The qualifiers of the 960 tournament are on fire with even 2500s being in most of them. Most people are so under rated. I played a 1200 who had a blitz rating of 2100 so the tournament isn't that easy for a 1500 like me in the variant. That is...

First I want to say that I don't think Caruana played good In the tiebreaks. Especially in the 3rd game, he didn't get much space and at the end, he literally let Magnus Carlsen get his pawn promoted. After 12 incredible (but boring) games, we sa...
I decided to post some tactics that I saw in the book "Tactics time! 1001 Chess tactics from the Games of everyday chess Players" written by Tim Brannan and Anthea Carson. Also I will post some tactics that I came up with. ...
Yesterday I heard someone saying that when you bring your pawn to the other side of the board, you get a Queen. I was so angry about it because that is not true. When you bring your pawn to the other side of the board you can choose which piece yo...

Hikaru had a good attack with the queen and rook but resigned. Of course most of the moves they played I don't understand but I know that the attack with the queen and rook was good.
I know that almost everyone knows it but I played with some people to see if they would do it and two people with big rating didn't find it. Here is the table: found it didn't find it Rating ...
In the lessons it says that if your bishop or other pieces are "good" and by that they mean if the pieces are not blocked by something, you don't trade. This game that I played shows that sometimes you have to trade in order to not be checkmated. ...
I have discovered a new way of taking the Rook for a Bishop Of course, the game can be played differently but the Queen has to go somewhere that she can eat the Rook.
This game is the best game I have ever played. Black ate almost all of my pieces but I checkmated him. When I moved my pawn to f6 I knew he had almost no way of surviving. He could not eat my pawn, because it was pinned and the move was t...
