I'm still relatively new to chess, so I don't quite have the intuition required for 3|0, and I always thought 5|0 was just a bit too long for it to be worth playing over rapid.
But I'm enjoying this so much, it's like I started playing again for the first time. I love chess man.

We live in a country whose government has armed and facilitated a genocide, involving the most depraved war crimes imaginable.
It's not those bloodstained politicians facing legal assault in the here and now.
It's those opposed to the genocidal extermination of Palestinians.

Oh wait they don't lose the queen because the king can go to g2 or h1 now, silly me. Maybe f3 is the only move for white then but then Ng4 and white's in a spot of bother

Qh4 right? Threatening Ng4... Finding it difficult to see a good move for white, maybe f3? But then Bb6+ and white loses the queen. Yeah maybe black is miraculously better here.

The Greens and Zack Polanski joined the smearing campaign against Corbyn last time. They refused to endorse him when he was on the verge of winning.
Granted, it's a different party now, but if this new party quickly polls higher, the best tactic for the Greens will be to work with them.

This time we won't have an internal campaign undermining them with lies at our doors.
Good luck Tom Watson and co. You'll need it.

I was quite near the front when I reached Whitehall. About 20 minutes after arriving, the end of the march hadn't even reached Holborn, nearly 2 miles away... Insane.

Oh you were there this weekend too?? Just saw your name in the Minor section! After my 4-hour, 68-move epic (in which I somehow drew after exchanging my queen for a rook and knight) on Friday night, I was seriously considering taking Saturday morning off to down as many beers as possible...

It's a big shame not to get that winning feeling at all, but the final draw (against an experienced 1840) felt good.
Performance rating only 1644, so way below my ECF. But with better prep I could've had at least one win and that would've put it much closer.

Honestly so tired of @chess.com doing nothing about blatant cheats. They keep making all this content and whatnot about how they're doing a "great job" but once you get beyond 1800 the amount of obvious cheaters that get away with it is staggering.
