korean food and kpop are the two pillars of korea's marketing strategy

south korea does a very similar thing!

and also 1500 on lichess

ya girl made 1000 blitz on chess dot com

working on gitting gud (lichess blitz rating)

lichess - less glitch than chess. com for me

it's reassuring that I've picked chess back up and I still have the same hilarious main weakness that I did as a kid - I call it "bishop blindness"

the optimal amount of bot activity is not zero (but might be a very small number)

you want a fun party where the guests gathering around to admire and discuss the curious automaton, not a party where people struggle to talk to each other over the whirring of robotics

I hope everyone is having as nice a day as possible under your circumstances

Except when finality, heavy with care
Demands it.
Then the poem will end.
Anyone can do it

Anyone can do it
Anyone can be a poet
All you have to do is study more
Read poets of yore, see every refrain
And stress and strain knowing what they're all for
Til the words on the page and the sounds in the air
Trace musical beauty with every beat
And rhymes evoke patterns that never repeat

Anyone can do it
Anyone can be a poet
All you have to do is keep showing up
Day after day, to put words after words
Onto page after page
Until book after book is filled
With poems that you willed
Would be better than the last
Even when they devastate you
Every time they are not.
Anyone can do it

Anyone can do it
Anyone can be a poet
All you have to do is show up
Put words to page and write until
A poem appears
That's it.
Anyone can do it

I played like 230 games of chess in the last 5 days do I have a problem or
