The Greatest Underdog Story in Chess History
The door bursts open and I wake up.

Got to use the expression "time to dust off the old chess pieces" today. But only because i was sanding down plaster and I forgot to tidy my antique set...
Thumbnail fixed! The Chess Coach Ono podcast episode is live. Thank you @theonozone.bsky.social for joining me and discussing topics around adult improvement. I really enjoyed it! Video below. #chess #chesspunks #podcast
Love Stjepan Tomic, but he has made it pretty tough to find information on actual hanging pawns.
Black to move and win. White pawns coming towards you. I couldn't solve it, but jingle bells... What an absolute Christmas tree of a puzzle. Merry #chesspunks
Just played this memory game with my kid and it almost convinced me to quit chess.
So I told my designer to create a thumbnail for my upcoming episode with @theonozone.bsky.social . And here is what he gave me. #YokoOno #chesspunks
Inspirational #chesspunks quote of the day. No. 2: Chess love and self love are like Harry Potter and Voldemort. Neither can live while the other survives.
Thinking about sharing daily inspirational quotes for the #chesspunks No.1: The ego catches up to the rating just before happiness sets in, confining the chess player to eternal misery.
I'd love my opening repertoire way more if we could just all agree that the King's Indian is banned.
Imagine my surprise reading the Guardian's recap... I'm thinking woah, 1. Kf3! Ding must've fallen off his chair. Should probably get my chess news from chess websites...
Hey #chesspunks, @benjiportheault.bsky.social latest post is a cracker: The other day I went through my entire white repertoire. Every line. Took me three hours. I thought this was a nice example of how you can train and mimic the intensity of a classical OTB game. Any other ideas?

It's my 4th chess birthday (and 33rd actually birthday) today. Won my first game for Team 3 last night to draw the match 4-4 which was a decent gift. 👨🚀
My dutch wife still takes personal offense to my choices against d4.
How is your week going #chesspunks? Also if anyone has any confidence I can borrow that would be fantastic.
A good amateur repertoire should give extra importance to the weird stuff Joe who picks his nose plays.
Hey @boldmovebydan.bsky.social remember that rapid game we played? Gukesh either stole my prep or Ding nabbed yours... Either way, very suspect.
NEW BLOG POST ♟️♟️♟️ What's the point of puzzles? Thanks #chesspunks for helping me get over my writers block.
What's the Point of Puzzles?
“Chess is 99% tactics,” is one of the most misleading chess quotes.

Haven't published a blog in a while but new #chesspunks twitter has me inspired. Coming this Thursday: What's the point of puzzles? You can tell me what you think it is but I already wrote it so it's too late.
Lego has really been eating into my chess time lately, but I've taken the same diligent improvement strategies that I learned from chess and applied them to Lego and you can't argue with the results. #chesspunks
What will the final #chesspunks tweet be on old twitter? I think it'll be a picture of Nigel Short and Elon Musk analysing a game of polytopia in their underwear.
Hey #chesspunks, is this where we are at now? Didn't tweet in a while because twitter. Last 3 months update: Learned 3000 moves of opening theory and worked hard on my openings. Crossed 2000 Lichess Rapid... 😊 OTB record this season 1/2/8... ☹️ How is chess life for everyone else?
