I've heard several chess coaches question if amateurs get sufficient value from studying annotated master games. All I can say is that playing through hundreds of annotated games has helped me get a feel for where my pieces should go. What more could you want? #chesspunks

I don't really share many of my games because I feel like they have to be perfect to be worth sharing. But the truth is that my games aren't that good, so I decided to start sharing some where I'm just having fun 😇 This is a blitz game with the Icelandic gambit #chesspunks

Out of the blue, my Dad, a social media/tech novice with absolutely no independent interest in chess, just asked me if I “happen to know someone called ChessVonDoom”!? 🤨 Apparently he stumbled across your tiktok @ChessVonDoom! #chesspunks

Todays training game was fun! 😍 I'm unhappy about 6. d5? 16. Ng6? And 18.Qd3? Oh well, I will keep working on tactics and skills 😁 I'm happy about my time management for once, and 0 blunders. The Vienna sure is a lot of fun on my level! 🥰 #chesspunks

On my 2d anniv of "real" chess (& 1st anniv of joining #chesspunks) I'd love to meet you all at ALTO - but I know you by name (in BJ's case, also by voice!) not by face. Please say hello to me when you can? I'm easy to spot: hat, big gray beard, & of course, gotta have the beads!

This week on Chess Journeys, I had a great chat with the one and only @saychess1 We talked about so many topics from his improvement to his chess empire. Does he do it all? Yes! How does he have time? No idea. spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e…
