What do the #chesspunks think of Freestyle / 960 / Fischer Random chess? Seems intriguing! Never played since I’ve got enough issues with the original position πŸ˜‚

I tend towards studying and sitting too long with a tactic. I have today off, and I’ll use it play some blitz to just PLAY the game πŸ˜‚ Chess therapy of a different sort…

I keep trying to orient to β€œthe process is the goal” and the β€œrating is a stop along the way.” Much easier said than done! It’s straight tough to make that mental switch, but that’s part of the work too! Choosing our thoughts wisely. So, keep going!
