Kamryn! She loved the Queen's Gambit so much she decided to learn chess and very quickly reached 2000 Elo. She has some great videos on how to study chess and analyze games effectively. youtu.be/GMuo4VQXxeE?...

100%! When the cheating scandal happened I was waiting for the evidence to drop, but all we ever got was "Neiman cheated on chess.com a few years ago." It's like saying someone must have stolen the Mona Lisa because they would shoplift from the mall as a kid.

This is true, but did she say they were the same somewhere in the video?

Everyone's Cheating At Chess (Allegedly)
YouTube video by Sarah Z Everyone's Cheating At Chess (Allegedly)

NEW VIDEO up on YouTube!!

A deep dive into chess's paranoia epidemic: the scandal that broke the internet, former champions gone full conspiracy theorist, and why the entire structure of modern chess basically guarantees this will keep happening.

@chess.com I've gotten this same puzzle once per day for the last 5 days. I think it's a bug.

Sounds like the game reviewer is not useful, if its depth is so little it recommends bad moves.

Is this a common bug with the chess.com game reviewer? It tells me I should have sacced my queen on move 7, but in analysis mode it tells me that's a bad idea and that castling was the best move here. #chesspunks

Flashback to that time Nakamura read an article about how there's a misogynistic assumption in the chess community that the reason so few GMs are female is biological and the comments in chat were like "There's no misogyny in chess! Also women are inherently bad at chess."
