Ahhhh so the final game of the season, tied 1-1, my game is the decider... If I win, the team completes the immortal 9/9 wins. If I lose, we still come first, but finishing 8/9 would feel like a loss... What happened in the end? Opp resigned on move 24 😁 Congrats Team GB 2 🎉🎉

Did you put this in the intro section of your own book?
When it comes to getting better at chess, books aren't very helpful. Here's what's weird. If I said, "When it comes to getting better at swimming, books aren't very helpful," no one would argue with me. But a bunch of you are about to argue with me on chess.

Worst chess take to date...?
1...f5 is one of the worst legal moves in this position. The "playability" of the "Dutch" says less about any positive quality of this move and more about the size of the drawing margin in chess. Please don't do this to yourself.

If you've had trouble facing 1.e4, I really think the Gurgenidze is worth a shot! It's stylistically unique when compared to the other responses against 1.e4, and so much fun to play 🙂 https://t.co/MA2K9VGJAa Here's the link^ to check it out. Cheers guys!!
