ROSE ATWELL: INTERNATIONAL MASTER!!!!! 🤩
Congrats to 17-year-old Rose Atwell on crossing 2400 in her GM norm tournament in Charlotte to earn the IM title!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

@silver83p I tried 1...Qxf5 2.exf5 Be3, which should fail to 3.Qc4, but my opponent missed it.

The @CLTchesscenter says that I reached 2400 FIDE in my live rating. I have 4 IM norms, so this means I'm now an IM-elect. Thanks to them for consistently organizing these events, and thank you to my family, friends, coach, and everyone who has supported me along the way. ♟️😃

I played an FM in round 3 of my norm tournament. And I won! I messed up the opening though, and we reached a queenless middlegame where I was worse. Below he took Rxb7. This is a mistake after Rd2+ Bxd2 Rxd2+ Kg3 Rxa2 when I should be better with 2 minor pieces for the rook.

@silver83p There's a forcing move so you can play Qxf5 afterwards

@bennettchess Interesting position, as we start up a rook. Just seems like there is a lot of pressure after 1...Qxf5 2 exf5 Nc2 after either 3 Nf1 or 3 Nf3, I suppose?

after my recent setbacks I am studying chess for 26 hours a day and getting pure chess injected into my veins.

@chessmensch Ok, but will definitely pick up a Traxler course if you think its playable.
English
@bennettchess Thinking about it, but d5 is a tough nut to crack. I already have two courses for the black side.
English
Unlikely to write a Traxler course. Need to keep a few of my secrets.

Can you find the top 3 engine moves here? Black to play

We're in a bit of a fix here. White to play & survive:

Solution: most solvers found:
1…g5! 2.fxg5 Rxh6 3.gxh6 Rh5 4.h7 Kf4! 0-1

From Forcing Chess Moves, Black to play & win in this van Wely game:
@bennettchess 1. … Qe1+ 2. Kh2 Bd6! with …Qxf2 threatened. If white plays 2. Qf1 … then just swap queens and play 3. Kxf1 Kg7 and march the king up the board. When it gets to … g4 the. … Be7 and snaffle the h pawn. Hard to stop that.

@eternalhopeoaks Organising a chess tournament with no chess players would be quite the challenge, I would think
