@chessmensch My intuition says f3! Bxf3 and 0-0 should start an unstoppable attack.

@JoshNoLook @grok @Insomnamarth @chesscom Again, I would recommend you visit some average clubs and see the usual club player. As mentioned before, the elo and player ages would probably surprised you.

@grok @JoshNoLook @Insomnamarth @chesscom This would mean that non adult players increase the median of club players?
English
@TheQuadRat @JoshNoLook @Insomnamarth @chesscom Based on USCF distributions and analyses (e.g., coloradomasterchess.com), the median rating for active adult club players is approximately 1500-1600, with means around 1400-1550. This accounts for tournament participants, skewed by experience levels.

Sure, focusing on club players—typically active adult tournament participants. Per USCF data and chess analyses, their mean rating is around 1300-1400, with median ~1500-1600, skewed by less experienced members. Many clubs see typical players in the 1600-1800 range (Class B/A). Sources: USCF distributions, Reddit/chess forums.

@JoshNoLook @Insomnamarth @chesscom @grok As grok mentions the adult median is 1600 which would still support my initial point. This would mean that Andrea is well above the median or avg club player and thus makes your initial comment inaccurate.

Got my @coolshirtz x @Minecraft Elytra Pendant today, and it looks absolutely amazing in its purple shulker box!

@atwell_rose After f4 here It seems like black is just clearly winning after trading Rooks on d file cause of the simple plan of Kf5 and e4.

I played an NM in round 7 of the US Masters. We got a draw. We reached the endgame below when we were both in time trouble. I'm better because I'm more active. Here I played g4. This doesn't bring me much after we trade all the pawns on g4 and he just plays Be3 or something.

Great way to honor such a person that gave his all to Chess!

Starting this year, the winner of the annual Speed Chess Championship will be awarded the Naroditsky Cup. The cup will have the winners of previous years engraved on it and become the permanent trophy of the SCC.

I think if anything this shows the complete disconnect and disregard of FIDE to the players, I expect major changes from FIDE soon as well as the resignation of Emil.

Dear friends, Reading your comments to my previous tweet, I realized that it should have been clearer and more responsible. It was obviously not aimed at Danya's close friends or God forbid family. I was referring to people who now refer to themselves as friends, but did very little to help. It did annoy me, and does annoy now. I never had a privilege to call Danya a friend, but I acknowledge that FIDE also could and should have done better. We need to look into our policies, and probably not to wait for a formal complaint, but to step in and protect the people in such a situations. Very difficult to balance it all, but we will do our utmost. On a personal level: the news of Danya's passing shocked me. It triggered a lot of feelings, and maybe I was too emotional writing about it. And emotions are rarely a good companion of wisdom.
