Also, on this day in 1995 GM Daniel Naroditsky was born. He was planning on going back to classical chess next year. RIP Danya.

Can’t help but hear Pia Cramling saying that! Shocking!

I loved that video too. Thanks for the tips from Dina!

Sign the Petition Request FIDE ban Vladimir Kramnik, and revoke his titles/norms, per ethics standards.

Kramnik had been accusing Daniel Naroditsky. Baseless, and horrible.

Yes! Dust it off!

If you’re not completely put off chess escape the weird green bird and try Chessly (free to try) I highly highly recommend it

Damn. You did a thing I would do if I had the guts. Ace.

I did not know that!!

It was lovely to meet you, can’t wait to get stuck into Glitterballs!

The keys not advancing carriage sounds like it could be a broken / disconnected / jammed drawband Mentioning it just in case

It’s definitely a strong contender!

I love my alphasmart neo, the same sort of thing that you can pick up on eBay for much much less. But yes and yes again! Anything that disrupts the addiction behaviour.

That’s absolutely not what I said or meant. I’m a trans ally. And I don’t engage in the kind of back and forth you seem to be requesting. Have a nice day!!!

Yes! It works a treat. My breaks tend to be longer. I come back, think, wtf is this world?! And go dark again 😆

They may not be mass produced any more, but there are plenty of us still using them

This is so bonkers and so right at the same time.

I say jitty (from the midlands) down here in Hastings they’re known as twittens. I kid you not!

That set …. Blimey. No!

Get more. Can never have enough

But don’t forget that pawns have a superpower up their sleeve. Just have to reach the other side of the board

A very reliable and sturdy machine! I’m very fond of mine

Would love to see all these irl.

Welcome to the club!! (There’s no escaping)

Absolutely love this!

Crosswords? Pah. I’m learning another new opening. I’m addicted!

The peculiar sewing bee / bake-off chess format is fun. Was excited to see that Lula Robs is taking part and she bloody smashed it this week. Yes it’s all dumbed down but who cares.
