Probably should start with the Federal Way, WA office. Way behind in processing, makes you wonder if they are actually showing up to work.

Do you mean, Curacao 1962: The Battle of Minds that Shook the Chess World?

Thank you, I was not aware of this book!

What are your favorite chess books, about chess but not instructional. Think "Queens Gambit" or "The Immortal Game" but not a "how to" book. #chess

@chesscom.bsky.social Nice win today! Well played!

Ugh!!!

Next Level Training, GM Noël Studer’s Beginning Chess Program. Minimalistic but effective. This would be a smart use of resources.

What does “complete” look like?:)

JJ Lang aka Chessfeels.

Will do. I am used to complaining when a chess themed book has too little chess themed material.:)

Good to know. I have the book but have not started it yet.

These are all great books! Congratulations on your gifts!

Chessbase has support? :-(

Yes.

Question for you, why am I unable to update my ChessBase 18 games with games from 2024 in the 2024 Mega Database? Must be something simple I am missing? Thanks.

Productive annual International Chess Fellowship of Rotarians (ICFR) Board meeting yesterday. India, Canada, Philippines, and USA represented. If you are a Rotarian and play chess, message me. We would like to invite you to participate in the ICFR and its global chess activities. #chesspunks #chess

One of my favorite songs to sing to and fingerpick on the guitar… but you are correct, definitely not a Christmas song or was it ever intended to be.

GM Noel Studer’s Next Level Training designed for the under 2000 rated player wanting to improve with limited time and wanting to eliminate the “noise” of redundancy.

Sometimes sage advice stays with you for many decades. While attending a Board meeting many years ago, I remember a Catholic Nun commenting, "Words Matter, Be Careful with The Words That You Use". Some advice is timeless!

Oh, my! Ouch!

Sounds like a little cooling off period after the conclusion of the investigation is in order. Then make whatever decision you feel is necessary. Just suggesting.

Love it!

Tennis is in a sad position with the men's and women's #1's (or former #1) testing positive for doping. Both are receiving akin to a slap on the wrist, bringing up the question of fairness in applying the rules. Much is still unknown, but there are questions that deserve answers. #tennis #wta #atp

Beautiful!

Oregon coast?

Keep it up! CB has a very sad customer service approach. Ignoring customer issues is their mantra. #chess #chesspunks

Welcome to BlueSky, Jimmy! It will be fun watching Andy try to contain his emotions on the sideline. Probably gave Brad Gilbert high blood pressure to do the same with Coco!

I'm looking forward to tracking the progress of Andy Murray coaching Novak Djokovic! Two big personalities on the same team, going to be fun! #atp #wta #usta #tennis

Why do you recruit a highly ranked doubles team and then bench them for a "tie" deciding match? Even more of a head scratcher is when your Team Captain is a former top ranked doubles player himself. #tennis #sports #atp #usta
