@atwell_rose Tough loss but you can still finish in Top 25 if you win both remaining games (currently in 46th place out of 112). Were you in time scramble when you played Qxa5 missing threat of Qf8 and Qf3 check forcing mate?

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Nice! Another brilliant Rook sacrifice (Rd6!) (had he found best defense). That would have been your 3rd brilliant Rook sacrifice in recent tourneys. Beware Rose bearing Greek Rooks!😀😀😋

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Phew! What a perilous position with your king in dire straits too! Relieved you found not only “good moves” but best moves to win. Nice 2-game win sreak — now finish strong!💪💪💪

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Nice going! Keep on making good moves! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Keep making good moves. You can still bounce back to finish strong. Good luck with rest of tournament 🍀🍀🍀!!

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Shake it off… your NM opponent found nice move. You can still finish well if you continue to make good moves. Don’t play tilt under pressure. Opponent is underrated. Show your resilience — finish strong!

@atwell_rose @chess_vegas @itsandreabotez Omitted to mention that was 4 years ago in 2022. Westgate Casino & Hotel is very nice but sorry you are too young to be on the casino floor. Still, you can win up to $10,000 in open section! 🍀🍀🍀

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose @chess_vegas Good luck in winning $10,000 for top prize or $2500 for top 2400 ELO! Exciting final round at LV’s Westgate watching @itsandreabotez win over much higher opponent!

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Congrats! What an honor! Best wishes in Uzbekistan. Keep making good moves. TIPS: Avoid tap water & ice. Don’t brush teeth with tap water—drink only bottled water. Avoid salads, unpeeled fruits washed with tap. Eat cooked food. Go sightseeing—historic & beautiful city.👏🏻

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@MariaHo Yes — here’s to more mems! My favorite is you flushing to win $450K against Jungleman in Game of Gold! 👏🏻
Worst mem? You & friend Tiffany unable to strike launch pad or strike golf ball far enough in physically demanding “Amazing Race 15.” Penalized to lose chance at $1M.😢

@OnTheQueenside @atwell_rose It’s official!!! It’s now International Master Rose Atwell! Congratulations! Lot of hard work!
Best wishes for continued success!

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose @JenShahade Both great reads! In both, women chess players had to overcome sexism, misogyny, and discrimination. Best wishes in expanding membership in your male GM club!

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@JenShahade @atwell_rose You might also enjoy Jennifer’s “Chess Queens” feminist history from 1st World Champion Vera Menchik (1927-1944) to Soviet era as well as top US women players. Great also is Susan Polgar’s “Rebel Queen” where sisters were all home-schooled to be champions in experiment.

@DodgersNation Actually, didn’t Mookie get upgraded — not down dropped? Clean-up to is usually assigned to best power RBI batter. Or has Sabermetrics and analytics downgraded 4th spot?

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

Congratulations to Andre! Also congratulations to Rose for finishing sole 2nd undefeated through tough gauntlet of 4 GMs and 2 IMs! Also she gained 26 points to top 2400 level for possible IM title.

Wow! She is now ranked 7th — only 6 points from surpassing IM Alice Lee. Wishing both continued success — future of US Women”s chess while teens!👏👏👏

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Very nice! Bobby Fischer won only $1,000 when he captured his first US Championship.👏👏👏

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Congratulations! Sole runner up while undefeated in State Championships! You must now have officially crossed 2400 rating level for your IM title. But don’t stop making good moves to climb up to 2500 level. Now treat yourself — go to Disneyland or beach.👏👏👏

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Congratulations for finishing undefeated — especially since you had to play 4 higher rated GMs!

[Joe Yee @LAJYEE]

@atwell_rose Brilliant win — You forced resignation with 5 straight brilliant moves! Fantastic!
