CHESS. This is the sort of shitty checkmate with a fucking HORSE that used to happen to me all the time and now I can do it. I feel dirty for using the HORSE but still.

CHESS. Getting braver trying to counter attack. This fool allowed me to keep one of the stupid fucking HORSES on the board and I used it to win. Kill the horses. I can't emphasise this enough.

Looking back, I realise now that my brain had spotted patterns that I didn't want to see, when I borrowed this book from the library a year and a half ago. I do recommend it.

Reflecting on seeing father this weekend. People say that you die a thousand times with dementia. I'm very much left with "it's not the despair, it's the hope" feelings. Hurt, betrayed, above all, exhausted.

Leave aside the terrible ayeye poster for a moment: can you imagine the horror of accidentally ending up on this coach?

Vasily Ivanchuk did the famous "I fucking hate chess meme" but he keeps going with this incredible "kind faced old grandpa hates the thing he has to do every day" energy. Wears a nice football shirt to cheer himself up. Loses.

Jacob Rees mogg is right, and any nation that aims to define itself by ethnicity (yes, including those ones) is a shithole

CHESS. An appalling string of defeats, no good moves, then I pulled this one out of the bag. Queen sacrifice, lovely stuff.

Just a shitty bullet game, but: hang that in the fucking Louvre, lads

CHESS. fucked this game right up as black but you always have to remember that everyone else has it in them too. From NOWHERE

Father has been in hospital for five days now. Nothing we can do except wait and worry and be sad and cry a lot.

CHESS. I have to explain to you that I hate this game. And yet. My first ever successful queen sacrifice followed by an 11-move win when this Trumpton messed it right up.

...Qxf3!! followed by g2xf3 e2e1Q+ Qxe1 Re8xe1+ Kg2 and we're home and dry

Will be in hospital for a few days. He's playing it down of course.

Saw this on BBC sport and it's stinking the place out like fish in a workplace microwave. This reeks of A.I. (or shit writing)

Father has "had a fall".

Sb @xtasbe.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

CHESS. I have somehow hit a hot streak. Is my positional play good? No. Do I keep blundering pieces? Yes. Can I stay alive long enough so they fuck it right up themselves? That's the one

030

Sb @xtasbe.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

CHESS. I don't think this is a "brilliant" move, quite logical, but I will take the nice turquoise colour as my reward for being a good boy

CHESS. I'm becoming more confident to win games thanks to doing a shit load of puzzles so I can spot mating patterns. The shitty little bastard knight can't save you now, son

CHESS. Hikarubot keeps telling me to stop moving pawns, so I did. Lovely stuff. I have no idea if I'm doing well or not. I think it's solid progress for three months though from a virtual beginner

CHESS. I am dismayed by doing 91.1 games then losing to some piece of shit called ihatewomen29393842 in one of the rectangle states. However, this shitty, hateful, infuriating game gives you breadcrumbs e.g. this is the most beautiful checkmate I've ever done. Look at that. Woof.
