Definitely not the #ChessPunk path!
Today I learned that "chess is often an emotionally intense game, as people's egos are targeted. For many people, the objective of the game is about crushing the egos of their opponents just as much as it is about checkmating their opponents' king".

If you're a #chesspunk or at least adjacent to #chess obsession (and/or just a little twisted and fascinated by humans and/vs/in/around technology), and you haven't seen Computer Chess, you're missing out. → en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute...

Whassup #chesspunk!
Been a long time since I last posted but here’s an interesting position from my classical game last night in a friendly match against Burnley chess club.
Black to play. In a tough position I had elected to give up material to try and expose the White king. What would you do here?

With the humongous Lichess online database ripe for data mining, is there really any advantage to keeping a large database on my computer? What do other #chesspunk folks use chess databases for? #chess

I’m a fellow #chesspunk that left Twitter a while ago. I mostly haven’t been posting chess content since I got here (since there was really no one else until recently) but I plan to start to!

White to play and win
Another Henri Rinck composition (1912). This is well known but if you haven't seen it before you are likely to enjoy it. The knights work magic together! A link to the solution is in the replies.

#chesspunk update: I beat him, but it wasn’t a good game on my part. I made two blunders that should have been game ending that he didn’t take advantage of, then he hung mate in one. Hoping for a better game soon!
Well #chesspunks it sounds like one of the new software engineers at my company might actually pose a challenge to me. Will report back when I get a chance to play him.

#chesspunk update, I basically haven't played chess in two months :(
Parenting started getting even harder around month 6 and it's just been so challenging to find time. And then once you haven't played in a while and you know you're rusty, it's hard to compel yourself to start a game.

Hit the halfway point of our league season, team sitting pretty with 3 wins, 1 draw and no losses.
Messed up my game tonight by randomly blundering a piece, but I could force a win of an exchange, then with two strong passed pawns offered a draw to seal the match 2.5-1.5
