The play in this #WomensWorldChessChampionship is so unimaginably high caliber to me. Wow. ♟️

Another one! Thank goodness Levy screamed “Crazy lines, like KNIGHT d7, blocking the check!” in the Chessly course video; I would’ve panicked there otherwise 😂

I just end on the coolest checkmate, whoever that happens to be 🤣

Neither is a good thing 😂

Recording some baroque and classical viola rep next month, so I’m sneaking in some practice at work 😅🤷🏻‍♂️😂🎻

Is it narcissistic to secretly love when they put pictures of me in the early music magazine? 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Next goal: do something cool enough to warrant an article? 🤣🎶

This team is iconic; legit so excited to see this show!

Love this new #ChessUp2 board, @chess.com! Also, I love how quickly my mood changes the moment I realize my losing game turned in my favor 🤯😂♟️

Love this! Look at Silver! 😍

History books:

Sac the queen! Botez gambit and Bodin’s mate 🤣
