@jobavalondon @chesscom I’m going for a wild guess at the Jobava London.

I first saw @wholelottaled 17 years ago. Tonight I had the pleasure of being at their final gig - and it was beautiful. Thank you!

Fantastic tap takeover by @GooseIsland at The Mall in Clifton. Even better to see 312 back in the UK - keep it coming @GooseIslandUK!

Always nice to cross a rating boundary. Even if it is only daily. And even if it only happened because your opponent timed out…

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Everyone’s probably seen this before but earlier a non-chess-playing friend introduced me to this joke problem (white to move). Every move is forced until the solution. I’m not sure I can explain why it’s fascinating, it just is.

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

I’m sure people will tell me blitz rots the brain, but I hit a new high this week - a modest 1018. Fortunately, to keep me grounded, at one point in the game I missed mate in 1.

@Chess_Iceman Bristol!

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Fish restaurants aside, if anyone is wondering, I’m still crap at chess…

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

I’ve not tweeted for ages, but tonight myself and @MrsProle had dinner at @FishersSeafood. It was FANTASTIC - the best seafood I’ve ever had, and brilliant service. You should all go!

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Awful news today. A true legend, the likes of which we’ll not see again. Bowling, Shane.

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Totally agree. https://t.co/KIX8UZQ6Yb

Bielsa leaving Leeds is sad for so many reasons. Sad because it’s over, and for how it ended. But also because maybe I didn’t appreciate it enough while it was happening, and because maybe things won’t ever be quite that good again. Still, it’s only football…right?

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Gutted. Awful decision made by a board with a very short memory. He deserved better. Thank you, Marcelo. #Bielsa

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Oh @TapWaterloo how myself and @MrsProle have missed you! Also, this pint of @FivePointsBrew Railway Porter is delicious!

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Anyway, that’s enough moaning on about chess for a few days, @MrsProle is taking me to London to examine the food and ale situation. We’ll report back.

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

@DrLangstrand @NealBruceBC @chess_vet Sign me up, please!

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Made it to my highest rapid rating. Perhaps focusing on longer games is paying off? That said, much of the credit should go to my last two opponents, who were both kind enough to donate me a bishop.

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Highest rated 15+10 win, 94% accuracy, and my first ever ‘Brilliant’ move. Tomorrow, back to blundering mate in 1.

[InamiableProle @InamiableProle]

Probably my favourite one-liner of all time. Which explains why I torture @MrsProle with it every time an ambulance goes by.
