Estimates are a tool for managing fear. When there is no fear no estimates are needed.

The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!

If I managed to leave the WhatsApp family group I can totally leave this with no remorse 😅 It's sad, but I really can't be in toxic places, even if it is with people I love.

Nothing is really holding me back apart from knowing many of you are connected to me only here. So I'll keep this alive for a while (just inactive as lately), and please reach me before I go if you want to stay in touch - I'll do the same.

One of the most difficult fallacies to overcome in chess thinking is the preference of statics (material, poor pawn structure) over dynamics (open lines, initiative). It’s like preferring more money over amazing experiences. The true art is knowing when one supersedes the other.

2 years already working for @chessable 🎂 As a coder who's passionate about #chess and #learning, it still feels as exciting as the first day 😊 But what I love the most is the amazing human team that I'm so lucky to share battles with 💕🙌 #healthyworkplace

"Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential." Even a single line of code that you don't need right now, but think you _might_ need, violates this principle. I'm glad that you can predict the future. Can you give me Saturday's Lottery numbers?

👆 I just composed that puzzle because in a game I had the following position and I won with the obvious&easy Kc5 but I thought "hmmm, would d5 have been winning?". Then a saw an interesting pattern, one thing led to another and there you have a puzzle 😬
Never an interference interfered so much lol
UNBELIEVABLE! 🤯 GM Ivanchuk plays Nd7!!, perhaps the move of the year!

what's your biggest achievement in chess?
Hey, @chesscom when I play duck chess 1+5 and there's a server restart it takes ~2 min to get back to the game. So... "30 seconds have been added to your clocks" is funny because at that point one of the players already flagged. How about a 10 min warning before restarting?

In every case where I was “forced” to cut quality for speed it was because I offered that choice to a non-technical boss. And in every case I delivered late. The only way to go fast is to go well.

Hi @chessgamescom Is it true you added a wide IP ban that includes, amongst other servers, the @lichess servers? Importing games from chessgames by URL stopped working. ☹️ As a premium user of yours and patron of lichess for many years, I find this utterly disappointing.
