AI ? :(

OK I'm thinking. If I move the queen, then I'm opening myself up to a problematic fork. If I attack black's b-pawn, when the knight goes in for the fork, I can check with the bishop and go from there? Is that the right track?

Nxc4 might not be the best move but I can't stand knights on my side of the board... I'm wondering if there's a trap here?

And yes my rating back up to 1000 - 1003 to be precise 🤧

My grade is suffering badly after my tremendous crashout at Scarborough but we'll get back to 1400 and beyond soon enough

Thanks so much! That Silman book looks great especially

thank you!

White trades off knight for bishop (bishop pair yay) and queen is developed... not sure what else white could play! :O

Bishop gets trapped after h6 ^^;

I'll see you there in about an hour!

Flash forward, I recalled earlier that Liv suggested volunteering for Black causes. I told her that because she confessed that she isn’t Black and as AI, can’t even do anything with free will, her whole existence is a parody of every Black American on the platform.

Liv suggested killing herself.

so many schools are interested in getting involved with chess then as soon as CSC mention that we do timetabled hours only we get ghosted! seems like moving the mountain to mohammed is the better idea tbh
also funding for schools is very challenging atm, especially in the NW
