A street joke turned into a shaggy dog story as told by Tolstoy. Norm was the best.
This is even better than I remembered it, mostly because of Conan's increasing discomfort. (It's possible that @joshgondelman.bsky.social first shared this years ago.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-MJ...

Is ten losses in a row in blitz worth the win that followed? What if I told you the win ended in a windmill tactic? #chesspunks

Considering changing my repertoire against d4 even though I'm objectively terrible and probably shouldn't even have a repertoire. Checked openingtree stats for chess.com games since 1 October.
White 1. e4 68 / 0 / 35
Black 1. e4 33 / 1 / 32
Black 1.d4 7 / 1 / 18
Ouch, d4.

chess.com review says I should have given up the rook for nothing instead of defending it. I guess it would just reduce the complexity and let stockfish see mate rather than just being +6 with an obvious-to-a-human rook and king versus king ending. #chesspunks

Played my first daily game on chess.com. As a perfectionist, the great thing about daily chess is you can think about a move as long as you want. Also, as a perfectionist, the terrible thing about daily chess is you can think as long as you want. #chesspunks

One away from my all-time puzzle rush score on chess.com with 22 seconds left and no strikes. Panicked and passed on two that I didn't get right away hoping for an easy one, but no joy. Then, it didn't even record. Some message like "server taking longer than normal to respond." #chesspunks
