Just finished listening to an episode of the Chess Experience podcast with @highgroundchess.bsky.social. It's a great one, can totally recommend 👍

I feel like #chesspunks over here are less into solving puzzles than over there. But let's still try!
Can you find a winning idea for Black here? 🤨

A social #chess experiment. Ask me an opening question and I'll answer it. I'm wondering if people still have opening questions like back in the day.

So I got curious about this platform ChessBook. It offered a pretty exciting feature of finding opening mistakes in my games...

White to win.
It's relatively easy to find a winning idea. But try to calculate it precisely until you're confident. It may help you in your future games 🙂

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your chess is not to play chess. Just take a break and come back stronger is what I'm saying. #chess

Just played a fun game against a GM on lichess.
In the position below, things looked really bad.
I'm losing a knight and there was no real compensation.
But then I saw this little trap which he actually fell into: 1...Bf5! 2.Qxf5?? Qc5+ 3.Be3 Nf3+, winning the queen.
