@anothercohen did u drink some and get all hyped up from the caffeine and post this

Costco sparkling energy drinks slap. RIP Celsius

@MeerMaurits @chessmensch it was a draw... black's king is just fast enough i got lazy & didn't load up all the final moves haha

@nerdcircus_ @chessmensch Very nice, thanks for sharing! I assume this ended in a draw? The temporary queen sac was very cool 😁

this game is from this weekend's tournament vs. a 2100 OTB player this is probably the most bittersweet game of my life so far ! hopefully the below notes are interesting / instructive to any potential reader (1 / n)

.@chessmensch another tromp for you if interesting ! .@MeerMaurits b/c i know you sometimes enjoy unique tactical ideas

please learn from my mistakes ! it’s not always fun to study the tedious stuff but when you convert wins you’d otherwise squander i imagine it’s worth it in the end

@JDVance trumpstein admin controls presidency / senate / house and still can’t fix TSA

⁨We’ve all seen the chaos unleashed by Democrats at airports across the country. It’s preposterous that Chuck Schumer continues to hold TSA funding hostage. Thankfully, ICE will bring sanity to our airports starting tomorrow, but it’s far past time for Democrats to fund DHS.

@MeerMaurits @MaxChess_ also did the e4 -> d4 switch & i don’t think i’ll ever go back !

@MaxChess_ Spoken like someone who’s never played d4 😅 But to give a serious answer: a couple of years I switched from e4 to d4 because I wanted to learn different structures. I may switch back at some point but not yet.

Why would anyone play d4 when e4 is literally right there 😭

@spooky_JL have you heard of that store Kith ?

What’s up NYC. What are we waiting in line for today?

@hemeon wow !

This is such a long shot. My son graduated HS early (he's 18) and has 5 months before starting college. Is there anyone in my sphere who would be open to hiring him to draw graphics, creature concepts etc. he's very fast and very good. His portfolio in the replies.

i feel artistically fulfilled playing chess i feel connected to the pursuit of good ideas with the opportunity to create beautiful things i’m not sure what i’d do without it

@carney garry is 1,000x smarter & a better person than you

Stick to chess.
