Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Just caught up on the Dr Lupo chess cheating scandal and my oh my. Such a shame. And such a fool to think you won't get caught. Yes, chess can make you feel stupid. Losing at chess sucks. But there is NEVER an excuse to cheat. 1171

Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Hi everyone it's been a while! Work has been kicking my butt 🙃 How are you? How is your chess? 230
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 11/02/2025God, Judit Polgar is SUCH a pleasure to listen to as a commentator. What a powerhouse 🤩 1151
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Have been enjoying the change of pace watching freestyle / chess960. Sparks so much more curiosity in me than standard chess right now! #chesspunks 180
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 31/01/2025My brain has been feeling really lazy when it comes to puzzles lately. Just trying stuff rather than actually working it out to the end. Anyone else had this and found a way through/change that worked? #chesspunks 350
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Good morning from my countryside retreat in England ♥️ it was chilly but beautiful! 180

Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 28/12/2024I'm on holiday in Spain but having a cosy night in to watch the chess today. Have I missed much drama? 👀😅 020
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 24/12/2024One of my favourite musical discoveries this year has been Chris Christodoulou. Stunning game OSTs with incredible references back to prog rock, which I grew up listening to. Worth a listen! 020
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 19/12/2024People playing chess for relaxation or for fun with friends are just as much part of the chess community as pros or people who only play "serious" tournaments. Both are just as important for a thriving community 🙏 2163
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Smashed out 75kg x 10 reps for my last set today after 2 sets of 8 reps. We back!! 🏋️♀️ 160
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 12/12/2024What an incredible story. Huge congratulations to Gukesh. I've been so impressed by his maturity and inner calm/strength over this world championship cycle. ♥️✨ 0180
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Wow. What a match. Personally I hope Ding experiences this ending as a massive weight off his shoulders and he starts feeling a lot better. Losses are never easy, though 💔 1170
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 11/12/2024What is your 2024 game of the year? (Aside from chess!) Think mine has to be Elden Ring DLC 😍 #chesspunks 670
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 09/12/2024No matter whether Ding loses or wins, you just want to give him a big hug #DingGukesh 0200
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 07/12/2024It was my birthday recently and my little gift to myself was this gorgeous vintage magnetic travel chess set 🥰 Isn't it lovely? #chesspunks 4540
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Happy weekend, friends! Any exciting chess plans between now and Christmas? #chesspunks 550
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 05/12/2024I'll always fondly remember Adam's support for us at the European Junior Chess Championships when I was a kid. He'd sit with us to analyse after long games: win, draw or loss, to celebrate or commiserate. I remember his kindness & patience. And his love for the game. 44 is too young 😞 rip. 0130
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 02/12/2024What food are you getting for yourself this Christmas/holiday season with absolutely zero guilt? For me it's some fancy gingerbread 🥰🎄 and fancy cheese! Not to have together though 😅 350
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Please, someone get Ding some icecream 😅 #DingGukesh #DingChilling 060
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Stockfish: Cup went from +0.3 to +0.1 what a BLUNDER 0162
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Saturday morning gym! 💪 Back up to 65kg x10 reps for 3 sets on deadlifts. Gave the open bar a try for the first time today. Not sure if I liked it compared to the standard bar 🤔 Feeling strong! 1100
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Exchange french making me want to go back to bed this Saturday morning 😂😴😴😴 2130
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 29/11/2024A reminder to chess folk coming here from the bad place to search and use block lists of content / people you don't want on your feed 🙏 Bluesky has a strong block culture. Trolls are not worth your energy! 0180
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 28/11/2024The thing I'm most upset about with the Chess World Championship is that I've seen zero wholesome content with Ding + Rapport together 🥲 I need updates on the best bromance in chess 🥹 #DingGukesh 1220
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I'm curious - what's your favourite kind of chess content to watch on twitch/YouTube? #chesspunks 2090
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Every time I've opened up Twitter/X in the last couple weeks I've severely regretted it within 2 minutes 🙃 So happy more chess folk have made the move here! 4440
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 27/11/2024What a comeback! Now I have to come to terms with the fact it's a rest day tomorrow 😭 #DingGukesh 0140
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Please can we return to a world where chess players play with reflective glasses? 😄 2181
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Who else is starting to think Ding was playing poker when he said he'd only been preparing for 3 weeks 😂 6150
Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 26/11/2024When I'm dealing with anxiety sleep is always the first thing to suffer. So I'm glad Ding said he was getting good sleep! #DingGukesh #chesspunks 2180

Cleomina @cleomina.bsky.social · 23/11/2024After a couple months off with my head/ear injury, we back to Saturday morning gym updates. Taking it slow and steady but got some deadlifts and pullups in, and some split squats 🥰🏋️♀️ #FitnessSky 160
