A friend suggested a really cool chess site. 500 bots w various playing styles & ratings. Gain/lose elo. Bots are much more realistic than chesscom & actually resign! Great for practicing openings! Check it out & let me know what you think. @#chesspunks

A good K+P technique to convert mate without stalemating. It may not be the fastest mate, but it's an easy one to remember in time trouble.
Set up the position and practice against the computer until you get it memorized.
Leave a comment if you have a better method! #chesspunks

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Deven about his journey into chess as an adult. He quickly rose to 1200, but got stuck. He credits much of his rise from 1200 - 1600 to his coach, analyzing games, tactics, and working on endgames.

Recorded 25 episodes of the Road to 2200. I'd love to hear your feedback. Wondering if I should continue making the series. If you've seen 1 or more episodes please give me your thoughts on it. Does it need improvement? Is it just not good enough? Thanks in advance!

This week on Chess Journeys, I caught up with Ep. 1 guest @realjimjones.bsky.social. We had a fun chat about when to step away from chess improvement and how to return to it. #chesspunks

What's your ratio of study to playing #chesspunks? I buy courses and I guess try to learn by osmosis because I just play when I have time and not study. Trying to change that. 😂

I'm calling it now... Detroit Lions beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in this year's Super Bowl! It's the game I've been dreaming about since I was 7 years old... wearing my Pittsburgh jersey and Lions helmet while watching football!

Who do you have in this year's bog game?

Dan Heisman accepted to appear on my podcast! The only problem is there are gazillions of things we can discuss. Is the chess world ready for 5-hour-long episodes a la Lex Fridman?

Feel free to offer questions I should ask him! #chesspunks
