My dear colleague Sophia wrote an inspiring piece about IM Andras Toth for the @chessable.com blog.
A must-read for #chesspunks and everyone who needs a reminder that finding your calling sometimes takes unexpected turns.

It's not uncommon for big cities to have a park with chess tables, where hustlers and experts gather to play with chess enthusiasts and by-passers.
In my hometown of Lima, Peru, we had two such places and growing up, I would go there to practice with stronger players.

I have analyzed many of Vera Menchik’s games for Queens of the Chess Board, my first @chessable.com course, and can tell you she was a fine positional player whose games can teach us quite a lot about piece placement!
Can you recognize Vera and Alekhine in this pic?

On a day like today the great Vera Menchik was born!
Not only was Vera the first women’s World Champion. She was also the longest-reigning one — 17 years!
More importantly, she paved the way for more #womeninchess.

This @chess.com puzzle reminds me of the meme that goes like, "When they tell you not to enter dark alleys because it's dangerous.
But they forget you're the danger."

But they forget you're the danger."

My friend and I have written a children’s book based on how I started playing chess ❤️ ♟️
The protagonist is a little lion, a nod to my grandpa, who used to tell me stories of the brave Lucianita Lioness when I was a little child.
