guess who just signed up for a local chess tournament this summer 😬 what kind of prep do my fellow #chesspunks recommend (~3 months left)?

am elite circle 🙈

sundays♥️

more games from the „timman‘s titans“ book! botvinnik‘s understanding of piece activity is illustrated very nicely. also love the story how timman tried to emulate b.‘s health focused tournament prep regime himself 😬😹 #chesspunks

ahhh chess club evenings 🥰

A pretty famous and old (123 years!) hat, but so cool. The Austrian Georg Marco resigned with black here after 36. Rd1. Any other suggestions for black? #chesspunks

last one for this season - haydn’s symphony 52 in c minor and mahler‘s lied von der erde

what a cool sosonko episode with lots of details about the russian school of chess (blitz only on sundays🙈) newinchess.com/blog/post/nic-… NIC Podcast #67 - Vladimir Zak: A Great Teacher Inspires

got to love those mismatched coffee house chess sets and playing outside with a nice iced coffee during a warm summer day ♥️

hey #chesspunks, have you tried chat gpt or another conversational AI for your training? i am impressed - asked for games and annotations for particular interesting middle games for 1400 ELO and got perfect pgns with instructions for creating and studying with lichess studies.

i am in a new relationship with this steamy italian 😍

time to learn this one 😬- with a view and a fantastic lake down in the garden!

getting used to this vacation thing 😬

happy #InternationalChessDay #WorldChessDay! what better way to celebrate than dusting off that yusupov book and with some cake. check out this position!

and kind tipps for a day with a particularly difficult talk at work today?

taking tournament prep serious -how cool to see a game of sonja graf in the yusupov series. honestly though - 2 weeks till classical tournament, any prep advice? (doing a ton of longer tactics with emphasis on training calculation and trying to plug opening holes🫣) #chesspunks

taking this whole chess tournament prep thing very seriously….

time to scare some children 👹

i won the first game against a 14 year old in 3.5 hours and am a bag of mush now 😅

there is a tournament pic of me now 😬 woman and position after 3 hours 😅
