WHERE'S THE FINISH? Had this in a blitz game today and totally panicked with: 1...Bxc3 2. Qxc3 Rd1+ 3. Ke2 Rxg1 4. Bxc6 (thought he had to play Bxh3 and I'm up an exchange) There's many ways to win this, how would you continue? Black to move and win! #chess #chesspunks 🦁πŸ”₯

1. Nd7!! is one the best moves of 2025! White needs tempo to deliver Rh4-idea. After this move White is objectively winning, props to Zvjagintsev for not losing this game!

MAKE THEIR MOST LOGICAL MOVE A BLUNDER! In this position, I played Rb5 which sets up a devastating trap (while also improving a piece)! What did I have in mind if my opponent plays the highlighted move, attacking my A pawn? #chess #chesspunks 🦁πŸ”₯

Really sad and shocked to hear about the passing of GM Daniel Naroditsky.. One of the most inspiring and best teachers the chess world has seen - you will be missed. Still feels like a bad dream.. Rest in peace, Danya.
