This kid made an IM norm last weekend
The punchline here is it turned out the kid was a FIDE Master and I accidentally gave up my chance to beat my first titled player.
I played a kid at my chess club Christmas party tonight, and while he beat me in the 1st game, I had a winning endgame in the second game. His parents were picking him up so I said "Ok, I'll let you off with a draw.", trying to be generous.

The "smart" read on whatever is USA is planning to do in Venezuela is that they are trying to either kill or threaten to kill Canada's oil industry, and I'm really struggling to see forcing us to do something we need to do anyway as a threat.
"The heavy, sour crude that the country [Venezuela] harbours is precisely the type of which American refineries are chronically short, at a time when America’s relations with Canada, a supplier of the stuff, are strained." www.economist.com/finance-and-...
Donald Trump’s great Venezuelan oil gamble
The country has the world’s largest petroleum reserves. Getting them out of the ground will be tortuous

During the second intermission, I thought about posting something like "Sens have 20 minutes to save their season", but I decided against it because I didn't want to be tied down to that level of doomerism if they lost.
But now that they've won: holy shit they needed the fuck out of that W

Evaluating how I did on my 2025 goals, and it was better than it felt at the time.
- Ran a 26:45 5k and a 59:00 10k
- Got a job in Austria
- Learned and performed a 4 hands arrangement of Beethoven's 6th Symphony (1st Mvt.) at a house concert
Sadly my chess fell off this year, though.

If you squint, you can also convince yourself that Amadio and Matinpalo are also at fault for both getting tangled up with 63Blue leaving the trailer free, but Jensen's awareness here is generally...well just look at him.
