The Michael Savage of his day, surely.

Also, I guess this isn't a tweet.

You're one turtle deeper than I am. All I know of this matter is what I've read in your tweet right here.

Also, a strong AI chess coach would be great for analysis. I'd be interested in whether it could be made to coach based on level.
I won't be helped by being told that I missed a 12 move sequence that would leave me up a pawn.
I don't play like an engine, so I don't want to be coached like one.

Thank you. Little reminders about pawn structure and central control help. I can know the principles and forget them within a short amount of time. Reinforcement certainly helps.
I play on mobile, so I'll dm you what I have as a "share" option. I'll have to go on my laptop, if it isn't right.

I don't find this to be helpful coaching. I wish I were better at #Chess, so I could understand why Na5 was that much better of a move.
@rasmansa.bsky.social , any pointers?

I can either play chess or check emails.

Thank you!
I'm also on Lichess with the same name. Maybe we can play a game some time. I'm gonna need some time odds, but it could be fun.

I saw that he deferred most of it, so it's going to be taken as a yearly salary anyway.

I hope he plays out the whole contract. For his sake and for baseball's. I'm a Red Sox fan, so I don't care much for the Dodgers, but Ohtani is possibly the best baseball player ever.
If it doesn't work out, or he gets hurt, maybe he can restructure & have his own Bobby Bonilla day.

I thought you were mixing in philosophy for a minute.

Qh2 threatens mate so the rook would be safe.

It's hard to jump back & forth on the app from post to comment.

Wesley So is looking like he wants to punch his ticket to the 2024 Candidates Tournament. #chess

Yeah. I'm hoping he keeps playing at this level. He's gonna get close to Magnus again if things keep on going in the direction they're going.

Fabiano Caruana is back over 2800, and already has his ticket punched to the Candidates. With the chess he's been playing, what are his chances of winning the Candidates, and going on to beat Ding Liren? Will we have a new American World Chess Champion?

Thank you. Even on sale the video courses are pretty expensive. I need to get better at chess before I invest that much in a single opening.

Is it worth it to pay for the extra video on a Chessable course?

Without playing it out on a board, that's the best I can do. I thought I found a checkmate, but I talked myself out of it.

I know the show is widely popular, but so few people in my circle watch British panel shows of British game shows. I get excited anytime I see someone mention Taskmaster.

@rasmansa.bsky.social When you study an opening In chess, do you also study how to beat it? Conversely, can studying how to beat Anti-Sicilians help you to actually play Anti-Sicilians?
