Today chess loses a legend.

Boris Spassky passes at the age of 88.

Rapid Chess Improvement - Circle 3 completed. 6006 tactics #chess complete!

Are you hitting your process and production goals so far? #chesspunks

Ummmm what about Be4 to force a white weakness in the kingside? Or potentially Nxe4, dxe4? Even with what you have explained hardly a mistake. Game is far from over.

I don’t find this unpleasant from blacks point of view either. If anything blacks side seems easier to play to me. White bishop?!?

Indeed. Tactics however I do not use the chessable spaced repetition. I use Rapid Chess Improvement and my own schedule. Hehe

In an incognito browser search Dr Skull. What do you see? Problem for you is there’s 2 other Dr Skulls out there. I see none of your stuff.

Now for reference search Highground Chess. What do you see?

My 2024 @lichess #chess Recap

What does yours look like? #chesspunks
December 16, 2024 at 7:40 PM
Here is the reason why. Too many options. Number of moves on move 1, 2, so on and so forth. It’s brutal.

Let’s go! First long run keeping my Heart Rate under 135 bpm with no needing to walk to keep it lower.

Major progress. Feel like I can run another 5 miles.

So I asked ChatGPT to analyze my #chess games and make comparison to top players. #chesspunks

Found this quite interesting. Haven’t looked much at Petrosian, Andersson, Kramnik or Karpov games.

Karpov was listed too in some of the information above but not in the conclusion.
