Sac the knight, sac the rook, sac the bishop!!! Fun bullet game I had today. I've been popping off with my sacrifices lately

So much of my free time is dead 😭. I've been starting to exercise recently to keep in shape more and to get the body I want, but that means less time for chess. Still worth it tho 🔥

I love "Would You Fall In Love With Me Again" so much. I've been listening to the Epic musical every single day, multiple times a day, for the past month lol. It's so amazing

Playing the violin again has been very relaxing :)

Tbh, my roommate helped me realize the autonomy in my life was slowly making me feel uneasy. I think gotta do something else for a little bit. I'll probably get back into playing my violin and taking a tiny break from chess except for the tourneys and my club. It's been 2 years since I've touched it

I got 2nd place at my tournament unfortunately, but still a good result! I was winning against the guy who got 1st place and I would've gotten 1st too, and I think I lost my train of thought for a moment and blundered. I had a fork in front of me and I didn't fork his pieces for some reason...

And this was from my 4th game!!!

This was from my 2nd game :)

So far I'm 2/2 out of 5 rounds. Lunch break rn and then onwards to victory!@@

I meant to say Nxb5

Here's a fun game I had with my friend at 2am to practice for today's tournament lol. I liked the way I played this endgame, but I did miss that Nxb4 sac idea in the endgame surprisingly

Beaufort open tournament today! Wish me luck!

That's an awesome pawn break!

Anyways, aside from the hrt progress, I'm gonna try and improve my chess tonight. My club pres let me borrow some of his books. Now I have "Excelling At Positional Chess", "My 60 Memorable Games", and "Winning With The Catalan" to read!

Work felt so weird today lol. I felt weird walking, and I can definitely tell that things are changing. No physical changes yet, but the sensations and feelings are different

Oh gosh. I just woke up after a nap, and I feel weak, and I don't wanna go to work in an hour. I finally got my estrodial today which was super exciting for me, but oh gosh do I feel so tired from it rn, and weak for now lol

Aside from black being passive there is actually one good thing white has here. It's that when you push the c pawn, white gets a passer(eval is like close to +2 or something)

It's still winning for white due to the position and black being passive

The point of this puzzle is to be more convincingly winning. Also, puzzles are made to find only the best line. This line guarantees a pawn and exchange

Yes! That's the only move to win after the sequence!

I wouldn't give an easy puzzle 😉

Kg7, Nxd8, Rxd8 traps the queen

The trick of the puzzle is just the exchange itself haha. White's queen looks trapped after that until you find the right move

Sorry my bad. I didn't know you were replying to someone else. This apps notifications are weird lol

It's not an exchange or pawn up. Look more closely. I said there is more than meets the eye lol

Accidentally put a question mark. I promise I know the answer lol

Sac the queen, rook takes rook? Knight check, rook mate

Tennant noooo 😭

This is a cool puzzle I just got in one of my games. It looks like a completely normal position, but there is more than meets the eye! White to play and win!

What black can do here shocked me, and I actually thought I was losing for a second until I figured it out lol

Been a while since I posted a chess game of mine. Fun King's Gambit miniature I got where my opponent didn't know what to do after h4. There were many ways to win in this game, but I tried getting a cool mate by dragging the king to the center of the board lol
