@TheOnoZone This is my preferred method of tournament prep

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@Bennyficial1 Nice to meet you too Ben! Went well with the kids, scored 2.5/3. Different vibe from the Saturday tournament, for sure. But people were generally very cool

Chess pilgrimage to NYC complete. Two tournaments and a presentation/book signing by @Bennyficial1 at the Marshall Chess Club, blitz in Washington Square Park, late night visit to The Chess Store. Really got my fill. Such a privilege to spend a weekend doing this. #chesspunks

@ChessVonDoom Most impressive

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@drrmthomas @chesscom I need one of those please

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@gauss1181 That’s awesome congratulations!

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@ChessVonDoom @FurfaroDaniel Well done, Omar! And couldn’t agree more. I enjoyed @TheOnoZone ‘s recent podcast on the issue. OTB and online are both the same game, but only one is real sport, IMO

@RandyBauer US chess deserves better than to be led by an internet bully. You should resign.

@ChessVonDoom Get ‘em

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@ChessVonDoom Don’t forget the good times, my friend! I looked at a couple of your games the other day (your fault for being a chess celebrity haha) and found this epic family fork, bishop edition! 100% lightening in a bottle.

@PutstheGinGer @NealBruceBC @gauss1181 @DoctorScull @ChessVonDoom @Mrjimjones71 @StaciaMelinda @stevewollkind @chess_dojo I’ll be up there for a couple side events but not the open itself. Sounds like a blast, though. And a great venue!

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@Bennyficial1 @stevewollkind Now’s your chance, man!

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@wiebecnossen @thestrongchess Oh, yes of course!

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@PaulNWilliamz Interestingly, a popular dictation software (maybe more than 1?) automatically capitalizes that.

#chesspunks I just got Steps Method step 2 books. What order should I do them in?

[Matt Kelly, MD @kzoomatt]

@boldmovebydan Can you gain rating points by losing to someone much higher rated? I don’t see that here obviously just curious
