Wow, your pawn sacrifice was so creative in that blitz game!
Ummm… Actually, I was not focused and blundered the pawn. 😅🙈🤣

@MeerMaurits @general_abn Study endgames. Great advice, though quite broad, I think! 🙂

@general_abn Study endgames 😅 We’ve all been there though. Converting a good position into a win is hard!

Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊

A fairly obvious Black to play & win, but it was fun to play it:

@bennettchess And white's attack looks scary, but I guess no forced mate there?

@MeerMaurits @chessable People have more time at the weekend to watch the intro videos and buy stuff...

@bennettchess @chessable Wait they didn’t do Saturdays either!? But people play chess all days of the week! This makes no sense…

@chessable are soon releasing a new course "100 Basic Endgames You Must Know" by de La Villa.
It's aimed at club level players (not IM/GMs), and judging at the sample info and contents list, I predict it will be a bestseller!

@MeerMaurits @chessable Or...whisper it...Saturday AND Sunday.

@bennettchess @chessable This important question deserves an answer, and the answer deserves to be “yes we will start doing that” 😄

@chessable Ever thought about releasing courses on a Sunday?

@vonGottschall @MeerMaurits Both Maurits (I am guessing) and I have a lot of books/courses we haven't studied.

@MeerMaurits @chessable I have had to extract this info for my students from the main 100 EYMK, up until now. Very clumsy.
English
@bennettchess @chessable Sounds great. Looking forward to it 😄

@MeerMaurits @chessable I am not, but it is next on the list to be published.
