to piss off literally EVERYONE and you got banned for it to go along with it . Thats some impressive stuff right there . It's legit hard to fuck up that badly

Please post my profit and loss history at circa and D casino so you can’t let other operators know your opinion.

@Abelgcy @TheICHpodcast And there's a reason he sold everything and left

@TheICHpodcast Trying to squeeze 5% while risking 100% is very dumb He’s smart for keeping customers happy I mean look at Amazon. That is how they won.

Graham Stephan explains why he NEVER raised rents on his tenants👀 “I’d never raise the rents… I hated raising the rent because I’d get really great tenants that would stay 8 to 10 years. They were awesome. I had zero hassle, zero headaches, they always paid on time”

@moggerMark @Jackkk Yeah but he's like the only guy doing it ...

@Jackkk Magnus makes way more lmao, only with winning he makes more than a million a year with all sponsors and deals easily 10 million a year or more

Hans Niemann reveals how much top chess players actually make “Top 3 player in the world you’re making around $1,000,000 a year depending on your endorsements” “A top 5 player is making $600,000 to $800,000 and a top 10 player depending on sponsors is making around $300,000” “Top 20 player in the world you’re lucky to make $100,000 to $150,000… top 40 player in the world and you’re lucky to make $100,000 a year. So there’s a huge, huge drop-off” “I think last year I won maybe $350,000 in prize money… but if I wasn’t blacklisted I’d be making much, much more” “I’ve had countries offer me ridiculous amounts of money to represent them”

@HansMokeNiemann I'm surprised you got Ian to agree to a match. Werent th two of you on bad terms for a period of time ?

I would like to announce my next classical matches. May 24-26 vs Jorden Van Foreest (Belgrade) 6 games classical 60+30 May 29-June 1 vs Ian Nepomniatchi (Belgrade). 8 games classical 60+30 I believe 1-1 matches are the future of chess, inviting all chess content creators to both matches!

@NMRobertRamirez This is clearly a Sicilian. Happens to me every time I try to play this as black. I can spot that retarded bishop on e7 from 100 miles away

Congrats to my student Robinson on this nice move! More than the move itself, it's about all the right choices he made to get to this position. Things we've been reinforcing over and over and he is already putting them together. Opposite color bishops in the middle game=⚠️

@groyplax @EmilSutovsky Maybe Magnus felt himself getting old and knew he wasn't going to be able to successfully defend his title within 1-3 more matches and he rather bow out than lose it by force in a match. Being a WCC means you need to defend it

Gukesh-Sindarov will be an epic clash. The youngest ever for the biggest Title in chess. Two amazing players. Two real fighters. Courageous. Energetic. Determined. Composed. Both rely heavily on their outstanding calculation ability. But there are significant differences of course. And the one who brings the betrer version of himself for the Match will prevail. In the coming week FIDE will be busy reviewing the options for the location. Dates are set at the end of November - first half of December. Question for the fans: Of course, India and/or Uzbekistan are two logical options. But if not there, where would you see it proper to be hosted?

@JoshNoLook People swing up, not down.

An otherwise irrelevant IM teaching chess to wealthy kids in NYC gets boosted by chesscom and Nakamura into a major content creator. He then gets to build Chessly, and chesscom even promotes his books in their events. Nakamura doesn't get that same freedom.

@agadmator Can you really blame prag? Position is sharp as a razor blade

!!

@CassinoBruno @btchchan Haha if it were 2 Russians playing 100% chance the person with the best score wins there

@btchchan Americans unable to do the basic result fixing of the soviet school

@chesscom The word #2 by definition at this point. Naka is well past his prime.

The world #2 and world #3 are playing again as we start the second half of the Candidates 👀🇺🇸 Will anyone catch Sindarov??

@Vegasfan1970 They won't even give you a 9/5 double double game. What makes you think they're gonna give you a kicker ?

Would it kill Caesar to give a kicker??

@jasonjosephlee They probably used your offer as leverage to negotiate a better deal with other potential buyers during that 2 week period. If they couldn't do better they would go with you. If they can do better than you know what happens .

Broker tells us we can get this deal under contract for $17,000,000. We make an offer at $17,000,000. We wait two weeks with little to no response from him. Makes excuses for the seller being "slow." He calls me today and tells me that the seller decided to go with another buyer at $17,000,000. Love these types of brokers. Shop our offer and go with another buyer that they have worked with before.

@HansMokeNiemann Check his rear

Undefeated… 5/5 GRENKE

@MAGA_X_Times This back off was actually polite. I don't know why you were giving him such a hard time

Casinos keep a log of card counters, this man identified himself when he entered the casino, he sits down at a blackjack table he’s playing two hands against the dealer and one other player and a shoe full of decks of cards (typically 6-8) the casino can and often changes shoes at random and as frequently as they want. So why do they call “card counting” against the rules ? Isn’t keeping track of the game what you’re supposed to do ? Should everyone be blindfolded to play blackjack ? A typical casino has dozens of games that collect massive amounts of revenue.
