We don't need one new game every day, or a new tournament format. We just need a working, stable platform. Once again, official games of our #Carcassonne Champions League are interrupted. This is not sustainable. Players, streamers, viewers are pissed. @BoardGameArena

Magnus and Nepo sharing the blitz title proves it once again: at the highest level, chess really is a draw after all. 🤝♟️ #ChessBlitz #Carlsen #Nepomniachtchi

Obligaties zouden het goed moeten doen bij een dalende rente. De FED verlaagt de rente eindelijk, en "iShares USD Treasury Bond 20 yr UCITS ETF" zakt fors. What am I missing? @TSimonts @FinanceFilosoof

"It's raining cats and dogs" = It is raining unusually or unbelievably hard. "They're eating cats and dogs" = I'm lying unusually or unbelievably hard. #Trump #Harris #Debate2024 #Springfield

Ik heb heel lang geen aandelen meer gekocht om op een beursdag als vandaag toe te slaan. En uitgerekend dan werkt @Bolero (en naar verluidt ook @Degiro) niet... @Saxobank doet het overigens wel (en hun website werkt ook gewoon tussen 0u en 1u).

I am completely disgusted by all the refereeing errors in #BELSVK. It is a shame. This man should never be allowed to referee at the highest level again.

I'm studying Dazzling Defenses against Checkmate Patterns by @CraftyRaf on @chessable , and I'm surprised by how unnatural the defensive thinking is to me! Need to train this more, what books do you recommend? #chesspunks

📚 RETO 365 LIBROS de AJEDREZ #2 "The Checkmate Patterns Manual" de Raf Mesotten. Suelo insistir en que para tener una buena visión táctica en ajedrez no solo hay que entrenar. Es fundamental conocer los principales recursos tácticos (clavada, desviación, descubierta, etc... ) y las secuencias de jaque mate clásicas (Mate de Boden, Mate de la Coz, Mate de Anastasia, etc... ). Este libro trata de esto último: de las secuencias de jaque mate clásicas. Esas que debes conocer si quieres que luego vengan a tu mente durante una partida. Obra teórica con su apartado práctico de ejercicios. Muy buena edición de @chessable #365librosdeajedrez

Offered a draw while being a pawn up in the middlegame against a higher rated opponent ( 150 ELO), despite Stockfish's analysis indicating a near victory ( 3.5). Exhausted from a stressful week, felt on the brink of making a mistake. I'm proud of myself!
