I'm a coach and I helped someone reach 2700. Unfortunately, these two things are completely unrelated.

A nice exercise for #chesspunks. From my Titled Tuesday game. Try not to just guess the move ('Oh, this one looks good), but also back it up with calculation. This way you can benefit from solving and eventually improve. And I post these so that you can improve. White to play

I liked @GMJacobAagaard's idea of "What would Hulk do in this position?" so much that I asked my student today: "What would Hawkeye do in this position?" ๐Ÿ˜…. P.S. It helped, he found the good move quickly ๐Ÿ‘

If you haven't solved #chess puzzles in a while, start with easier ones and work your way up. Here's one for #chesspunks. Black to mate in 3.

Can't believe Keymer's been staring at Pragg for 6 years already.

As of right now, some players in #TataSteelChess are struggling in their element. Gukesh is getting outplayed in an unbalanced position,.Giri is getting outplayed in an endgame,.Keymer is getting outplayed in the Caro-Kann. Will they turn the tables?.#chess

Looking forward to seeing Gukesh - Erigaisi in the last round of @tatasteelchess. Might be a very interesting/dramatic one!.

If you had to choose how to train with a coach:.A) before a tournament to prepare for it.or B) after the tournament to review everything, .which one would you go with?.Any opinions are welcomed!. #chesspunks #chess.
