It is my pleasure. Hope it will help you!

@drcanchess.bsky.social very nice video about the Hübner Nimzo Indian with clear explanation of important concepts youtu.be/rEmsO_dNps4?...

All 10 of my Chessable courses now include video! “My Opponent’s Move” just got a video upgrade. chessable.com/my-opponents... This course helps you raise your chess floor by fixing a critical calculation process: spotting the threats behind your opponent’s last move.

Getting ready for the summer read.

It was an honor to host world-renowned cognitive scientist and NM Prof. Chris Chabris @cfchabris.bsky.social to explore what cognitive science teaches us about chess thinking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag8a...

I had the great pleasure of talking to GM Jacob Aagaard. He took a deeply respectable approach as a GM, thinking out loud as I tested him with positions (he tested me, too, with five positions!). A great coach doesn’t just lecture—they solve problems with you. 👇

I just saw a review of the Blunder-Check course from a neurologist—and at that moment, it felt like a year’s worth of sweat, effort, and love had truly paid off. #chesspunks The sale is ending in two days! www.chessable.com/preventing-b...

After a full year of designing, testing, and refining, I’m beyond excited to announce the release of my 10th (!) @chessable.com course: Preventing Blunders in Chess: chessable.com/blundercheck Thread 🧵

In the latest episode, I sat down with Nate Solon, and we challenged each other by evaluating a series of interesting positions. #chess #chesspunks #evaluation #calculation www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMoK...

It was a great pleasure to host NM Ben Johnson, the voice behind the legendary Perpetual Chess Podcast! We dived into his journey as a podcaster and lessons from his book Perpetual Chess Improvement. 🎙️♟️ #chess #chesspunks www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBRO...

The blunder-check course starts cooking after one year of hard work. 2 hours of video recorded, around 18 hours to go! #chessable #chess #chesspunks

It was a pleasure talking to IM Alex Astaneh. Among other things, we discussed his comprehensive course, "The Positional Chess Patterns Manual". He even tested me live on some instructive positions—always love a good strategy session! #chess #chesspunks www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VxF...

Everyone knows 'zugzwang'. But do you know 'The Einstellung Effect'? #chesspunks #chess #cognitivebias www.youtube.com/shorts/rVNkP...

A student came up with a brilliant name for a mistake he kept making: The Tennis Fallacy 🎾😂 He said we often see the board like a tennis court—danger coming from the "other side" (4th/5th rank as the net). This makes us miss enemy pieces on our side attacking across the net.

I had the pleasure of chatting with WIM Luciana Morales ( @lucianamorales.bsky.social)! We explored her Chessable course "Queens of the Chess Board" and the styles of the first 5 Women’s World Champions. Stay tuned for a hidden gem from her own game at the end! #chess #chesspunks Video👇

I’m beyond honored to be named Chessable Author of the Year 2024! 🏆 chessable.com/blog/annouci... A massive THANK YOU to Chessable, my students & the entire chess community. This award means even more given the amazing authors on Chessable—it’s a privilege to be among them.👇

Dr. Benji Portheault joined the podcast to discuss the mental side of chess— rating anxiety, nerves, and building confidence. Thank you so much, @benjiportheault.bsky.social for sharing your valuable insights! #chess #chesspunks #psychology #mindset Video below.

Only one move wins. All other moves lose. Black to play #chesspunks

The weekend starts well when it starts with this. #chesspunks #fundamentalchesscalculationskills #chessable

In the last episode, we explored why many players hesitate to sacrifice material. Chess nerds, can you recall which game this position is from? Video below. #chesspunks

In the last episode, I analyzed one of the most instructive games in chess history: Alekhine - Yates, 1922. #chesspunks Video below.

Thumbnail fixed! The Chess Coach Ono podcast episode is live. Thank you @theonozone.bsky.social for joining me and discussing topics around adult improvement. I really enjoyed it! Video below. #chess #chesspunks #podcast

Another excellent video, thank you for posting it. 🙏 Sadly I didn’t solve the last puzzle as a Christmas decoration obscured the bishop on c1, so rather than being winning, g5 looked like a blunder! 🤦‍♂️

The new year begins with endgame patterns! I explained 8 crucial endgame patterns to make the calculation process more efficient. Video below. #chesspunks #chess #endgame

So are we calling the World Blitz Champion Ian Carlsen or Magnus Nepomniachtchi? #chesspunks

I am visiting my old home in Turkey. Here is the table where everything started, around 19 years ago. I passionately read chess books and played through the games at this very table. Most of those books are still here in my old library. Wishing you all a fantastic 2025! #chesspunks #chess

If you are tired of the jeansgate drama, you can have a look at my podcast episode with @kamrynheidi.bsky.social She is a role model for adult improvers. Thank you for coming and sharing your chess tips, Kamyrn! #chesspunks #chess Video below.

Azel Chua episode alert! Azel's "Calculation" course broke records on Chessable. He shared concrete positions to clarify his "Burger Technique"—a systematic approach that breaks down calculation into three essential steps. #chesspunks #chessable #chess

Decided to watch one game before bed. The moment I joined, MVL played ...Qxc4 and allowed mate in 3 with Qxf8. Magnus did not see it... Time to get back to working on my blunder-check course... #chesspunks

So I told my designer to create a thumbnail for my upcoming episode with @theonozone.bsky.social . And here is what he gave me. #YokoOno #chesspunks

Where are you on your chess journey? #chesspunks a) Mountain Stupid b) Valley of Despair c) Slope of Enlightenment

11 podcast episodes were completed since starting in August. I think it would be a strong squad if this were a football team. More to come in 2025! #chesspunks #chess #podcast

In the last episode I showed how I am creating puzzles for my blunder-check course. How should White capture the bishop on d2? #chesspunks #chess

Ding the Comeback King! #DingGukesh

If a move looks winning, stop! It may be a losing one! #chesspunks #chess #blunder

Gukesh likes playing chess. #chesspunks #DingGukesh

Is dxc6 a brilliant move or a blunder? #chesspunks

Do you know your attacking patterns? White to play #chesspunks

The new episode with the legendary coach Dan Heisman is live! 🧠 We explored typical thought process errors, bridging the knowledge/skill gap, and time management. #chesspunks #chess This time we could record only for two hours. Next time we may go for 5 hours! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCsM...

I just wanted to let you know that all my Chessable courses are on sale due to Black Friday. #chesspunks You can find them all here: www.chessable.com/author/Can_K...

If you want the World Championship vibe to continue on the rest day, here is a video on Petrosian and how the knight pair can shine over the bishop pair. #chess #chesspunks www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-fR...

Can you find the only winning idea for Black? #chesspunks

Ding obviously saw his bishop would get trapped on c2. He just wanted to give us a little glimpse of the legendary Spassky-Fischer Match. #chesspunks #chess #DingGukesh

Teleporting to my childhood...

Another good thing about the World Championship match is it generates instructive positions for my upcoming blunder-check course. Should the black king move to h7 or h8? #chesspunks?

Great to see Ding back in action! As Rudy T said, "Never underestimate the heart of a world champion." On a different note, look how many pieces appeared on that c4-outpost! #chesspunks #chess #DingGukesh

The new podcast episode just dropped with Aiden Rayner. We talked about visualization, conceptualization, working memory, intuition, blunders, and adult improvement. In the end, he tested us on a blindfold exercise too! #chesspunks www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P6g...

My 5.5 year old son just wrote this spontaneously. “Chessable or Twitter is Best?” He already picked Chessable!

As this subscriber says, anthropomorphism seems to work on a chessboard! "Talking about happy and sad pieces gets the message across to me more effectively than reading chess theory does. Now when I play, I find myself thinking like "if I commit to this move, what are the consequences? ...

Dan Heisman accepted to appear on my podcast! The only problem is there are gazillions of things we can discuss. Is the chess world ready for 5-hour-long episodes a la Lex Fridman? Feel free to offer questions I should ask him! #chesspunks
