After the game, my opponent asked me âwhose opening moves were those?â. I hadnât a fucking clue what he was going on about. I only realised years later that the chess lads learn off by heart the moves of the chess masters.

Surprised @balbec folded so quickly.
I played chess when I was a chap; Iâd a lovely green and white wooden chess box and pieces. Watching The Queenâs Gambit brought a yearning to whip it out again. Then I remembered there are about 100 things Iâd like to do with my spare time ahead of playing chess, and about 500 other things I donât want to do, but should be doing, and I havenât thought about chess since.

Chess used to be very popular when I was at school. I had a reasonable claim at being the second best playerâŚwe had no idea there were such things as openings etc. I unsuccessfully played the best player a couple of times a week for the best part of a year. I finally had the fucker out-moved, out-thought and out-mannedâŚthen the other lad who had a reasonable claim on the second best title flicked the board in the air, and that was that. We all knew where the pieces where etc but the champ claimed otherwise.
The sense of injustice, rage and frustration stays with me to this day⌠overshadowing even the county and ulster senior club championship medals Iâd won a couple of years earlier

Those city of London interbank competitions are the most ultra-competitive circle jerks outside the Leinster schools senior cup. Type A.
Ah lovely.
Iâm perturbed that you actually typed all that out though.
Watching Cobra Kai, which is currently finally addressing the running sore that the karate kid was a cunt.

He was a jerk.
Heâs more likeable in cobra Kai.
Whatâs the difference.
I accidentally check Mated a Yank last night on chess.com and went to bed sated.
Itâs like a less physical jiu jitsu but just as exhausting.
Its just a cleaner, better organised site imo.
