@DeveshsK_ Huh. So people usually play awake?

@Persian_chess What if Sindarov is also playing below his true level 😅

Threatening mate in 5, and facing mate in 1 himself, my opponent took the Rook on h1. He had half his time left on the clock. Use your time! #Chesspunks #Chess

@jameskrinkleton Be3 doesn’t solve the problem of our trapped Queen. I played Nf4, and after Rxf7 Ng6+ hxg6 Rh3+ Bh4 Rxh4#. After Nf4, Black should play Nxf4 and then we have Qxe7, equal position

My opponent thought he trapped my Queen here. White to move! #Chesspunks #Chess

Fun calculation exercise from one of my games #Chesspunks #Chess

@mencikdavid Perfect thumbnail for playing against the QGD

[Edgar Kab @EdgarKab]

I thought trading down to a piece up endgame was winning, but it was a blunder. From a practical perspective, Black has too many drawing chances - he just has to trade the 2 Queenside pawns. #Chesspunks #Chess

@mencikdavid Nicely done! Care to share any of the games?

[Edgar Kab @EdgarKab]

Down 2 pawns no problem. Bishops of opposite colors! #Chesspunks #Chess

Thank you @mencikdavid for sending this gift across an ocean #Chesspunks

@chess24com You can clearly see black is better because the pieces are closer to Magnus Carlsen

@chessdom What would the penalty have been if he had, say, 20 seconds left on his clock?

[Edgar Kab @EdgarKab]

g1=N#! Note that promoting to a Queen would have resulted in a catastrophic stalemate. #Chesspunks #Chess

[Edgar Kab @EdgarKab]

As a rule, every opening named “normal variation” is the weirdest line you’ve ever seen #Chesspunks

@GMIgorSmirnov 3+0 players in 5+0

[Edgar Kab @EdgarKab]

@mustreader It makes sense that they would be playing freestyle chess

[Edgar Kab @EdgarKab]

@agadmator @durarbayli Thumb wrestling with a classical time control would be crazy

[Edgar Kab @EdgarKab]

Can you see why taking the free Bishop on d4 is wrong? #Chess #Chesspunks

[Edgar Kab @EdgarKab]

With his last move Black threatened Qb2#. But this move loses the Queen after e5 with a discovered check! The pawn on h5 takes away the possibility of Qg6. #Chesspunks #Chess
