@chessmensch @chessfeels That’s me, there to capture your worst moments.

Meanwhile, if you enjoy fantasy books, stories of magical rebellions where a single blunder could cost a life and a game of chess could turn into a gladiator battle at the rise of a hand, or know a literary agent interested in Queen's Gambit meets Mistborn, feel free to share!

My goal last year was to write my first novel. I wrote 100,000 words by April, completed a 3rd draft by August, and received over 50 rejections from literary agents by December.

My goal this year is to write my second novel.

I'm at my peak rating in rapid, blitz, and bullet, on chesscom, which unfortunately means I can no longer play chess.

The Mavericks are firing Harrison nine months after the jarring and stunning Luka Doncic trade – a move for which Dumont took accountability and accepted as a mistake in a court-side interaction with a fan on Monday night.

and he was always beyond kind to me. He truly was the best kind of person: just as kind on camera as off. I was lucky to learn the game of chess from Daniel Naroditsky, but even more fortunate to have gotten to know Danya. Rest in peace.

[Daniel Schipper @Daniel_Schipper]

Today, many of us around the world have lost our first chess coach. I stumbled into the game of chess like many others, through a video of Daniel Naroditsky commentating a chess game. Danya talked about chess in a way that made me think even I could play.

[Daniel Schipper @Daniel_Schipper]

So I watched his videos and learned. He had an ability that not every great chess player has, the ability to teach to a beginner just as well as a master.

A year later, I moved to Charlotte and he became a coworker. I took hundreds and hundreds of photos of Danya playing chess,

Lichess now says, “Play against AI,” where it used to say, “Play against computer.” It uses the same Stockfish engine, so is there a reason for this, or just so human artists can get revenge on AI by checkmating it repeatedly on level one difficulty?

@SimplyDevina @chesscom 🤯 it takes me three seconds to figure out if I’m white or black for each puzzle… 🥳nice job!!!

[Daniel Schipper @Daniel_Schipper]

You matter!

For mental health month, I wanted to combine a few of my favorite things: chess ♟️ (debatable), mental health🎗 and stickers 🫧 ! For those gentle reminders to put on your laptops, water bottles and more that at the end of the day, chess is just a game 🙂 hope you like it!

We are very pleased to announce this partnership between the CCC and @chesscom. Bridging the OTB and online spheres is key to moving chess forward. This is one step in the right direction.

You ever had someone in a drive through say your name wrong but it’s an objectively cooler name? Anyways I’m going by “Vandal” now.

[Daniel Schipper @Daniel_Schipper]

@boldmovebydan I’ve taken a decent percentage of these photos. Should be all but 🤷‍♀️

[Devina @SimplyDevina]

Surprise! After over 5 years, I unretired for a blitz tournament. Ended with 6/9 and had the honor of getting crushed by Danya and Bortnyk OTB!

@Daniel_Schipper This is such a good Tweet that I put it in an article: https://t.co/zdRB6bJQgQ. Then later I had to delete it from another article I was working on because I need to find some new content.
