Just caught up on the Dr Lupo chess cheating scandal and my oh my. Such a shame. And such a fool to think you won't get caught.

Yes, chess can make you feel stupid. Losing at chess sucks. But there is NEVER an excuse to cheat.

It's something I am also struggling with personally, I can feel my attention span shortening and I have to be so careful with it πŸ™ƒ

Have been enjoying the change of pace watching freestyle / chess960.

Sparks so much more curiosity in me than standard chess right now!

My brain has been feeling really lazy when it comes to puzzles lately. Just trying stuff rather than actually working it out to the end.

Anyone else had this and found a way through/change that worked?

Panel One:
A scientist works at a blackboard. Diagrams and text on the blackboard contain the phrases: crushing darkness, seemingly no escape, time drags and, inhospitably cold. A second figure approaches and, seeing the blackboard, asks "Black Holes?"

Panel Two:
The scientist replies "January"
