I average reading between 50-100 books per year but for 2019 my goal is to read over 100. So this tweet & subsequent thread will serve as a place for me to highlight whatever I complete PS- Spring/Fall is when I read the most (nice weather + balcony FTW) so weekly pace will vary

Okay someone found a commercial i did for McDonald's in 2015 and put it to a Claude cutscene and I am dying. Here's the video. I can't tell who originally made it but if they come forward I will absolutely credit.

For some amusement...

Ok chess Twitter. I’ve got an extra copy of FM Asa Hoffman’s new memoir to give away. Halfway through my copy and it’s got some fun stories. Will mail it anywhere in the world. Will randomly select winner tomorrow. Retweet to enter.

One of the most brutal, but beautiful puzzles I've seen in a long time. From Polgar's Chess Middlegames - the theme is "double attack". Apologies for the horrible phone camera, but this is how I get the puzzles on the go without lugging around the whole tome! #chesspunks

Black has already gone astray not challenging White's center earlier and now takes aim at the c4 pawn with 11...Na5. I was quite satisfied with my response, which was...? #chesspunks

From a random friendly game at a local coffeehouse/bar - randomly saw a guy studying and chessboard and we wound up playing. Overall not the most accurate game, but I was proud of my move here after ...Qxf8. I like to think studying Judit's books is paying off! #chesspunks

There's several moves that are good here, but what's the most aesthetically pleasing one? Bonus points for the (not forced) follow-up! #chesspunks

From a disaster of a blitz game, but I was pretty excited for this mating motif: #chesspunks

From an OTB training game today. Black's trying to hang on to a pawn (though his position is already pretty dicey). What would you play as White and why? #chesspunks

Many moves might be winning here, but what's your preferred continuation? Bonus points for aesthetic choices? #chesspunks

From a fun game tonight. Black just played ...Nxe4, taking a pawn and revealing several threats. White to play and find the best continuation. What is best play for both white and black and eval? #chesspunks

Went 3/4 in an OTB 90+30 tournament this weekend, and making progress towards 2000 (1989 now, higher than I've ever been :D). Still have a lot of work to do, but here's a cute position from the tournament. White just attacked my bishop with Rc7, Black to play!

Brushing up on the basics and getting ready for Vegas - so excited for National Open!! Been a while since I've played classical chess :) #chesspunks

Finished on 3.5/7 in the U2300. Overall was great playing up many rounds and getting more experience against strong players in G90. And was also awesome meeting so many people in person! Fun first National Open. ♟️

Please stop tweeting anything other than links to good world cup games for the next three hours please and thank you
