Post mainly about chess, sometimes serious, often slightly silly. Around 2100 FIDE.

Yes, I made a joke on Bluesky once. I’d like to make it very clear that this was neither on a train nor in 1929.

Mostly playing quite badly at blitz - but pleased to find Qc6 here - simply no way for White to avoid the loss of material!

Terrible AI-sourced owl jokes. Seriously, you don’t want to know how bad they are.
Fortunately AI has me covered with some excellent owl-based comedy*

05.02.2026 21:41 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I went for it as White - it’s not quite sound but it’s not that easy for Black to defend with Rh3-g3. Won in about 10 moves!

04.02.2026 08:27 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Live rating is 2124 ECF - in theory it’s comparable to FIDE, in practice maybe I’m still a few points off😀
03.02.2026 17:54 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Thanks! Wasn’t too sure about Bd3 but the rest was reasonably good - my evaluation of the sacrifice was about right - not quite sound but practically not easy to defend against!
03.02.2026 17:46 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yes I think you’re right. g4 is maybe another option for white especially if the knight is on f5. But it does seem Bxh5 isn’t quite sound with best play.

My thoughts immediately post-game (not properly computer checked) lichess.org/study/jmEEb1...
03.02.2026 17:34 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yes Black has to find 2…f5 which I don’t think is the easiest - even then it’s not trivial to find a way to defend with Rh3 and Rg3 coming.
