Getting back into chess after a break of about 20 years has been one of the few positives from the current situation for me

I asked Hikaru a couple weeks back if he was worried about the edge his tournament opponents can gain by analyzing all his streamed chess content. He said that he maintains a completely separate set of openings for stream so that OTB opponents can't do that. Wild and impressive.

I'm team hikaru, if we're picking sides in the ongoing chess eltism 'drama'. finegold is an annoying bast imo
I like john bartholomew's beginners videos

storm in a teacup. just finegold grousing about hikaru's pogchamps tourney and how it's sad scrub streamers are getting more views for their chess than GMs
― ||||||||, Wednesday, 10 June 2020 17:39 (three years ago) link
Man why would you not rather watch scrubs, more educational for most surely.

Hmu
think i leveled up (KNOCK ON WOOD) my rating is up 50+pts for the last week, feels a lil more stable/prolonged than just being on a heater, i somehow just started playing/seeing more dynamic positions, which is interesting cause it seems to come with more variance in winning/losing games with wider margins, also seems like players at my level arent necessarily comfortable playing those types of positions, im seeing people time out and make blunders

I’ve been off chess since the vid started but I’ve been off twitter for 36 whole hours so maybe I can get back to it

Its all kicking off in the chess world!! Petrosian was accused of cheating in the final of the Pro Chess League. Here was Petrosian's response to those allegations.

Wesley So accused him because in the video you can see him looking down during critical positions.

How's your chess going lagoon? I mostly do puzzles/tactics at the moment - barely playing any blitz.
