Reflections this evening, having struggled with motivation over the last few weeks : Progress is never linear. Sometimes something that seemed simple before is 20% harder for no reason at all. Just gotta keep pushing through it!

Such a cool story! It's never too late to start or improve at chess ✨♥️

POV: my confusion when playing chess

Forecast for my chess games this week 🤪☔️

This is absolutely WILD 😱🤩 reddit.com/r/chess/s/zwJa…

Me re-entering the blitz chess pool after a break 🤪

Today is mental health day, so I treated myself by not playing 3 0 blitz chess 🥰

What an absolutely wild story... 👀 chess.com/news/view/kiri…

I have a huge amount of respect for what the Dojo folk are doing to demystify what a great chess training plan looks like, especially for already busy people 👏 will 100% be listening in to this one!

Anyone else inspired to make an account at the other place? 👀 I need some chess people to follow!

This morning I had an MRI of my head, and despite my recent chess performance it is confirmed I do indeed have a brain 🥹

It's been a long time since I've looked at the Woodpecker Method. Have come back to it recently and really enjoying going through the tactics again. What chess book are you reading right now? #chesspunks

Them: you don't stay up past your bedtime just to play bullet chess do you? Me :

Is there a better feeling than going for a check in time trouble and realising it's checkmate 😂? #chess #chesspunks

I'm on 🦋 and enjoying the vibe over there. If you're there too let me know I need more chess folk to follow! ✨🙏

One of the great features of Bluesky 🦋 is you can subscribe to lists that mute or block people en masse depending on their profile or content. This is huge and means your discovery feed is clean of ragebait and bullshit. Come join us and find me there ♥️

Now is the perfect time to get into chess. 1. It's a great distraction 2. It can be *extremely* meditative & still feels productive 3. You don't have to invest hours at a time, a puzzle or two can fill a few mins 4. There's a lovely #chesspunks community 🦋✨

It's possible I had a concussion a couple months back. I'm feeling a lot better generally. But some days I look at a chess board or position and just.... can't make sense of it at all. Completely miss the most obvious things. Sigh.

Karma : when someone gifts me +15 seconds in a time scramble because they're completely winning, about to queen a pawn and are smug about it Then they stalemate me 😂

This tweet is for everyone who said they were going to do some chess study this weekend but was actually just too exhausted from the week. Take that Sunday nap ♥️ it's ok! #chesspunks
