Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 10/05/2025I recently crafted and completed a 6 hour chess boot camp at home. It was such an amazing experience that I wrote about it. I highly recommend trying it yourself. @Bennyficial1 #chesspunks www.patreon.com/posts/6-hour...patreon.com6 Hour Chess Training Boot Camp | Chess JourneysGet more from Chess Journeys on Patreon 290
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 30/04/2025That’s great. But … people losing to someone rated 500 had their rating crushed in the process. 100
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 19/04/2025I posted an updated episode of Chess Journeys Ep. 193. The audio is much better now. I discussed a wide range of issues such as why I came back to chess, handling disappointments, new resources, resource reviews, and many others. #chesspunks open.spotify.com/episode/6EWq...open.spotify.comEp. 193 Dr Scull's Chess Musings (1650 USCF) (Fixed)Chess Journeys: Tales of Adult Improvement · Episode 070
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 31/03/2025I'll be talking to friend of the show GM Noel Studer early week for Chess Journeys. If anyone has any questions you would like answered let me. #chesspunks 010
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 31/03/2025So happy to see that people are liking my Chessable course: chessable.com/chess-journe.... This review is particularly kind. Anyone else think that I should start writing the sequel? (Or am I already doing that??) #chesspunks 160
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 28/03/2025So rewarding to see that people are enjoying my Chessable Course. Thanks for the kind words Joe, and I hope it helps you win some games! #chesspunks www.chessable.com/chess-journe...chessable.com 050
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Can't believe I'm completing reviews of my own Chessable course. Here's the last puzzle, with a David vs. Goliath motif. Black to move. #chesspunks www.chessable.com/chess-journe... 230
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Nice work! I love to see the hard work paying off during games. 000
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 18/03/2025I’ve heard that as well, but the name Dvoretsky makes me think that I’m probably not good enough yet to read it. 010
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Now that’s dedication. Any thoughts on the course so far? 120
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 16/03/2025My first course has been published on @chessable today! It focuses on making our tactical knowledge more accessible during games. As I've talked a lot about on Chess Journeys, turning knowledge into skill. Let me know what you think of it. #chesspunks www.chessable.com/chess-journe... 3273
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 07/03/2025I think the broadness is making it hard to improve. But it seems to be a variety of moves. Queen options are one category. But there seem to be many types i missing. 000
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 07/03/2025The biggest weakness in my game is seeing my opponents’ best moves. After months, I am still struggling. Any suggestions for improving this part of my game? #chesspunks 850
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 02/03/2025This week on Chess Journeys I spoke with Emily from www.twitch.tv/emilyplaysch....

Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Yet another rapid game where a "boring" exchange Slav that I end quickly with fireworks. Anyone else find this opening leading to fun games, or am I the only one? #chesspunks 140
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Turning your opponent's unsound gambit into a checkmate miniature is the height of joy. #chesspunks 130
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 16/02/2025This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with my coach NM Gopal Menon.

Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Last week on Chess Journeys, had a great chat with Shaun. We talked a lot about the challenges of not seeing rating points when you are working on your chess. I appreciated his attitude of not talking negatively about yourself.

Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I just won my OTB game with a move right out of my upcoming Chessable course. Black to move. Would you recapture with Nxf6? It's satisfying to see the practice pay off in games. #sneakyqueen #chesspunks 150
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Exciting stuff. I wonder if it's actually great, or if it was just the first strategy book that I read? 010
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I have a podcast called Chess Journeys, where I interview adults from all parts of their journey. It would be great to hear more about yours, if you would be up for sharing. 030
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 22/01/2025What a great idea. I could post some recaps with my takeaways and coach takeaways. 100
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Chesscom puzzles are so interesting. Some low rated ones are so challenging. This puzzle is rated 2558. White to move. #chesspunks 370

Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Loving Erwich's 100 Tactical Patterns You Must Know. Has anyone made a pgn with the 100 flashcards yet? I figured I would check before I made one myself. I'm planning to put them into a flashcard program. #chesspunks 3112
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Finally recorded a Road to 2200 game that wasn't decided on a tactic. Look forward to Episode 31, it's a fun one. But for today I present a heartbreaker.

Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 16/01/2025This week for Chess Journeys, I will be providing my thoughts on a variety of topics. Is there anything you would like to hear my thoughts on? #chesspunks 230
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Good suggestion. Any other ideas of what to put there? 000
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Had a last minute cancellation for Chess Journeys tonight. Is anyone free to share their story at about 7 pm pacific tonight? #chesspunks 111
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Recorded 25 episodes of the Road to 2200. I'd love to hear your feedback. Wondering if I should continue making the series. If you've seen 1 or more episodes please give me your thoughts on it. Does it need improvement? Is it just not good enough?

Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 13/01/2025This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Deven about his journey into chess as an adult. He quickly rose to 1200, but got stuck. He credits much of his rise from 1200 - 1600 to his coach, analyzing games, tactics, and working on endgames. #chesspunks open.spotify.com/episode/40lP...open.spotify.comEp. 179 Deven (1600 Chesscom)Chess Journeys: Tales of Adult Improvement · Episode 051
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Just recorded another episode of The Road to 2200 and I learned something truly shocking. Tactics win and lose games! #chesspunks 350
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 13/01/2025That's awful news. I hope your club finds a new place to play. I messaged you about some chessnut games. 000
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Another classical win tonight with the Chessnut Pro board. Broke 2100 Lichess. The game was marred with some terrible blunders. But I will take the win. #chesspunks Black to move, can they take the b4 pawn? 5130

Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Club was closed tonight. Stayed home and played a 30/20 game on Lichess with my Chessnut Pro. It was a great experience, and I will be doing this a lot more. Let me know if you are up for the occasional 45 minute game. Black to move. Why does Bxc6 lose for white here. How did I respond? #chesspunks 460
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Looks like g5 wins. Forces king to move letting you get the a pawn and coming back in time if they push the d pawn. 110
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Still looking for someone to interview for Chess Journeys this week. Preferably Monday at 8 PM pacific. Let me know if you are available. Thanks. #chesspunks 220
Dr. Scull @drscull.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Episode 17 of the Road to 2200 is up. The biggest takeaway is: do I really know that little about the openings I play?? How? I do study them, I promise. Also, attacks don't have to led to mate. I hope you enjoy this one. youtu.be/IwJtTlM-zc4 #chesspunksyoutu.beThe Road to 2200 - Episode 17YouTube video by Dr. Skull 050
