Former 2-Time #1 Ranked Chess.com Top-Blogger! (Back in 2010 & 2011, when Top Bloggers actually had a ranking system.) Twitter Handle: @ChessMarksThSpt Member of The Chess Journalists of America. My group: Co-Creator and Super Admin/News Reporter of The Official Chess.com/TV Group now simply called Chess.comTV Now, a quote or two: "Chess is art. Chess is sport. But it's also war. You have to master on the order of a hundred thousand different chess ideas and concepts, patterns of pawns and pieces. That takes work. And you're going to lose a lot of games in the process, so you'll have to be able to make your peace with that, which isn't easy. Because there's no luck involved in the game, you have to face the fact that you lost because your opp...
My name is Nikola Nestorović (1989), a Chess Grandmaster and Fide Coach from Belgrade (Serbia), and I have played chess for over 20 years. Photo: Chess Bundesliga, where I played for the chess team from Augsburg. During that time, I accomplished most of my playing career goals. The most important fact is that I became a Grandmaster at the end of 2015 and officially became FIDE Chess Trainer in 2018 with the best Fide rating of 2517. As I was growing up, I realized that I enjoyed teaching, so I decided that I was going to pursue that kind of profession. Photo from Championship of Serbia (2023.), where I was a Chess Coach during the tournament to the GM Aleksandar Indjic, 2595 who won this tournament. My students have different levels of strength, from beginners to Grandmasters - but I...

Nunca li nenhum livro ou tive muitos amigos que se interessavam tanto quanto eu, então comecei a esquecer do jogo. Lá por 2014, com 20 anos, comecei a aprender e praticar de novo, mas o trabalho engoliu todo meu tempo e tive de desistir de novo. Sempre amei o jogo, então mais uma vez estou dando uma chance ao meu xadrezinho, mesmo que seja capivara demais. Quando focado, até vejo umas boas jogadas, mas quando tô com a cabeça na lua - o que aco...

How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to Your word. - Psalm 119:9 INTRODUCTION Hey there, my name is Noah B! I am a Christian teen who loves everything chess. MY CHESS JOURNEY Almost 3 years ago now, I discovered the game of chess when one of my best friends started really getting into it. He taught me how the pieces move and all of that, and I was fascinated. I decided that I wanted to get much better. I created a Chess.com account, started watching a lot of chess on YouTube and Twitch, and the rest is history. After about a year of playing chess, I started participating in my first chess tournaments. I was terrified, but I knew it was good for me if I wanted to get better. I faced my fears and kept...
