If you haven’t heard @chessvondoom.bsky.social on Perpetual Chess yet, go listen! Tons of gems for #chesspunks improvers: - “rule of three” - grownups are skeptical - losing is required - make coaches’ advice work for you

Today's Classical. This is a gif that is working in the preview, but I'm not sure it's going to work when I post. If it's not working, I won after my opponent hung their Queen. They fought, but I coordinated my pieces and found mate. #chesspunks #chess

Here in the US we're celebrating Thanksgiving today. I'm incredibly thankful for all of you. I am deeply humbled that any of you follow my awful chess playing 🤣. I have met some amazing people because of this beautifully cruel sport. Eternally grateful for you all.

I'm getting a little bit better at managing my panic in positions like the one that led to this win. I guess you lose enough times by back rank that eventually you learn something, lol

Smoke Detectors decided that they wanted to serenade me at 2am with my favorite song. It goes like this, "...beep.............beep............beep." I got up and played chess, of course. Won all my games 🤣. Now I'm like... Insomnia Chess 🤔

Been struggling for the past 3 days. You know how you reach that point where it's move zero, but you've lost so many games in a row you don't trust yourself to even play 1. e4 🤣 Yeah, that's where I've been living. Hopefully I've finally broken the losing streak. #chess #chesspunks #AddToBlackSky

You thought you wanted that rematch, didn't you?

This week's games. Ignore the ChessCom winning streak. I'm underrated in Blitz at the moment over there. Hit a new high for Rapid on Lichess. Solid week so far.

Tough games this morning. Won a piece here before my opponent lost on time. #chesspunks

It's kinda wild how quickly and organically people seem to be shifting over here from over there.

Great puzzle from GM Igor Smirnov. White to play and mate in 2.

Solve for white, then solve for black. (Solution in the thread)

This is telling. If you REALLY wanna laugh ---- I had better time management in Blitz 🫡🤦🏾‍♂️🤡🤣

I hate chess 🤣. Well, SLOW chess. Online. I think I might be done with Classical online games. I'm way too impatient 🤣. Even when I try to play slowly it only lasts for a few moves. Those of you who love slow chess online, how do you have the patience?

Polgar puzzle. White to play. This one didn't take me as long to sort out as I initially thought it would.

Today's 10+5 training game. Opponent stopped making moves with about 20 seconds on their clock in this position. I'm Blitzing because I ended with 10:18 on mine 🤣. Sigh. I have got to play slower.

For the life of me I can't seem to sort out how to make game gifs work here, lol. This was the final position of the classical I posted in the other...tweet? What are these posts called here? Blues? Skies? Flutters?

@cleomina.bsky.social So, apparently I had this all along and didn't realize I'd signed up for it 🤣
