@mrmikeMTL Chess.

what is your go-to escape from reality?

@GMAlexColovic Is this when white plays 6. RG1?

So you play the Najdorf only to get an endgame on move 8. You get an endgame on exactly the same move number in the Berlin.

@NealBruceBC Nxn, QxN, then Bg5?

White to move and win from my Blitz game. 🤔 #chesspunks

@chesscom_in This is a wild stalemate! WOW!!

Troitzky played 1.Rd1, and Vogt replied 1...Bh3? Can you spot why ...Bh3 was a blunder? Troitzky vs Vogt, 1896

@julesgambit How did you do? They have clobbered me everytime :)

underrated nyc tourist experience: play the chess hustlers in the parks

What a game! Not every day you can see so many mistakes from Magnus!

@ImShahinyan Be8 mate!

@ImShahinyan Ke5 c4 Bd5 mate is pretty!

White mates in 2 Can you solve this in 2 minutes? ⏳

@NealBruceBC Can you get away with the queen sac and then the pawn push?!

Pretty Black to move and win that I missed in my blitz game. 🤔 I will remember this idea for next time. 💡 #chesspunks

Today!

@RoizMichael83 QxQ would have won the bishop right?

One of most painful mistakes took place yesterday in FM Vlatkovic, Milos - CM Vujacic, Igor, Montenegro League 2026. Black is clearly better here, but the game saw 1...Qb7... What's wrong? 🧐

@Ankiii_i My first chess tournament in Philly I saw two top players scrap in the hallway at the Adams Mark hotel. I was thinking chess sure is a contact sport!

Chess twitter?? Tell me something interesting about chess

@SusanPolgar Qb5 looks like such a thematic move. Bd6 can be spicy!

White to move. How should white proceed? What is the best plan? #ChessTactic #ChessPunks

@julesgambit I totally play different moves as black against e4 and d4 depending on my mood. It’s so true!

I can’t communicate my emotions properly but I can play chess and that’s basically the same thing

Sam Shankland does such a good job giving a clear breakdown on how to play against the Nimzowitsch. Such clear lines! #chessable

@RoizMichael83 Why does A3 look so great, breaking up the knights?

A memorable moment from Bykhovsky, Av - Roiz, M, 2001. I needed a win in this game to secure my 1st GM norm. Black is clearly better, but what is the way?🤠

@xxChessMaster The stuff dreams are made of! Two rook sacs for mate!

Brilliant or Blunder??🤔 Can you explain?

@LindenmuthWendi The Caro-Kahn is not better than the French.

What's your most profound thought today? 🤔

@Ravenismeee Jim Carrey.
