What cocktail do you enjoy with chess, provided it is not a computer you are ignoring? A negroni perhaps?
I rarely drink. 2 drinks a week tops. Which is more than I play chess. I’m usually trying to improve so no alcohol for me. I guess it works for some.
I bought a canister of Focus Mind Connection powder I haven’t started using yet.
His rooks are awful at the moment.
A better trailer. Doesn’t look like my kind of show. I probably won’t have time to watch it.
Me neither. Why use time for that when I could be playing chess?

One of the best posts in the last month here.
Magnus broke the record yesterday for the longest unbeaten streak in classical chess. 125 games. He lost today for the first time in 26 months.

Sounds like next level chess! 126 and 26…what’s the difference?
Your brain is over 200 years old.
So I have trouble winning at chess, because I draw! It’s a tie with the King blocked!
I try to forsee the end, but stripping away the pieces from the king and getting a pawn queened often puts me at the same result…a blocked King and draw. So working on my endgame is as important as my openers, but I need to learn how to strategize a draw with just a King and 2 or more attacking pieces trying for a checkmate.
This was a very large mental block. Like a block of ice as my unexpected goal. Playing like Frankenstein I suppose.
The strategy of the King used by the A.I. may deceptively move towards the pawn to stop its advance and when upon seeing the futility begun running away. The chess I play automatically promotes to queen, and I think the Blocked King is expecting this and cornering himself along the last rows.
you’d be surprised how often i win chess considering my wine consumption when i play
you wouldn’t be surprised by how often i lose
Do you still play, Bill? I only play my phone, and winning or losing is just a matter of choosing the level, which sucks most of the joy out of it.
i play others online
my best fun comes when i don’t play book and i have stumbled across someone who only studied book
you beat me the only time i tried to beat you
i hope the flesh falls from your bones
and that right quick
i will fight you at ping pong
or foosball
i don’t see the difference
fuck man
i work real hard to get an advantage
my opponent cracks up gets desperate increases my advantage
i say move that piece bill it would be interesting to see what they do in response
and lose
move that piece bill it would be interesting to win
yeah that’s lost its appeal for me
I just played some games with my phone. Level 8 of 12. 5 min time limit. It gets exponentially harder at the higher levels. I played a pretty double rook sacrifice and won with my queen on a crowded board. One of my best games in ages. Then I lost 10 games in a row and gave up.
