Hey #chesspunks โค๏ธ Im doing some reqruiting work out in the field tomorrow. Can you help share your top reasons to join a local chess club? The target audience are adults who are curious about chess, or that have somewhat fun with it online - but they're not obsessed (yet) ๐Ÿ˜„

I've been enjoying 'Chess Words of wisdom ' by M. Henebry lately. There are no diagrams or analysis in it, which makes it perfect when you want to take some light reading to the beach or park & can't bring a board ๐Ÿค— Recommend! โค๏ธ #chesspunks

The discussions on low confidence and negative self-talk in chess has had a positive effect on me. I'm starting to not care SO much about messing up, there's always chances to come back (especially on my level) ๐Ÿคบ Chess feels more fun this way! ๐Ÿ˜„ #chesspunks

Stream 1/10 finished โ™Ÿ๏ธ I have a tremendous respect for all chess commentators now, it was not easy! But thankfully I had my coach @sjakkSheila by my side which made it much easier โค๏ธ

Do you prefer studying with a real board, on the pc, or both? Do you do certain things with a board only, and other things on the computer? I love the flexibility the pc provides, but there's something to be said about moving real, physical pieces around. ๐Ÿฅฐ #chesspunks

I got to talk to @Jesse_Feb โค๏ธ I decided to ask if she has any tips for women who want to start streaming, as it can be very scary to put yourself out there. I believe chess will benefit from more female creators, so I really hope her words will inspire someoneโค๏ธ #chesspunks

Look what I found ๐Ÿฅน i won this board for placing second in a kids 'tournament'. Little did I know nobody in that tournament knew how to play, and that it's more to the game than learning how the pieces move ๐Ÿ˜‚ I wish I knew back then and continued! #chesspunks
