you're a genius. i can't imagine being that good. although i've only been playing frequently for the past several months. it does feel good to be out of the 800's and then 900's

[Ello Sailor]

1670 is not genius. 2600+ is.

You're doing great. Just play more games and, as boring as it is, study openings. I actually prefer 960/Fischer's chess because opening theory is so boring.

i'm not going to read a book about chess. i'm going to keep playing and learning from losses/mistakes/what opponents did to win. thanks for the recommendation though bro

[Ello Sailor]

You can study openings without reading a book, you maniac.

Very chill day here. Its a holiday so there is that. I read for a bit; went and bought stuff for dinner today at a friend’s house, and thats it.

I sense a nap coming soon.

Reading is for the birds. The literate ones.

Just became an uncle for the first time! Gotta wait til later in the year to meet the little guy but I figure they don't have much of a personality in this newborn state so I'm not missing much

[wease]

Congrats Jorge!

Today ended up being much busier than I wanted it to be. After two late nights in a row I was hoping to get a few things wrapped up then take it easy the rest of the day. That didn’t happen. Things just kept coming up I had to take care of.

Yeah they aren't much fun until around 2 or so. Til then they might as well still be in the womb

[BurtReynolds]

I thought you were already an uncle, or maybe you just have young siblings. Can't remember Anyway congrats!

[Jorge]

Yes, I have two much younger siblings. They're in their early 20s now
