Captain's Gambit

This looks pretty fun. I bet it would even help with visualization of the board.

Very interesting! That looks hard!

I've seen some good chess talk around here. I hope it continues to grow.

Also troubling that things are feeling a little quieter over here now.

This seems like a decent starting point until I'm willing to drop some money one day. Thanks!

Whoa, this is so much! Huge win for Lichess here.

Sometimes I watch tournament videos and see players putting pieces so far off center that they look like they're in another square. I don't know how it doesn't affect people's board vision.

This one looks very promising!

Ah, I bet this is what most of the pro players are using in their videos...

I've never heard of this! Will check it out, thanks.

Maybe that's my best option. I just see lots of big players using some separate programs in their videos on youtube, and I feel like I'm missing out on a fun tool.

Could any #chesspunks point me in the right direction to downloading a #chess games database? I'm not sure where to start, but I see others do it and it looks fun.

Ideally something that I could store locally and free.

The original, of course!

These chess variants are getting out of control.

LeVar Burton, of all people, did that to me.😄

If you see this, post a knight.

Scotty knew how to get loose.

I don't have a strong opinion on IPAs, but now I really want to try this goblin beer.

Imagine having the confidence to wear mirrored glasses, allowing your opponent to see all of your pieces.

Go Karen!

Kirk, Spock, Bones, Chekhov, and a few other crewfolk are out and about on a lush green planet. Just out there in the moment, not a cell phone in sight. Kirk and Spock are standing close with Bones in the middle looking on. Spock is holding and examining an object that seems to have been broken into two pieces. Closed caption reads, "Fragile, good cleavage."

I wonder how many chess players are huge XCOM fans.

What's the Point of Puzzles? “Chess is 99% tactics,” is one of the most misleading chess quotes.

What's the point of puzzles?

Thanks #chesspunks for helping me get over my writers block.

It gets me every time

I don't know what line weights are, but I like this.

I am not 100% happy with some of the line weights, but I am too lazy to correct them.
