I was watching a video on the French and came across this trap. It's got to the most surprising opening trap I've ever seen!

Hello everyone!
Tomorrow (11/5) our club will be participating in the first round of a live multi-club tournament, called the Sacrificer's Cup. This first round will be a rapid arena lasting 2 hours. Even if you can't play the whole 2 hours, I encourage you to enjoy a few games!
In this tournament, we will be playing clubs of a similar strength as us in a group stage, and then we might advance into further rounds of the tournament. The 5 rounds of the tournament will be played throughout next week, with 2 rest days on Tuesday and Thursday. Check out the links below for more information:

Hi guys!
My biggest hobby is birding, (bird-watching), and I love going out to find birds I haven't seen before. This white bird in the photo is a Ross's Goose which I saw today - my 173rd species! I thought you might enjoy this picture I got:
Some facts about Ross's Goose:
Ross's Geese are native to North America. They nest in the northern tundras of Canada and spend the winter in the southern central US.
Ross's Goose rarely travel in groups during migration season. They tend to tag along with large groups of Canada Geese (as was the case here) or Snow Geese
Ross's Goose is a rare bird in my area, only a handful of others are in my state right now!
I hope you found this interesting, and feel free to ask me questions about this bird, or other birds!

We were having a conversation about Vote Chess rules in the Notes section, let's continue here
This is the original club's Vote Chess Rules which was made a couple weeks ago: https://www.chess.com/announcements/view/vote-chess-how-to-and-rules
Ask below if you have questions or need clarification on anything. I would love to have as much people involved in Vote Chess as possible! It is a very fun club vs. club event.
Also, if you have any ideas on how to improve these rules, please share them!

Who's better currently, Hikaru or Magnus? Who's better all-time? Who's the better attacker, who's the better defender? etc.

Hi everyone!
I have a question for you all:
When visiting this chess club or other chess clubs, where do you find yourself going to the most?
For example: the notes section, club events, forum, etc.
Also, back when we had the old club layout, did anyone ever use the links in the private description?
I am asking this question because I had the idea of putting images which are links at the top of the private description. They could act as fast ways to navigate around the club. There's only room for 3 or 4 though so please tell me what links you think are most important.

The NFL (National American Football League) started their season a couple weeks ago. At the end pf the season, the best teams out of the 32 NFL teams will compete in the playoffs. The last two playoff teams compete in the finals, or Super Bowl, to decide who the NFL champion is.
I thought it would be fun if we all guessed who will win the Super Bowl now. Then after the Super Bowl is played in February, we can see if anyone guessed correctly!
Some rules:
You only get one guess, your first guess is your final guess
No changing guesses or 'reguessing'
Don't make fun of someone for the team they choose
This forum topic will close at the end of the month

What did you have to eat for breakfast? Even if it was something basic, share it with us! Maybe there'll be a common trend.
