Finished The Flesh King by @richardkadrey.bsky.social narrated by @voiceofjoey.bsky.social. Man, I love these books. Gritty and funny, with characters you just wouldn’t want to show up at your door but would be intrigued if they did.

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 www.chess.com/game/live/16...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

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

#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! #chesspunks #chess

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

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

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. www.chess.com/live/game/13...

Boooooom!!! #cheespunks I have been working so hard to get here. The last time I was close I tilted and dropped to almost 2450. I took time off, came back to chess, and FINALLY was able to hit this! (And it's difficult when you lose 75 points getting 2 wrong but only gain 5 when right) 😂.

Fide did it right. Harassment has no place in chess. #chesspunks www.fide.com/gm-christoph...

Boom! 1 year complete. Sometimes it was only doing 1 puzzle, but I made it a habit to consistently log in and do it. #chesspunks @chessable.bsky.social

The monthly bits on @chess.com are just a lot of fun to play. I ended up losing this game against their 2650 both.....but man there were definitely chances. 2550 performance rating for him, 2250 for me. #chesspunks #chess The Mastermind Beat Me! www.chess.com/game/compute...

Crazy I didn't see the Mate in 2 when I played Nh5+ at the end of the game. I was simply wanting to open up my dark squared bishop. I spent way more time than I should have before playing Nf6# because I was looking at where to place my bishop 🤣. Thinking in chess is weird #chesspunks

Little unboxing video of the #chessnut EVO. Haven't dove too far into it, but this board is really cool. It goes nicely with the Air, Pro, and Go that I already own. #chesspunks #chess

I have shown more restraint in not opening the Chessnut box because I have to "adult" and "work" than anything in my life, and I don't like it one but. No I do not. #chesspunks

Will try and do an unboxing video of the latest Chessnut addition to our household #chesspunks (big fan of their products)

I've been a big chessnut fan for years, I own almost every board they out out. THIS feature here makes me want to own the Move. #chesspunks www.facebook.com/share/v/1ATN...

Insanity. All classical time control freestyle games. I'm not the biggest fan of playing 960, but watching it is definitely fun #chesspunks

#chesspunks has anyone used Fide Online Arena? I keep getting ads for it.

I apparently fell asleep doing chess puzzles. Look at the time #chessounks 😭😂

I probably could have played on, but I'll accept the draw by a FM. Honestly I didn't have a plan going forward except trying to centralize my king and control the open file. #chesspunks Check out this #chess game: ChessLearnerPermit vs bahamapapa - www.chess.com/live/game/13...

The puzzle rating swings are just insane on chess.com. I hit my highest at 2930 yesterday, I'm now down to 2730. #chesspunks.

I have conquered EARTH......day. Though according to the review Wallace played like a 1500 (which I find odd)

So thinking more on @lionchess.bsky.social and London I had the opportunity to push e5. Probably wasn't the best game, but I liked my position out of it. #chesspunks #chess #ihatethelondon Check out this #chess game: Dijkstra98 vs ChessLearnerPermit - www.chess.com/live/game/13...
