It had been a while since I got to do the ol' Lasker Trap. Always fun. And yes, game review, underpromoting to a knight IS very cool. Thanks for noticing! #chesspunks

CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot.
Unions know better.
Happy Labor Day Weekend.

I found Nxe5 here, and the game review labeled it as brilliant, but I noticed the eval went down. The subtle Qe4 is a fair amount better, as you still keep the N and come out in a better position...but chessDOTcom labels that move as merely great. No bueno.

I think this is the first time I've ever had an 8 pawn advantage in a game.

I see this stuff all the time: Young guys insisting Democrats - who just last year had a football coach running for vice president - are telling men not to watch sports.
Just completely made up.

Forty years ago today: Tears for Fears hits #1 with “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”.
“I didn't really think anything of it, to be honest with you,” Roland Orzabal said of the arpeggiated guitar riff that opens the song. “But my wife at the time liked it. So I thought, Okay, maybe I'm wrong.”

1-2 million people could've seen yesterday's Bennett/SE Aurora tornadoes. Incredible.
I got photos/videos from Lakewood (below) and Castle Pines of the tornado yesterday - both 30-40+ miles away. Incredible.

The Pogchamps cheating footage from @drlupo.bsky.social is probably the most cringe thing I've seen this year, and it's been one of the cringiest years in memory, so far. #chess #chesspunks
