It’s good to see the classic home whites again. This is what Yanks-Sox should look like.

Yeah it seems like the big innovation with that is to actually cite its sources

I give it the first draft of a blog post and ask for suggestions to improve it. Some of its suggestions are bad but some are good.

Is the idea to attack f7?

Qxc5+ dxc5 Rxb8#. My first instinct was Qc6+ and I was close!

I would love to be displaced as a driver! I hate being required to stay alert with my eyes on the road at all times in order to get somewhere safely. Why do you think Waymo will never displace me?

In case you don’t know, this is an insanely good book for chess beginners. My daughter learned chess notation in five minutes (she’s very smart; ymmv) and was off to the races solving simple puzzles. #chesspunks

This was a pretty crazy game. Caruana was up two exchanges at one point, gave them both back, then sacrificed a piece for this mating attack. lichess.org/GCOsX7QA

Huh, ICE would do that. I’d expect the military and national guard to be able to not do that, though.

Why don’t they just get hotel rooms? LA has a lot of hotels.

I want to play a6 and sac a pawn but I don’t know if that’s reckless. Anyway I bet @chesscom.bsky.social knows what to do

I’ve heard Ezra and Derek on podcasts talking quite skeptically about crypto so it seems like another “neoliberal” similarity

And does the book mention crypto at all?

g7-g5 is also a way to get a kingside attack started in this structure, if they give you an opportunity
