Legit one of the #funniest things I’ve ever seen on #YouTube: youtu.be/YgeYScYe8wI?...
“How to play #chess properly.”
It might be a little technical for some of you novices, but really #hilarious substantive look at #chessopenings and #middlegame play. The ending is a BIT chaotic 🤣

White plays 34. h4 with a bid to kick the h5-knight. Now Black to move and win. Extra credit for the combination! [Link to the full game tomorrow.] #chess #middlegame #initiative #activepieces
Working to improve my game. Just remember that the principles are timeless: centre, develop pieces, protect the king, then attack.
Expecting good tactical vision! #chess #middlegame #initiative #activepieces

Reports of the organized peaceful Hands-Off protests yesterday exceed anything in my lifetime. More than fourteen hundred locations, from hamlets and villages to the biggest cities.
In #chess terms, the #middlegame plans and tactics are on board as Americans step up for justice.
On a blue couch 4 books and a Kindle are gathered together. The 4 books are The Essential Rumi, Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey, The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo, Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi, the cover of Middlegame by Seanan McGuire is showing on the Kindle. A box of highlighters is next to all the books.
Read one book at a time? Couldn't be me.
