Dear Mr. VC,
THE SLICE veered off the fairway and got lost in the woods. Rockefeller went into it in more detail. See the second frame of wk39 on the floor. I look forward to doing business with you in the future, and better luck next time.

Hey boss, you know, instead of directing VCs et al via "Go thisaway then thataway" type instructs to specific posts as per pre-GPS/pre-internet days, you could just shoot 'em a link? E.g., tqrstories.boards.net/post/2005) Eh?
I think the Bull made it again clear in nixing Encore, that a lot of gatekeeping has more to do with where the reader's at than the writing per se, and which might be the case with my passing. It takes a pretty great cap to remove its audience from the stress and mundanity, the utter pointlessness, of their lives. Savvy? (Damn... Doomey's ghost is impacting my lingo.)

Moo, moo, moo, my bro!
This is doubly true for humor. The Bull has read many a humor piece which left him flat only to wonder - is it the Bull that's the issue? And the answer is distinctly "no". If the cap was, in fact, the shit, it would have shook the Bull (or any other reader) from that jacked up mood. While it could be a decent cap, it's not the best cap if it doesn't do that.

Just got in from chess.com and boy are my eyes tired. Lost about 200 hundred points of elo this weekend. Don't binge chess. The concentration required doesn't translate well to 18 straight hours. Anyhow. I kinda put my family on the back burner whilst I indulged my addiction. I feel like such a lout, but its dopamine I can't do without! Yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yeah! Gotta urge I gotta purge because it's outta control now! Uncontrollable urge I wanna tell you all about. Uncontrollable urge I wanna scream and shout it!
A link you say?

So you do know how to link. Jammin! Yeah, Chess.com (and lichess), pretty addictive. Like to think it helps keep the mind sharp, which is just a rationalization I know. I slipped back a couple hundred points too, before slapping myself and upping the coffee. Maybe we'll meet up sometime, albeit unbeknownst to either of us. Or maybe we already have...

i doubt it... aren't you around 2000? My all time high is 1181. I have beaten some 1500s though. Sometimes you just get lucky in the opening I guess. My mindset has to be pawn hunting, not "I'm gonna trick my opponent into giving up a quick checkmate." But I always seem to slip into that false hope if I play too many games in a row. I liken it to the gambler that can't get up because he needs to keep pressing that damn button (usta be crank back that arm). I do miss the old one-arm bandits, though. Besides, you would have noted my handle, rorschalk69.

No, for all my study (used to play snail-mail correspondence back before computers and the internet, even fancied turning pro before discovering I wasn't anywhere near intelligent enough) I've never broken much past 1700 and can mostly be found in the mid 16's. Usually try to sack a pawn for fast open development. But these gambits stop working at higher levels. Enjoy watching the mid 2000's play, and seeing Alpha zero's games reviewed.
