A very regally historic corner,18th & Olive…❗️THE FIRST WORLD #CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP held matches 6 through 9 here… 1990's “White Palace" filmed Susan Sarandon & James Spader (a.k.a #ultron) at White Knight Diner. The movie poster is on the back wall. #stlouis👑 @WorldChessHOF – at St Louis, MO
Thanks @chesscom preliminary analysis. I actually glanced at this candidate move during the #chess game. Gotta STOP letting the obvious re-capture scare me out of calculating it way further… Maeda22 vs dellmusashi - chess.com/live/game/31074655… – at St Louis, MO
If you long to play #chess, then play chess❗ It’s crazy how so many of my chess cohorts from the @STLChessClub think I’ve let chess go simply because I’ve stopped going there since Twenty-15. I’ll get back into tournaments soon. – at St Louis, MO
You have to do A LOT of #chess diagrams without much concern about correct results(#immersion); that may seem arguable and weak-minded,but you must get the understanding of what it’s trying to teach you & not get hung-up on mistakes.The treasure is in the training😉❗ @chess24com – at St Louis, MO
You gotta be very careful when you capture with, or advance your f-pawn. Notice how I pounced shortly after Whites’s #chess : dellmusashi vs bplpfl - chess.com/live/game/29724798… via @chesscom
Notice White counts the position upon 46. d8Q as '1' then, count the repetition of this position twice more. #chess: Hartcwm vs dellmusashi - chess.com/daily/game/1999671… via @chesscom
White to move on this 22nd move, and I missed 2 mates-in-3; although he “tipped his #king” here, still #icouldkickmyself… HARD😡! #chess: dellmusashi vs divoch - chess.com/live/game/29482909… via @chesscom – at St Louis, MO
As per Ivan Sokolov➡️😠⬅️ [🤣],“If you blunder, don’t panic!”I panicked at opponent’s58. Nxd3; can you see in the pic (Black to move) what Black should play? It didn’t really cost me the game, but, def I slid#chess: lixaz vs dellmusashi - chess.com/live/game/29461216… via @chesscom – at St Louis, MO
The @chesscom analysis admonished against my 19.h4 for 19. f4 since 6.0-0 naturally results in the Rook being primed to push the f-pawn, AND since > 5.…e6 in an un-castled position,it beckons White to destroy the position in front of Black’s King. #chess: chess.com/live/game/29155465… – at St Louis, MO
Beginners say, “It’s just a pawn.”
Really good chess players say, “Damn, now I’m down a pawn.” – at St Louis, MO
in #chess, making sure that you have #thetwobishops is practically the written rule that I've never seen written. But, you still have to know that its condition: that the center should be clear of pawns (or close to it).

☆WOW☆ I’m JUST cooling down after having my mind blown over the fact that today’s highest-ranking, oldest living WORLD #CHESS #CHAMPION, Vladimir Kramnik (WCC #14, 2000-2006), is number 3 in the WORLD☆ 3️⃣ in the 🌍🤯 ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?l… – at St Louis, MO
