I recently crafted and completed a 6 hour chess boot camp at home. It was such an amazing experience that I wrote about it. I highly recommend trying it yourself.

That’s great. But … people losing to someone rated 500 had their rating crushed in the process.

So happy to see that people are liking my Chessable course: chessable.com/chess-journe.... This review is particularly kind. Anyone else think that I should start writing the sequel? (Or am I already doing that??)

Can't believe I'm completing reviews of my own Chessable course. Here's the last puzzle, with a David vs. Goliath motif. Black to move.

I’ve heard that as well, but the name Dvoretsky makes me think that I’m probably not good enough yet to read it.

Now that’s dedication. Any thoughts on the course so far?

My first course has been published on
@chessable
today! It focuses on making our tactical knowledge more accessible during games. As I've talked a lot about on Chess Journeys, turning knowledge into skill. Let me know what you think of it.

I think the broadness is making it hard to improve. But it seems to be a variety of moves. Queen options are one category. But there seem to be many types i missing.

The biggest weakness in my game is seeing my opponents’ best moves. After months, I am still struggling. Any suggestions for improving this part of my game?

Yet another rapid game where a "boring" exchange Slav that I end quickly with fireworks. Anyone else find this opening leading to fun games, or am I the only one?

Turning your opponent's unsound gambit into a checkmate miniature is the height of joy.

I just won my OTB game with a move right out of my upcoming Chessable course. Black to move. Would you recapture with Nxf6? It's satisfying to see the practice pay off in games. #sneakyqueen #chesspunks

Exciting stuff. I wonder if it's actually great, or if it was just the first strategy book that I read?

I have a podcast called Chess Journeys, where I interview adults from all parts of their journey. It would be great to hear more about yours, if you would be up for sharing.

Chesscom puzzles are so interesting. Some low rated ones are so challenging. This puzzle is rated 2558. White to move.
