Double rook sac for the checkmate is a great way to gain some confidence after a really big slide over the past 1.5 months that had me lose a lot of confidence. #chesspunks #chess

Its a marathon for sure!!
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
I rarely play on lichess but competition is good!
@gothamchess.bsky.social coach bot understood the assignment #chesspunks #chess #therooooook
I bought this for my wife last Christmas and she absolutely loves it
I found this site called chessiverse.com and I have to say it's really fun. I use the chessconnect app and my chessnut board and when I play long games on it, it feels like I'm playing a human. Ratings are closer to USCF than online it seems. #chess #chesspunks #chessiverse
I played the KID when I was in high school a lot. And just started playing it again. This came up at just the right time
#chesspunks I cannot explain the pure joy and excitement of being at Checkmate: USA vs India. We had VIP tickets and my wife and I were able to bring our daughter who got her closeup in the official @chess.com stream!! The roar of the crowd and the payers were enough to invigorate me. #chess
At Checkmate: USA vs India and it's off the chain!

This amazing video on the KID by @drcanchess.bsky.social goes straight to my favourites!! Hope it helps in my game tomorrow! 💪🏼 #chesspunks youtu.be/dC2Houwhegg?...
The air is totally worth it for the price point especially when they do their sales
Can not can't. It just opens a the website not an app so I'm assuming it does the same as the evo
Yeah the reason they can't is because they use something called chess vision where if there is a board on the screen it can read it. So it can do chessbase too.
I have both air and pro. The air got the most use when I was playing more because it was right on my desk. The pro is tournament size so it takes up a lot of space
Wow Niemann won DECISIVELY in round 1 of the #freestylechess event in Vegas. #grandchesstour #chess #chesspunks
When you've lost your magic playing #chess and losing your passion, what better way to get it back than to say "screw it, I'm going to write a @chessable.com course". It's not like I don't have a million other things going on. #chesspunks
Absolutely lol. If I'm below 1675 then I'm going through it 😂
Not a bad idea my friend
😂😂😂
@chocattak.bsky.social I don't think you do this anymore but this is a good video to watch
Maybe when things are stressful and you need to take your mind off things, and you think chess is a good outlet.....don't play blitz....😂😂 #chesspunks #chess
Yes but then Rh1 is checkmate. They assume if you found that then you found the easy followup
Okay #chesspunks maybe I can get some clarification. I played a hell of a game, 10 moves into book of Ruy Lopez until I pushed a4 on move 11. I get they "why" but I just don't get the when I guess. Maybe someone can explain it to me like I'm 5.

Edit to say that you cant do that online, and I may be wrong in blitz but in armageddon tie break you can
You can, but OTB you don't have to call check. If they don't see it you can just take the king and game over. It's VERY rare at high levels
In blitz or armageddon you can take the king and win.
Sure but some progress is better than not acting at all. They still need to get better, I do agree
Edit: Nvm: didn't see the Knight
