I ended this game from one of our daily matches with a cool knight checkmate!
Also, if you have games to share, make a new forum topic or add them to the 'Share Your Games' forum.

I had an idea for a game I might prototype: Mini-chess!
Chess but only with a 6x6 board, but what do you think of the starting position?
I know the queens are on the wrong color in the picture, but what about knights and bishops? I think each side should have a knight and bishop, but should the bishops be the same color? Should the bishop be on the queenside or kingside?
I think it's a fun idea, I might make a browser game out of it
Update: I'm making it a reality! (You can't play against other people online, it's just local) You can play here!

Hi all!
The holiday season makes me so happy and excited! On that last day of school before break, we played this fun game in English class, where our teacher took the names of Christmas carols and songs, and used a thesaurus to change them beyond recognition! I have done the same with 5 Christmas songs and carols, let's see if you guys can decipher them!
Hushed Darkness
Listen, the Messenger Exalted Beings make Harmonious Noise
Elder Flattened by a Cloven Aviator
Embellish the Interior Passageways
Commencement of Yuletide Similarities
Please include the number in your guess
Have fun!

Hi guys!
Every game of chess, we tend to start with a favorite set of opening moves. What do you play as an opening? Even if you don't play an 'official' opening, share what you play! Also include some reasons why you enjoy your opening. If you want, you could even include a game showcasing your opening.
Please participate! It will be interesting to see what everyone's opening style is like!

The match
Every time I make a change to my Chess engine, I have to have it play a match against the previous version, to make sure I didn't mess anything up. Here's a match version 3.0.6 played against 3.0.7-Dev, that ended in 22.5 to 13.5, with v3.0.7-Dev on top!

Over the past week or so, I've been coding my own Chess Engine from scratch in the Rust programming language, it's named Maxwell, and I wanna get some feedback to see how it plays!
If you wanna play it, I've built Windows and Linux binaries which you can download here
https://github.com/eboatwright/MaxwellChess/releases/tag/v2.0
The game window can't save games currently, so if you could record the game in https://chess.com/analysis (without looking at Stockfish of course XD) and post the games here, that'd be amazing!
I'll be adding the submitted games to this collection:
https://www.chess.com/library/collections/maxwells-games-my-chess-engine-2FFU82NM4
Update: I've just released v2.0, and have updated this post accordingly

Hey guys!
Now that Thanksgiving is done in my area, there are many people who already have decked their houses out with arrays of lights and inflatables to celebrate Christmas which is over a month away. What do you think about decorating for the winter holidays?
When do you think the right time to start is? Do you decorate, and if so what do you do?

Lost a blitz game to this checkmate. Lesson learned: Even though the position may seem sound, double check!

Hello everyone!
Thanksgiving is right around the corner for our U.S members. What food do you enjoy the most at Thanksgiving dinner?

Among the two remarkable, splendid, and flawless options, namely the pointy hat bois or the ponies, which one would you partake in a game of Chess with? In my individual perspective, derived from careful contemplation straight from my thinker-thonker, I would opt for the pointy hat bois.
