My brother is a first class grad, Glory to God. My parents really did sacrifice everything to raise us two, it's insane looking back. And they did such a brilliant job of it. We'd give them the whole world and it still won't make up for it. But we'd try.

My first OTB FIDE-rated tournament is officially over. Finished with 2.5/7. Not the result I hoped for, but it's all part of the journey. I met new people, connected with fellow chess players, and finally got to meet some of my mutuals in person. The experience was worth it.

Crafting with colored paper and glittery stuff is actually so therapeutic. Gotta remember that for my next losing streak... ✌️

Be5 Nxe5 Rxc1 Rxc1 Qb5 Rc8+ Kg7 b8=Q Qxb8 Rxb8 E2 Is black winning tho?
Black to move. In the game, Black found the best move but missed the follow-up. Can you find both? 🤔

Bodhana is a total superstar. She beat me three years ago and now she’s an International Master I don’t fancy my chances! What an amazing player she is and will go on to be.
There goes another record @schoolschess @ecfchess 🥳 It's the @london_chess next
