There's just something about chess that it's able to fill me with such immense, blinding rage that I don't experience anywhere else

This one is gorgeous from today's game between Aravindh - Aronian in today's Grand Chess Tour. Requires seeing a lot of Black's responses to know the answer but it's a goodie! #chesspunks

Had a blast studying e4 again in a serious way for the first time in over a year. Can you guess White's best move? It was on my radar for a millisecond, but I ended up going for the simple g3 instead #chesspunks

I missed e4 so much. I know I'm bad at it compared to 1.Nf3/1.d4 but it's a much more fun experience

So I think one thing that's important for players under ~1500 isnt just looking at positions where only one move wins, but coming up with a plan when many moves do. In this position from a game of mine, white has a winning advantage for multiple reasons. But what plan would you choose? #chesspunks

You aren't a real chess player unless you've gone back and forth deciding between different openings to the point of madness

wow, I started looking at Shanglei's games and absolutely love his style: www.chess.com/games/view/1...
Antonios Kalogridis - Lu Shanglei (2025) - Master Chess Game - Chess.com
Antonios Kalogridis (2381) vs Lu Shanglei (2618) (2025). Black won (0-1) in 35 moves. Click to review the game, move by move, with computer analysis.

genuine question: what do trompowsky players even do against 1...d6? I cant imagine them being the players that go into e4 but also what else lol #chesspunks

White is up a full tempo on a normal kings indian position, but the extra move is Bishop to f4, which turns out to not be so great. How can Black minimize the damage? #chesspunks

It’s not a campaign visit to Vancouver without a Hip Flip.

Thanks for the records and the trip down memory lane, @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social.

Would you rather:

A) have a repertoire that varies on the first move (e4 and d4, maybe Nf3) BUT it's narrow, or

B) only play one first move and have different branches afterwards (i.e. play only e4, but know both italian and ruy, and some scotch etc.)

White to move, what should you do? #chesspunks

Thinking of making a little chess curriculum through a series on youtube about practically everything I can think of that matters to hit 2000, any interest in that?
