Stay in the present. One move at a time. Getting too ahead of yourself is how you let totally winning positions slip. #chess #qotd

Don't confuse patience with passivity. The winning strategy is often active patience. You create the right moment, but when it's there, you strike decisively. #chess #QOTD

Your chess schema is your mental framework shaped by your past experience, influencing how you perceive and interpret new positions. The model has to be constantly updated and optimized. #chess #thinking

Frequently the most powerful move on the board in Grandmaster games is the one that makes the least noise. That's because we think it's a low priority because it doesn't look like it has a dangerous threat. Its unexpectedness gives it the power. #chess #QOTD

Defense isn't merely resisting the storm, but an active search for equilibrium amidst chaos; a leg for balance to strike back. #chess #qotd

They have become the Golden Wait Warriors. All we can do is wait for the most beloved person in all of professional sports to return. The Timberwolves are favored by 11 tonight and expected to wipe out the Warriors in 5 games. #NBAPlayoffs #NBA

Simplicity is our guide to what's true. That's why every mistake you make in chess must be linked to a principle or a clear pattern for applicability. #chess #thinking

Maximize who you are and lean into those strengths. There will be times your play gets exposed for this, but analysis morphs into tighter understanding #Chess

Every move's a hypothesis. The game's the experiment. Post-game analysis, especially with objective engine scrutiny, is where deeper learning—the confirmation or refutation of those hypotheses—occurs. #chess
