I presently play the Queen's gambit with white or the Sicilian with black.
Learning and growing my chess ability and the end goal is to be a competitive player and coach.

Thinking about my chess recently, wondering if it might be time to get myself a coach #chess #chesspunks

Any recommendations?

That moment where an opponent blatantly blunders a queen, and you have to stop yourself for a second because your first thought is "where is the trap" #chess #chesspunks

It's going so well! Incredibly invested in it!

Working my way through and making progress with "Pump up your rating" By Axel Smith today #chess #chesspunks

Think about your chess rating like a leaking glass of water. It'll only rise to the level of the holes in your game. Thing is, you've got to plug those holes from the bottom up. Keep working on and identifying those holes! Eventually you'll reach your rating goal

Just had this position today with a tragic ending for black. Remember when looking for checks, captures, and threats, to also check for your opponent's! #chess #chesspunks #blunder

You aren't stupid, you may just not be seeing something. Chess is a game of stubborn self attrition, keep training, keep practicing, keep learning.

Remember to anticipate your opponent's plan. It doesn't matter the ELO, they are trying to beat you too! Keep those eyes sharp! #chess #chesspunks

Don't fall for traps!

Today was focused on learning how to take a hard loss, LOL. #chess #chesspunks

Time to analyze! Keep moving forward!

That's hilarious, I would feel great if I could break 1500 consistently LMFAO

Got to the end of the #perpetualchesspodcast and now am in the "hurry up and wait" group. Heck #chess #chesspunks

Today is working on intuition and making a plan in the middle game #chess #chesspunks

Recently got over my rating anxiety on chess.com. unfortunately it means that I'm losing a lot of games but that's how you learn right?

Rating will go up and down, but actually playing instead of just smashing my face against books is the only way I'm going to learn and get better
