Noted by @phchess.bsky.social in his videos for Chessable on Bronznik & Terekhin's Techniques of Positional Play. I'd worked through the book years ago and thought the video would be a nice review. It's much more than that. Like a professor teaching & expanding on a colleague's work. Excellent stuff

Good @chessdojo.bsky.social talk with @phchess.bsky.social on the FIDE elections, and chess politics generally. PH is an outspoken guy on these issues, but when he's got more than the space of a tweet to share his views, you hear how thoughtful and measured they are www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZDM...

Jeg er blitt portrettintervjuet i Dagsavisens lørdagsutgave. Det føles absurd – for jeg opplever meg som en «Mr. Nobody». Men først og fremst opplever jeg det som en viktig anerkjennelse og veldig stas. Lenke til artikkelen legges ut når den er tilgjengelig.
