Check out the life story of black's rook on h8. One of the funnier chess positions I've ever seen 😂 #chesspunks

There's something very satisfying about a graph this smooth. #chesspunks

OK I swear I'll stop posting e4 games once they stop being bloodbaths #chesspunks

Only today did I learn what it means to be alive.

Still working out the kinks in this 1. e4 repertoire but so far I like what I see from blitz #chesspunks

My conversion of this winning position in blitz was far from perfect (at one point my opponent had a winning counter-sac), but boy does e4 help you understand the value of piece activity better. Sometimes material is equal, and there are no immediate tactics, but activity is decisive #chesspunks

As a longtime d4 player, playing e4 is...a revelation #chesspunks

I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately but that’s more like it 9️⃣9️⃣⭐️ And yes, I did return to my dear 1.d3 😊 #chesspunks

What's your evaluation of the K+P ending after ...Rxf2+? I was white and misevaluated the resulting position. Highly instructive, at least for me. #chesspunks

Black has several moves that conserve the advantage, but can you find the strongest and most tactical? I was happy to find it in blitz today. #chesspunks

I played the opening and middle game so nicely! And then....

What was your coolest chess related gift today #chesspunks? I’ve been pumped about the ChessUp 2 for a while now
