for the #chesspunks who are thinking about playing OTB youtu.be/iE2JYvCI7_Y

For everyone who asked me my secret to gaining 120 points in one tournament:

It's that time of night where I stop playing bullet on big screen and move to medium screen bullet on the couch

I finished the thing pls clap youtu.be/lVkPc3cOXNo?si…

@lularobs everyone knows if you arent immediately and consistently great at something, you are not allowed to do that thing or even try to get better. Thats how learning works right?

everyone’s getting caught up in me losing 8/10 games when I’m actually on 4.5/8 at the tournament he’s commenting on and also I don’t think I’ve played 10 games in a day any time recently 😭

dude 😭

Saw a suggestion in the twitch chat that @hellokostya should be replaced with Eric Andre and I can't stop thinking about it.

I overheard today: "Do you think Tal actually saw all that stuff or was he just messing around?" "that's what I do, I just play random sacrifices and hope for the brilliant mark." "you never know when a sac will be brilliant." THIS is your brain on chess.bad

@TacticsTime @Bennyficial1 @chessable I have no memory of this game and I refuse to claim it. Must have been someone else.

@Bennyficial1 @chessable Here is one that still gives me nightmares against @ZefCatt where I am up a rook and change and then she chases my king all over God’s green earth denverchess.com/games/view/9753

OK chess Twitter, save me from combing through hundreds of games looking for examples for my @chessable course. Can anyone think of examples from your games of positions where... 1) you aren't sure if you can safely grab material 2) you aren't sure which way to capture something (ideally from your own games, but GM games would do) DMs open, TIA!

I've gone from getting jumpscared by cardboard cutout Fabi to the real thing.

my first casual tournament in Saint Louis 🤗

@C_Castaneda_NL @IM_Rosen NO ONE WARNED ME

@IM_Rosen Ohh @zefcatt is here too.

Just your typical small local chess tournament

A youtuber's HIGHEST priority.

Pros: we gain ONE tempo by kicking the white knight on d4. Cons: the d5-square will be weak FOR THE REST OF THE GAME. the Sicilian isnt real

@chesscom @MrBeast I fucking hate everything about this (im in a bad mood)

fixed the @MrBeast bot to have the board setup like this 😎 you're welcome

My North American Open vlog is finally out. (link below)

my favorite youtube comment to date:

@ChessGainz you beat my mixed doubles partner but congratz anyway 🫡

Back in May 2020 when I started working seriously on chess again I was only rated 1900 but set the goal to become a master by the end of 2022. It took an extra year to achieve but I'm proud that I was able to pull it off in the most clutch way possible! 🚀

"@ZefCatt has a very poetic way of describing and relating to chess" "You speak about chess the same way artists speak about their passion" Some feedback on the latest episode of Ono Another Chess Podcast with Sara Herman🎙️ Want to hear Sara speak about chess some more + actually talk with her and ask her your chess questions?
