Just a Chess Punk, trying not to bore people to death, while I try to improve at chess. #chesspunks

There’s nothing wrong with being either of those things. 👍

You need a new owner! 😂

That’s just embarrassing! 🤦‍♂️

I am loving the new haircut, has it inspired you to start playing the queen’s gambit and become a d4 player? 🤔

I can easily imagine @davehone.bsky.social whipping up a batch of those little butterfly cakes and then giving them all the correct markings and scientific names! 😂

@iszi.com I’ve just listening to this recent episode of the Terrible Lizards podcast, but when I looked at the thumbnail I couldn’t help but wonder why @davehone.bsky.social was wearing a bra? I soon realised my mistake, but it does look very odd! 😂

Number 20 was seriously hard, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one struggling with that. And even Grogu couldn’t help!

Just finished the Chess Journeys tactical workbook by @drscull.bsky.social on @chessable.com and absolutely loved it. I would thoroughly recommend it for any #chesspunks under 1600. I really hope he is going to do a sequel, I feel that I have learned a lot from this course. 💪

I’ve just finished your course and absolutely loved it, I definitely think you should do a sequel. 👍

Rebel Queen by Susan Polgar has just come out! Surely that would be a much better use of your time! 🤔

Life’s too short and there are too many other good books to read. 🗑️

That’s amazing! Come on! You’ve got this! 💪

I am really enjoying the course show far. I’ve just finished the Understanding and Naming the motifs chapters and I am loving the names and find they really resonate with me. I’m looking forward to getting to the rest of the course and putting those ideas into action. 👍

Why isn’t this book out sooner? I can’t wait to read it. ❤️

I love it! I’m so going to use that! 😂

Very exciting, did you buy that book?

Clearly his owner is a fool who knows nothing about chess! 😂🤣😂

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 21/02/2025
What great words of wisdom! I will try that in my next tournament! I’m sure the arbiter will be fine with that! That’s definitely fine, right? 🤔

Hi Bertie, pleased to meet you. You are very insightful, I look forward to revieving more of your chess wisdom! 👍

I only listen to chess ones, Perpetual Chess, Chess Journeys, The Chess Experience, New in Chess and Chess Cognition are all really good.

That’s harsh, chess is such an unforgiving game. 😔 ♟️ 💔

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 13/02/2025
I hope it helps and that you are feeling better soon.

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 13/02/2025
If I ever get round to reading it, I’ll be sure to post a review. 👍 There’s also an Andy Soltis book on defence, that is available on Kindle which sounds really good.

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 13/02/2025
Hope you’re feeling revitalised and ready for some more chess improvement. 💪

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 13/02/2025
I agree. I recently picked up this book, which I’ve heard is the next step up when it comes to learning defensive techniques.

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 13/02/2025
Nice! 👍

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 13/02/2025
Just finished this. It’s a great book on a topic that isn’t covered much, but which is incredibly important. I found some of the puzzles a bit easy, but it’s a great introduction for players rated under 1100. #chesspunks

Great work, long may it continue. 💪

I really hope that is true and wish you the best of luck on your continued upwards journey. 😀

Well I believe chess players generally reach their peak in their late 20’s or early 30’s, so any time after 33 if you ask me! 👍

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 12/02/2025
Yes, sadly I’ve fallen victim to that one too. 🤦‍♂️
010
Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 12/02/2025
I wish I could say that this is the first and only time this has happened to me! 😂

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 11/02/2025
I’m using the age card as my excuse too! 😂 In this case white was at the bottom, I just didn’t notice the little triangle which indicated that it was black to play. 🤦‍♂️

As #chesspunks we are always told we don’t need to work harder, we need to work smarter, to get the most out of our study time. Top tip, before you spend 15 minutes trying to solve a puzzle, check if it’s white or black to move! 🤦‍♂️ #chessfail

This is also supposed to be very good and is available on Kindle.

@drscull.bsky.social I know you are always looking for resources to become better at defensive techniques in chess. Have you come across this? I haven’t started it yet, but I’ve heard good things about it. #chesspunks

Oh no, how frustrating. I knew that there were some delays with it, but I had no idea it still wasn’t out! 😔

Wayne Frostick @wfrostick.bsky.social · 05/02/2025
Just finished reading this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Full of information, inspiration and advice for anyone looking for ways that can improve at chess or get more enjoyment out of the game. Definitely worth a read! 👍 #chesspunks

Awesome! I am genuinely so impressed by your efforts. I hope it brings you lots of success. And I hope I am able to follow in your footsteps at some point. 💪
