I recently crafted and completed a 6 hour chess boot camp at home. It was such an amazing experience that I wrote about it. I highly recommend trying it yourself.

I posted an updated episode of Chess Journeys Ep. 193. The audio is much better now. I discussed a wide range of issues such as why I came back to chess, handling disappointments, new resources, resource reviews, and many others.

So happy to see that people are liking my Chessable course: chessable.com/chess-journe.... This review is particularly kind. Anyone else think that I should start writing the sequel? (Or am I already doing that??)

The biggest weakness in my game is seeing my opponents’ best moves. After months, I am still struggling. Any suggestions for improving this part of my game?

Yet another rapid game where a "boring" exchange Slav that I end quickly with fireworks. Anyone else find this opening leading to fun games, or am I the only one?

I just won my OTB game with a move right out of my upcoming Chessable course. Black to move. Would you recapture with Nxf6? It's satisfying to see the practice pay off in games. #sneakyqueen #chesspunks
