If it is as they say: Guns aren't the problem, people are the problem. So why are we letting problems have guns?

I am rewatching old Saint Louis Chess club coverage of the 2014 Sinquefield cup to see younger Carlsen and Caruana go at it. Man, live coverage was so much more interesting before the eval bar. Really interesting to hear Seirawan, Shahade, Finegold discuss the positions with human eyes.

There's way less chess content here than on Twitter, but man no way I'm going back there after the current blatant disrespect towards my country (Canada) from the new power couple of Trump + Musk. No class at all.

I appear to have my first thousand followers here, and Bluesky is now approaching 25 million users, so I am beginning to think, in modern parlance, that maybe this place is really ‘a thing’…

I have been following @gmalexcolovic.bsky.social recommendation of fully completing an ending book, to improve my abilities. I like it and I have been playing some better endgames lately, but I got to ask : do stronger players really look at a position like this and know if it’s winning or not ?
