@turnabouttess I often share your opinions. But every post you make is just pure negativity. A graphic?! Really? I really hope it doesn’t reflect your outlook on life. But you do you, I will just mute you.

WHY WOULD YOU PUT HIS HEAD DIRECTLY OVER THE 5+1 SCORE? JUST TO MAKE PEOPLE DO ARITHMETIC TO FIGURE IT OUT???? IS THIS MY MATH HOMEWORK OR A PROFESSIONAL GRAPHIC FOR GODS SAKE. WE CAN TELL YOU FIRED YOUR ARTISTS.

@EugenePerel half the field was Levy‘s age or older…

Levy aka GothamChess scoring 8/9 vs mostly kids is perhaps one of the best results ever for an adult improver! 🔥 🔥🔥 Do you agree?

@whimsnickal Major congrats! I know someone who also has this course but keeps ignoring it…

Silman? Completed it mate. The last chapter, “Endgames for Pure Pleasure” was exactly that - heartily recommended. Shereshevsky (with an eternal side of Dvoretsky) next. #chesspunks #endgame

@zenmadman @mencikdavid Poker has prepared us well 😂

@mencikdavid Yes! 1) Pause what you're doing if it's safe to do so. 2) Observe & accept how you’re feeling. Remind yourself it’s okay to feel how you feel, but that you can control/influence how you proceed from here. 3) Draw attention to your breath. Gradually slow & deepen breathing... 1/x

Are there any methods of dealing with Tilt in general. Asking for a friend. #chesspunks

@HighgroundChess -The London will give you a solid center. -A system based opening is one way to simplify and not worry too much about opening until you‘re 2000 -I agree with the downside of initially missing out on learning opening principles on a fundamental level.

I have to completely disagree with this suggestion. - disregards fighting for center - not good for chess development - falls into same patterns which can stifle improvement - beginners shouldn’t follow a system but follow good opening principles Consider openings after 2000.

@ChessVonDoom If a coach has assigned this blitz puzzling, fair enough. Otherwise I fully agree with @HighgroundChess, standard set and taking your sweet time is way more beneficial. #unsolicited

Today's tactics work. Managed to shave several seconds from my solve time, though 18 isn't gonna have anybody throwing me a parade. The work continues. #chess #chesspunks

@ChessVonDoom I love this site. Which set are you solving? Blitz?

Did an hour of problems on ChessTempo.com today. The goal is to train my mind to start seeing these patterns faster. I am very slow in my ability to see tactics. This has to improve for me to get to the level I want to be. #chess #chesspunks

@will_chess @lichess That is quite the volume! Why not more rapid? I think you would benefit even more. I often go on blitz binges myself but I never consider it training

@bongospirit @lichess Varies. I have been guilty of doing loads of puzzles and not playing, but I’m playing around 10 games of 5+3 a day now too.

Just notched up 20,000 puzzles on @lichess . Joined on 14/01/21, so that’s an average of around 18 puzzles a day. So, I’m ok at puzzles, but mediocre at the actual chess. #chesspunks

@ineedacortadito Is it the square size or are these pawns just a bit thicc?

Almost threw up at the price but pretty wood chess set ♟️

@ChS9980 @ScoobyChess Always a great feeling! Congrats!

Just made it to 1300 in a VERY nice game! So happy! 185 days/ 108 rapid/ 248 blitz games since 1200. Celebrate with me #chesspunks !!! 🥳🥳🥳

@Lona_Chess @chesscom @ChessExplained What’s the recommended line?

@chesscom Caro Kann. I have a good win rate against it. I owe this to @ChessExplained's Keep It Simple 1.e4 course. 🔥

What's your favorite opening to play AGAINST?

@HighgroundChess @lichess Savage! 💪

Back over 2200 @lichess Whoooo! Next goal 2300! Lets GOOOOOO! #chesspunks

@Nicholas_Sloan_ @thechessgym1 @natesolon @chessable Wait, what?! How can that be. I got 1850 (standard - „medium“ difficulty) and you are definitely better than me at chess (been following you for a while). Do you set a time limit? I don’t 🦥

@bongospirit @thechessgym1 @natesolon @chessable I’m hovering around 1500 right now. They are hard. I’ve been up to 1550 ish.

Chess today. 11/20 on Chesstempo. Blindness?! 1 hour Art of Checkmate book OTB Moved in all correspondence games Completed all @thechessgym1 Daily’s - Fundamental, Intermediate, Hard Missed @natesolon Hard puzzle. All @chessable Reviews. Productive day! #chesspunks

@Nicholas_Sloan_ I would tune in to watching you play online training games (maybe 15‘?) incl. subsequent analysis. Seeing the game unfold is more intruiguing than analysis only.

Thanks everyone who supports my chess journey. As I am fast approaching the subscriber goal there is still some work to do in hours. Thoughts on how we can get more watch time? What would you all like to see? #chesspunks #chess

The first correct answer gets a 3-month ChessMood membership 👇🤩 Tomorrow is the day! We're publishing our new podcast episode with Eric Rosen and we'll also find out who the winner is 🥳

working on pawn endgames and my basic mechanics definitely need work. Here black is completely winning but only with one move/plan - the rest is a draw #brutal #chesspunks

Failed to find the killer blow multiple times in this game. What should I have played in these two spots? #chesspunks

@NoelStuder Love your stuff a lot but this take is off the mark. Sure, they nurture demand for opening courses etc. But trying to keep us struggling?! 🤔
