My OTB classical record for the year so far: 6W, 3D, 1L. Rating average of my opponents: 1639 ECF. It has been a really good year for my classical OTB chess, but I need to play more games! Let's see if I can maintain this level.

The loss of GM Daniel Naroditsky is an enormous tragedy. His style of teaching was incredibly unique, generous, and full of infectious enthusiasm. Utterly admirable. He had so much left to give and achieve. This hits so hard.

Crazy endgame I had in a blitz game just now. White to play. Is it a win, loss or draw? #chesspunks (There are a lot of lines to check if you want an accurate eval here)

2025 has been my best chess year ever, particularly in terms of OTB results. Thanks to all the #chesspunks who have helped and encouraged me along the way!
