Unfortunately, no matter how many enemies you think you have, there’s always more to be hateful toward. Fortunately, no matter where you are in life, there’s always something to be grateful for. Only you can choose to focus on.

Overhearing my 10yrold daughter tell her friend about “my job”: “He does chess. Well, kinda. It’s a lot of drama. Like, you’d think ‘it’s chess, it’s boring’ but it’s kinda more like a reality tv show.” 🤣🤣🤣

Never seen this channel before, but this video was super well done! Summarizing things well and describing the environment with clarity for a broader (non-chess) audience. Well done 👏 youtu.be/Y48s5vby2MY?...

Monday YACHT CLUB episode is up and it's a great one! @andybehrens.bsky.social and I interview Danny Rensch, the Chief Chess Officer of Chess.com and a chess master who survived growing up in a literal cult. Don't have to love chess to listen to this one. It's great! (info about subscribing 👇)
