Taking a break. I just can't support this important platform with the current ownership's blatant disregard for truth

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@gavinpurcell These are unstoppable. You've gotta host these somewhere besides twitter

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@Nickvisel Take a Socratic approach. "If it isn't equal to 1, then how far away from 1 is it?" That usually convinces my naysayers

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@WanderingPoint Oh good idea! I was just gonna bounce, but taking my stuff with me is a dope idea!

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@space_Amy Feeling especially called out! Put together a clever tactic against a colleague today, but didn't see it could be spoiled by a M1 after my first move 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@ChessVonDoom @space_Amy I mean, I had fun. I'll drink to your hair tonight, though! 🍻

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@space_Amy @ChessVonDoom 😳 oh, oh that makes way more sense. Occam and I aren't speaking so much these days 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@ChessVonDoom @space_Amy Wait, does Doom have some kind of necromancy skills that makes taking souls easier if there is a physical artifact? I am NEVER playing OTB with you!

@chessfeels @juIiarios Just watched a video on this by Simon Williams!

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@natesolon How is it only $10?!? Just got my copy and it is worth way more than 8¢ per page! It also may be the only chess book in which Madonna is quoted ...

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@natesolon Brutal!

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@WanderingPoint I swear this is the first half of The Cat Came Back

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@Mcdevio @William_Walshe That move forces a trade of rooks after 2.gxf4 Qxa5 3.Rxd8 Qxd8, and now all the tension has gone out in White's favor because Black's bishop is trash

[Xander @xanderfaber]

Super proud of this tactic I found in an OTB game at the club tonight. Tactics flashcards are paying off! #chesspunks

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@William_Walshe Good start!

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@William_Walshe Not a valid move

[Xander @xanderfaber]

Crap! Forgot to mention: White to move.

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@hollykrieger Tweed storm! 🧥

[Xander @xanderfaber]

@natesolon What class of players are you writing for?
