If you see a good move, look for a better one. It really only applies to sharp positions in classical games where there’s a good chance of a knockout. Most of the time you should play the good moves.

Heading to the airport at a way too early hour. AMA.

Have you considered looking to see where the long flight of stairs ends, rather than counting all of the steps?

Thank goodness! I was worried there wouldn't be any Giannis.

Close, but 3.g6 fg 4.Nxg6 Nf6 favors black.

Can you spot white’s path to an edge?

I think it’s something like mate in 35, but in blitz it’s not really findable. I ended up drawing via 50 move rule on move 123.

Gave up my bishop and held the draw many moves later. Could you win it for white?

Screwed up this blitz game by not seeing the second move of this combo. Black to play.

Every time you drop a story about Giannis leaving we will sign another Antetokounmpo.

You should visit during better times. It’s a fun place and you can play at the Marshall.

Bullet tactic. Black to play.

But season one’s “Way Down In The Hole” is clearly the best.

Landed the perfect trap for online blitz. Opponent must have thought I mouse slipped the bishop on the way to e3. What happened after Bxd2??

Maybe try Football 960.

We should shorten the time control to deal with the draw problem in football.

The kid is good but he’s not scoring on the best pitcher since Koufax.

Are you trying to get a Hyperaccelerated London? This is how you get a Hyperaccelerated London?

Bullet tactic of the day. White to play.
