Mosquito County Chess

Playing chess in the heart of Florida. The hot, sticky, bug-infested, malarial heart of Florida

@ChrisBirdIA @ChessProblem Time to check the World Open....

[Mosquito County Chess @SkeeterChess]

@TUUR1 @dgriffinchess @GMjtis Thank you!

[Mosquito County Chess @SkeeterChess]

@dgriffinchess @GMjtis And yes, I remember you mentioned one that was even worse a few days ago!

[Mosquito County Chess @SkeeterChess]

@dgriffinchess @GMjtis This might be the one. King Rex needs to fund one of these!

@dgriffinchess @GMjtis I was thinking about that. At first I thought, "No, the event is too short." But with this weird scoring system it's quite likely if he starts playing like Magnus of old.

@WizZifnab @GrandZeroGaming Incidentally, Key West to Pensacola is currently listed as a 14h 20m drive. Texas is a lot bigger overall, but Florida is long.

@WizZifnab @GrandZeroGaming I once did an eight hour drive in California that crossed two mountain ranges, a spur off one of them, went through three major valleys, was in several different climates, never drove the same road both ways, and never left Kern County.

@dgriffinchess @chess24com Yeah, she's a strong & experienced GM, and it's old stuff. Howell really makes me miss just about any other commentator.

@GMAlexColovic The person most spoiled is Magnus.

[Mosquito County Chess @SkeeterChess]

@TheQuietPath26 @GMAlexColovic He's not playing enough classical, which means he and his team aren't prepping enough. That last is a full time job these days. Add to that new fatherhood and age.

One can win a lot of fast games in the endgame. People just stop paying attention.

[Mosquito County Chess @SkeeterChess]

@AAMortazavi @anishgiri It's all these time controls. Every tournament seems set on coming up with something more ridiculous. I'm pretty sure Norway Chess is winning in that regard.

@chemist62116 @RiddledRobots @BenjaminDEKR And the failure had nothing to do with the rocket regardless.

@PU51_RUB @BenjaminDEKR @MarhinDeMosr The Saturn V did not fail during any of those missions.

[Mosquito County Chess @SkeeterChess]

@PU51_RUB @BenjaminDEKR @MarhinDeMosr Saturn V was the name of the rocket. Apollo was the name of the missions.
