Chess Von Doom

Thank you, Scott! It means a lot that you let me know. Appreciate you listening.

If you haven’t heard @chessvondoom.bsky.social on Perpetual Chess yet, go listen! Tons of gems for #chesspunks improvers:
- “rule of three”
- grownups are skeptical
- losing is required
- make coaches’ advice work for you

Started shooting the videos this week!

I honestly didn't have a rooting interest apart from seeing good chess. I like both players, but Magnus is my guy.

Gukesh!

How's your day going?

Swimming with the sharks today. #chess #chesspunks

Sound counsel. I receive the wisdom.

Hey I’m new here! Will be posting my favorite moments from the chess events, give me a follow if you like them 😃 #DingGukesh

I've had multiple "false starts" with streaming. The only time I've consistently done it is with the "Chess Cave Live" stream on Twitch with my coach, Ian Harris. That wasn't an official #chesspunks stream, though. If anyone would do the inaugural version of that I'm thinking it'd be Neal Bruce.

You're not wrong 🤣🤣🤣

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

I've never heard of them. What are they?

Yeah, AI isn't scary at all 👀

You took my idea 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love it! Keep after it, fam!

Today's Classical. This is a gif that is working in the preview, but I'm not sure it's going to work when I post. If it's not working, I won after my opponent hung their Queen. They fought, but I coordinated my pieces and found mate. #chesspunks #chess

Here in the US we're celebrating Thanksgiving today. I'm incredibly thankful for all of you. I am deeply humbled that any of you follow my awful chess playing 🤣. I have met some amazing people because of this beautifully cruel sport. Eternally grateful for you all.

I'm not particular. I'll watch all of it 🤣

Again, dude had less than 5 seconds. He had played a phenomenal game. I believe he did it so that I could have the meme 🤣

I'm getting a little bit better at managing my panic in positions like the one that led to this win. I guess you lose enough times by back rank that eventually you learn something, lol

It was mate in 2. In their defense they were SUPER low on time. But still...M2...

Qe7 🤣
