Gifs don’t work in this site. You have to screen record and play through the game.

Can we get these for every mating pattern?

Indeed. I also use the β€œeasy” feature at times. It drills easier puzzles and patterns in to your brain.

How is that mate? It’s not even check

As requested by a viewer, I recorded a new video where I play a game in real time and analyze afterwards!

Keep an eye out for a post at midnight CET (6pm EST)!

In this video, you'll learn:

- My exact thought process for every move
- What I do during my opponent's move
- When I spend time and when I don't
- How to get practical takeaways from engine analysis
and more!

I’m happy with that.
f4
Rd2
Kf1
Nc6
b3

You can’t stop Rd2

Need to activate the bishop and kick the knight, f4 serves both purposes.

Yes I’m +3 from memory

No, look for a move not involving the Queen.

27.01.2025 06:06 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

No not Qd7. It’s not a Queen move

Had a win v a 1905 this morning, 30+0 time control. What move did black make here to lose instantly. #chess #chesspunks

Lichess for puzzles, the dashboard is great, and I play β€œless serious rapid on there.”

Your links are wrong I think

*in the majority of instances. I do my puzzles in lichess and you can see the ratings of the players. It’s an eye opener..

Tactics matter all the way up, they just get a little more complex.

No cheating here in my opinion. Loads of blunders and inaccuracies in all games

Ok, if not go to feeds>discover and type in chesspunks

One of my cleanest games v an 1885 on chesscom. I don’t think I’ve ever had 2 bishops as powerful as this. Opponent played sort of Dutch defence I’m not overly familiar with. #chesspunks#chess

Indeed, didn’t see the other attack. I should have, it’s obvious.

I bought it last night and I’m 9 pages in. It’s great and is a good follow up book to Chess Tactics from Scratch.
