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 · 18/02/2025It's something I am also struggling with personally, I can feel my attention span shortening and I have to be so careful with it 🙃 010

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 · 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 · 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
