Fifteen years here on Twitter today. It has been enough. Goodbye and hope to see all the #chesspunks and other nice people on Bluesky soon. #MyXAnniversary

@FMChessMVP Strong field. I am routing for Fede and Fausti second.

@MeerMaurits So far, the statistics show one birthday every year. Good chance next year as well. :)

[John Cornelisse @johncornelisse]

@AlvarAlonso Exhibit D. A nice exchange sac after the opening and White is winning, just calculate the forcing moves. Instead, I loved my bishops too much, played Bg2, which is still better, but in the end I had to settle for a draw.

Should still write a recap about the European Club Cup. Short summary: It was fun. Result not so good. Only 1 out of 5. Any tips how to blunder less? #chesspunks

[John Cornelisse @johncornelisse]

@AlvarAlonso Exhibit C. A few strange moves later (why e3 and make the knight look bad?) all of a sudden Black has a threat. d5 is still okay, but panic kicks in and I played Bg4? A few moves later 0-1.

@MeerMaurits @ehscho If there is cake, we should not forget to invite @gmmds

[John Cornelisse @johncornelisse]

@ehscho @MeerMaurits Aha. All we need to do now is organize a simul on your birthday and find a nice opponent.

[John Cornelisse @johncornelisse]

@ehscho @MeerMaurits As participant or will you be giving the simul?

@APloeg @natesolon Soms ben je gewoon geniaal. Maar dan had je wel moeten zien dat na Te4 Pc5 de toren weer aangevallen wordt, maar dat je na Txd4 Lf6 genoeg compensatie overhoudt voor de kwaliteit.

[John Cornelisse @johncornelisse]

Had this position in yesterday's game at the European Club Cup and played a novelty here. Can anyone (except @natesolon) guess my move with White? #chesspunks

[John Cornelisse @johncornelisse]

@APloeg @natesolon Ja, maar dat kan naar meerdere velden. Je mag er maar één kiezen.

[John Cornelisse @johncornelisse]

@HighgroundChess @FabianoCaruana @GMJuditPolgar @Kasparov63 @vishy64theking That's a great list. Would love to include Ivanchuk as well.

[John Cornelisse @johncornelisse]

Did 't know that was a legal move
