After reading “50 mistakes you should know” I started to categorise my errors in tournament games. One that came up often was “failure to find the silent defense” or also “prophylaxis”, but in one of my latest games I was able to play these amazing moves, chess improvement is subtle! #chesspunks

Hola a todas, estoy intentando buscarles casa a estos gatitos que se ha quedado solitos porque su dueña ha fallecido. Son muy caseros y cariñosos y no entienden porque ahora están solos en una casa vacía.

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 12 (dont be too hasty!) This endgame chapter was challenging and in this particular ⭐️⭐️⭐️ puzzle, the author expected me to find a move that even the great Petrosian could not find 🫠🫠🫠 To my relief, I played the same as he, even if its not the best #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 11 (black against the Reti, white against the King’s Indian) completed with good score! 😎 This time I’m a little pissed: my idea in this puzzle, Nb5! is not even considered as a possibility in the authors solution and SF even prefers it! #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 10 (the lawn phalanx) completed! Luckily the author also features some game he lost, even if they were against such legends as Karpov! White to move and win, not easy at all! #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 7 (exploiting weaknesses) completed! 😎 This chapter was very interesting and felt very practical, some of the moves required first identifying the weakness and then calculating a way to exploit it, which happens very frequently in real games!! ⭐️⭐️ #chesspunks

I want to write a blogpost about the fun refactoring and game dev tips with types I had to do with elm 🌳 for these games… hope I find the time to write it and that it’s interesting for someone else 🙏🏼
My Japanese teacher wanted us to learn the prefectures from Japan so I did another game in Elm 🌳 to help me memorise them! Enjoy! 🗾 @japonesaldia.com elm-japan.netlify.app

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 6 (a lead in development) completed! Another difficult chapter, most of the exercises were taken from Alekhines games! 🫠 (come on there’s no way I can calculate like him…) white to play in this ⭐️⭐️⭐️ puzzle I failed. Agadmator would have succeeded! #chesspunks

#YusupovChallenge update: book 6, chapter 5 (don’t allow counterplay!) completed. 😎 This was a very difficult endgame chapter, lots of calculation involved and I spent like 4 hours on it and also pulled up SF to check my solutions. Failed this ⭐️⭐️⭐️ puzzle, black to play and hold the draw #chesspunks

Someone gets it!
Haskell is a pure functional language with lazy evaluation. It doesn’t compute anything unless absolutely necessary—just like you on a Monday.
