Told a colleague I once played Rachel Reeves at chess - he thought I said Rachel Riley. That’s all i have to say on the matter.

@aleksastunikas @chessfeelspod @chessfeels @juliacheerios Does this work? https://t.co/w3hjATPDeb

Listening to the latest @chessfeelspod (yay!) and reflecting that my rating would be much lower if 18-1900s didn’t take weirdly long in non-forcing positions…

@natesolon Absolutely correct! I’m a bit above 2100 ECF (say 2000-2050 FIDE) and had my first OTB draw of 2025 last week - 8 wins, 4 losses against opponents rated 2160 average (range 1950 to IM).

@chessfan_9 @Kaldas90 Simple!

@simplydt @chessable I think you’ve spelled John’s name wrong on the home page?

Seems like Sevian and Lodici came dressed as each other for today’s game #2025FIDEWorldCup

@BishopPair @warrantinthat But why?

[Why must I lose to this idiot? @wmiltti]

@GatoFranco90 @warrantinthat @BishopPair Ok so I’ve got a way to go!

[Why must I lose to this idiot? @wmiltti]

@warrantinthat @BishopPair Thanks! My published rating is 2118 but I won yesterday to go to 2130 which is about 190 in old money - I’m sure there are a few above me without FIDE ratings but I suspect not many!

@ChessProblem I don’t have an Elo but I can beat most people who do.

Random bit of chess trivia - my opponent last night played the game that Kasparov rated the most exciting he ever saw!

[Why must I lose to this idiot? @wmiltti]

From last night’s game - I played 18.Nxh5 which is OK but not best. I rejected 18.Qxh5 because of 18…Bg7 with pressure for Black on the h-file, but I should have looked deeper - what would have happened next?

Just got to 3/3 OTB this season after a win against a 2200 ECF opponent - not sure what’s going on but quite happy for it to continue for a while!

[Why must I lose to this idiot? @wmiltti]

@chesscom I sometimes play IMs, and I don’t always lose.

Fun bit of lunchtime blitz!#BeatTheSicilian

Another OTB win with Black last night, opponent around 2000 ECF. What did I play here?
