@NatCounterPunch "Over the past 20 years I’ve learned there’s a quick way of figuring just how badly Israel is behaving. There’s a brisk uptick in the number of articles here accusing 'the left' of anti-Semitism." - Alexander Cockburn in 2002.

@StephenMerchant @AmazonMGMStudio Cameron Diaz falling in love with you? I thought you didn't like the fantasy genre.

@SamShankland Susan Polgar was not the first woman to get the grandmaster title. Nona Gaprindashvili and Maia Chiburdanidze both got it before her.

@kevin_nealon @normmacdonald You did a hike with Norm and never released it? 😡

@DoctorScull I don't know if it actually works but one idea is to play training games with the board flipped. So you get used to looking for the best move from the other side.

@the_transit_guy Why is no one wearing a helmet?

@ZibbitVideos @ChessGainz @PiotrNguyen What happens after Nxc7 Kf7? The bishop looks like it might be trapped.

@natesolon Assuming my playing strength remains the same, how much rating fluctuation can be expected due simply to variance? E.g. if I'm 2000, I can expect to vary plus or minus how much Elo over say 100 games.

@fins0905 The quality of life is good only for some. Don't forget the US has extreme inequality.

@RaniaKhalek My favorite is her repeatedly maniacally screaming to Colbert "IT WAS A DEBATE!"

@DrJillStein @TeamJillStein What's your position on trans women in female sports?

@blackatlantic @GMJacobAagaard @QualityChess @NewInChess @EverymanChess Aagaard was so determined to get @gmmds to write for him that he literally just bought New in Chess. 😂

@LexiAlex The poll didn't ask them whether they believed Biden was facilitating the genocide. Some of them believe the fake narrative that Biden is powerless to stop Israel.

@chessfeels He's awful. Are you not aware of his wild accusations of widespread cheating in titled tuesday, to mend his bruised ego every time he loses to a lower rated player?

👀Will @fins0905's upcoming Qa5 Scandi course refute @amanhambleton's claim that "when black plays Qa5 in the Scandinavian you're *always* justified to play b4"? #chesspunks

[Vox populi @fasioc]

@Kabadayichess You really need to say "Black to move." I wasted a lot of time trying to solve the position assuming white to play Nxd4 because you said black's "bishop on d4 would be captured on the next move."

@boldmovebydan @natesolon I think playing 2 or 3 rounds per day is common all over the US.
