@CeeMacBee @sonofr True. It was a suicide.

Brexit was not an act of economic self-harm thecritic.co.uk/brexit-was-not…

@chess_feed Skewer and stalemate motif.

Why is this move brilliant? Qxg6+!!

@TrishHodkinson 17.6 million voted in 2016 Yes. And some are no longer here. Millions weren’t old enough. And the world has completely changed. What’s the argument now?

How dare he. How dare he make closer ties with the EU when 17.4 million people voted to leave those very said ties. HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!

@OccupyDemocrats @anders_aslund I’m not a big fan of hers, but now I feel sorry for her. She did everything her boss asked of her. She wasn’t responsible for his decisions—whether good or bad. Now she has become a scapegoat. Well, karma works, and no man or woman is exempt.

BREAKING: “SHOULD WE KEEP HER?” Trump throws loyal liar Leavitt under the bus and blames her for his awful approval ratings! In a truly nasty moment, Donald Trump publicly humiliated his own Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during a rambling Oval Office rant about “bad press” yesterday. While issuing his usual complaint that his negative press coverage is somewhere in the 90th percentile, Trump turned on Leavitt and said: “Maybe Karoline's doing a poor job, I don't know … You're doing a terrible job. Should we keep her? I think we’ll keep her.” Oomph! This is classic Trump, the same man who once made wildly inappropriate “it’s those lips, the way they move” comments and relied on her to lie for him every single day is now casually threatening to discard her like yesterday’s trash the moment he feels slightly she’s not selling his fiction well enough. Leavitt has been one of his most loyal defenders, bending over backwards to spin all his disasters. But as soon as Trump wants a scapegoat for his terrible press, he throws her under the bus in public for everyone to see. This is how Trump treats the people closest to him. He holds them at bay until they’re no longer useful, then humiliated and discarded without a second thought. If you can’t decide whether watching Trump publicly shame and threaten to fire Karoline Leavitt service disgusts or amuses you, please like and share.

@chess_feed Because of series of forks will follow and White will win ….

Why is this move brilliant?

@chess_feed B/o manoeuvre Rf6-h6

Why is this move brilliant?

@chess_feed 1.Rf7

White to move, mate in 2!

@ImShahinyan 1.Qf8

White mates in 2

@chess_feed 1.Qe5

White to move, mate in 2!

@chess_feed Breaking the pin, avoiding f8 and checkmating on c8.

White to move, mate in 2!

@ImShahinyan 1.Ke6 Kd8 2.Kd6 +-

White to play and win!

@ImShahinyan 1.Rg2 looks tempting….

White mates in 2!

@chess_feed Stalemate motif

Brilliant queen sacrifice, but why?

@BishopPair My first thought is 1.Nc6 with double attack on a7 and d8. If 1… Nxc6 2.Qxc6 - weak back rank. If 1…Bd7 then 2.Rxd7 +-

I was analysing the Najdorf and stumbled upon one of the most beautiful combinations I’ve seen. This is the champagne moment. White to play and win.

@chess_feed Simplification via a motif resembling Boden’s mate, leading to a winning endgame with the exchange up.

Why is this move brilliant?

@IrrefutableV @NickBryantNY Respectfully, frontline heroism doesn’t automatically make someone a good strategist or Commander-in-Chief. Where was the General Staff? Hard to believe Operation Epic Fury was decided by just three men. If so, something was clearly wrong.

@NickBryantNY The "Fox News Host" and his awards while serving in the military.

America launched its biggest war in the Middle East in 20 years, evidently, on the advice of two real estate guys and a former Fox News host……

@chess_feed A symphony of forks… 1-0

Brilliant move, but why?

@chesscom 64 methinks.

how many squares are in this image?

@chess_feed I’m not sure it’s the best move, but 1. Qxb7, transposing into a winning endgame, is very tempting.

Think you’re a chess tactician? White to move. What’s the best move?

@chess_feed First move of mate in 4. Last move is 4.Nc5#

Brilliant move, but why?
