The objective of this puzzle is not to find the best move for white, but rather to find the move that creates the most pins on the opponent.

It's past 3:30, which was @BananaPeelEater's deadline to getting this club to 700 members, as I explained in notes. My men tracked her down, and I had gotten what I needed to get away with the crime and profit, when the club reached 700. But then Bill decided to leave with his alts, so now, asI have Banana trapped in her warehouse hideout, with explosives ready to be activated, I'm leaving it up to you. Should I kill her? After all, we did reach 700 before I caught up to her, but we don't have it now. Two very compelling arguments, so since I'm nice, I'll leave it up to the people. Thumbs upfor killing, thumbs down for saving. Vote vote vote!

tallicy agreed to face reveal if we got a certain forum in the bananas to 10000 comments by January 2, and we did it in a day. Thanks to everyone that helped. However, he has since backed out and needs to be punished. So, block him and spam join requests here: https://www.chess.com/club/tallicycube-private-club

So, my question is what should we do to make this club as weird but as active as possible? Can the weirdness make us an active club?

look how hot! and he is playing the Caro! who wants him??

post pics of your valentine here 😏

I see some ppl complaining that the club's activity is going down, so I decided to offer my two cents. Here are a couple ideas 1. Spam Threads. This'll show what an active club you are, and if we can spam more threads, it'll showcase our technique and maybe some mods'll give us tips! Bonus points if you can reach 20,000 first! Everybody will love reading ALL of the spam threads! In case anybody wants to know the secret, it's simple. Just make a funny post, and to ensure it's seen by everybody, click post nonstop! If you rly want to go above and beyond use an autoclicker! This'll ensure that you get even more threads done in less time, with no effort at all! (Besides the effort to get one, I'm too lazy to do it for one occasion, I don't spam often ) 2. Ban All of the Trolls! They'll just come back with illegal alts to complain, and BOOM! Instant activity, everybody's arguing, and we have active participants! Or, you know, people will just make regular threads in spite of them, and the atmosphere will improve. The only problem is that here, the club is mostly run by the trolls, and almost nobody would have the power to kick them out. And if they were successful, there would be almost no SAs, and thus, some opportunistic people might use this as an opportunity to execute tip 1. 3. Have your owner do something. I don't know, maybe if he bribes chess.com to give him an award, then that'll help boost positive activity with the congratulations and the bribery tips galore. 4. Actually Talk About Puzzles? I know, it's crazy, but maybe The Puzzle Patzersare patzers at puzzle discussion? Nah, can't be, there were a couple (basic) threads this week, we're fine. Plus hanging out is way more fun, not to mention with so many active members, we have way more at our disposal than some 'less desirable' clubs where they have been kicked out. 6. Skip Step 5 7. Make Meme Posts Meme post FTW, not that I would spend actual effort into trolling you, right?

It's pretty simple, I was inspired by a vc we're currently playing.

I beat KC with the King David lol

Ok so I know this is a club revolving around the theme of tactics, but I am really struggling to improve my positional play. I rely too much on my tactical ability, and there are just some games where I get outplayed, such as this game: I just cleanly hung a pawn out of the opening, and had an extremely bad position from the start to the finish. How can I prevent this from happening? What am I doing wrong? I'm also searching for a good chess book regarding positional play, so any recommendations are extremely helpful. Thank you for your help!

I found a very nice YouTube video about the Caro-Kann Defense, but I don't know how to upload it, so here is the link: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-UbHw8eDzM And here is one for the siccilian: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm3YgoEiEDc I hope you will enjoy! Have a good day!

Yay or Nay? If so, what should the time control be?
