Here's a fun game I had with my friend at 2am to practice for today's tournament lol. I liked the way I played this endgame, but I did miss that Nxb4 sac idea in the endgame surprisingly

This is a cool puzzle I just got in one of my games. It looks like a completely normal position, but there is more than meets the eye! White to play and win!
What black can do here shocked me, and I actually thought I was losing for a second until I figured it out lol

Been a while since I posted a chess game of mine. Fun King's Gambit miniature I got where my opponent didn't know what to do after h4. There were many ways to win in this game, but I tried getting a cool mate by dragging the king to the center of the board lol

Playing insane positional kingside attacking chess out of my mind right now! I just won this game and can you believe it??? This was a Benoni lol. So far I haven't lost a rated rapid game in the past 8 games(1 draw) and I'm 1945 rn and trying to go onwards to 2000!!!

Had a fun Botvinnik Carls against a 2000 rated opponent. So far only one person is able to respond properly to this attack(for now), that being someone from my chess club I've played this against many times lol. They resigned before I got to play f5, but it is possible as shown in the 3rd image!!!

In addition to my last 2 posts, apparently for a late Christmas gift, I got this, which I have wanted for some time now. Now I can take even more professional photos just as a hobby! Can't wait to take more photos of my chess club :)

I've met my match. This is like 1/6th of the burger left. It's like the equivalent of like 3-4 double cheeseburgers, and I know for a fact I can eat 3 of those when I'm hungry too. I may be skinny, but I've got an appetite lol. Yippee metabolism

Really been turning up the heat on my specialty king side attacks recently. This was against my 2100 friend from my club earlier. I enjoy playing lots of chess with him. Sadly it'll be less when he goes off to college again soon. Glad I could get some cool games in with him before then #Chess

Sacced my queen in this game and had fun attacking with my faster development! Stockfish says I'm losing after the sac, but for the next many moves, black has to find only moves to win. In any position I'm worse, the 2nd best moves for black lead to me winning still

My dgt clock came in for my dgt board! I however did not consider that it wouldn't come with a cable to hook it up to the board. Now I have to buy a separate cable for it and wait for that to be delivered :/
