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

I honestly didn't have a rooting interest apart from seeing good chess. I like both players, but Magnus is my guy.

Sound counsel. I receive the wisdom.

I've had multiple "false starts" with streaming. The only time I've consistently done it is with the "Chess Cave Live" stream on Twitch with my coach, Ian Harris. That wasn't an official #chesspunks stream, though. If anyone would do the inaugural version of that I'm thinking it'd be Neal Bruce.

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 not particular. I'll watch all of it 🤣

Again, dude had less than 5 seconds. He had played a phenomenal game. I believe he did it so that I could have the meme 🤣

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

It was mate in 2. In their defense they were SUPER low on time. But still...M2...

Nice! I see what you did there.

There's also Lichess studies that can show you the basics. I recommend just diving in. Create an account and play the bots.

Nice to meet you, Nikki! You don't need an app to start - though there's a ton of great courses on @chessable.com that you can take that are free. Their "short and sweet" series will get you going.

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 🤔

What's interesting is the games are pretty close. It's one mistake either way

You've said this a lot. I need to listen

Chess Von Doom @chessvondoom.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

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

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.

Me pretending I know who žižek is. Also me mesmerized by your use of alliteration. (In my Carole King voice: D! Dialectically Disappointed...)

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