Looking to get a copy of the Woodpecker Method this weekend. Anyone in Los Angeles selling a copy, store or person? Ordering it will somehow take several weeks to arrive? #chesspunks

I’ve decided to try the Woodpecker Method. I’m using Ray Cheng’s amazing puzzle book, but all the positional pawns sac are tough. The Woodpecker puzzles are a bit too hard past the easy ones. Can someone suggest a puzzle book that I should use? 1750 USCF #chesspunks

@chessreads @GMFloresRios @GMJacobAagaard @kuljasevic I think you've mistitled this post. It should be the top 5 middlegame books that are too advanced for most chess improvers. Hopefully, one day I will be good enough to read them!

There's been a lot of chaos with flooding in my house this weekend. So, I'm in a last second desperate search for someone to interview tomorrow (Monday) at 4 PM pacific. All skill levels welcome! DM me or respond. Thanks. #chesspunks

Has anyone assembled a list of upcoming adult/senior U.S. chess tournaments. It's quite a task searching through every state, every couple of weeks, hoping they are now posted. It would be amazing if someone was already tracking this. #chesspunks

1-2 at the North American Open. Hoping to turn things around today. #chesspunks

As some of you know, I started getting into chess last spring. Last week, I was invited onto the Chess Journeys: Tales of Adult Improvement podcast with the incredible @DoctorScull to talk chess & tell my story. Listen here 👇, or your feed of choice! open.spotify.com/episode/2RxcrO…

What's the strangest place that you've played a chess tournament? Mine was a cold war museum while a lecture on the cold war was taking place. #chesspunks

Is anyone heading out to the North American Open in Vegas in a few days? #chesspunks
