@ChessVonDoom I like the quad format

@AnnaCramling Cool bishop sac!

@drrmthomas I went 0-3 with 1 bye in my first OTB 2024 tournament, too! I went 2 W 2D 0 L in the second against lower-rated opponents. My rating was adversely affected, but I had fun, too. I am intrigued at the difference experience of time between on-line USCF play and OTB play.

@itsfoss I like @q4osteam because the Trinity desktop lets me use a couple of pre-sets to get the right look/feel in moments.

[Robert Nunnally @Gurdonark]

@mwicDallas @MixterPlus I am well! On twitter less often. How about you?

@owlonastick @q4osteam Peppermint is still around, thouough it switched to direct Debian. I like the Trinity desktop of Q4OS

Election result denial appears to be oddly related to science denial.

@Mrjimjones71 Looks good!

If Twitter were on the @CornellBirds bird ID site, it would reflect an odd 6-week evolution from "Least Concern" to "Threatened."

@Mrjimjones71 I will miss the sense of knowing dozens of kindred spirits world-wide with similar interests. I will also miss being able to "travel" by searching locations for photos or by searching "visit [name of place]."

@Mrjimjones71 When I was OTB provisional, my rating stayed in the same zone. So I missed the acrobatic thrills of huge rating swings. My rating progress featured less tactics and more slogging--a bit like my game.

[Robert Nunnally @Gurdonark]

@ChessLobster I am lower-rated than you. When I play Qxd5 Scandi, opponents either play unambitious d3 systems or play the gambit. Neither is that hard to face. This is one time that the fairly simple main line, followed by a squeeze on e5, always seems to me to press black the most

[Robert Nunnally @Gurdonark]

@ChessVonDoom Have fun!!

[Robert Nunnally @Gurdonark]

@Lona_Chess @Mrjimjones71 I got a chance to listen to your Rochelle Ballantyne interview over the weekend. Good episode! She made a very impressive guest. It is great that she has achieved so much and kept her chess alive. My law school (and after) chess regimen was[/is] a great deal more haphazard. :)
