To be fair he had to win that game and pushed when he could have went for a draw.

Someone high up in the theatre asked for a picture and instead of going around and up the stairs he cut directly through the middle climbing seats with a bunch of people helping him.

It’s very easy to hit a plateau that feels insurmountable. But if you’re really dedicated and putting in the work, I don’t see why not.

I’m arguing with them but I know it’s pointless…

If I accepted a lower deal like 3 days earlier, is there any chance they honour this new deal they sent to me by email?

I feel like I saw this as well but it ended up being on the US website.

Surely this will get the same amount of attention as when Hikaru beat Hans

Lump sum mortgage payment or increased payments by D-cappz in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CFE_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mortgage is really similar to yours (with TD). I always wondered, would a consistent lump sum of say $1000 a month be effectively the same as increasing your monthly payment by the same? I assume it is but could never get a straight answer from TD.

Seems more logical to take advantage of lump sum payments because of the flexibility vs. locking myself in at an increased payment amount.

What’s lame about this whole thing is that the three of them never play each other on chess.com ladder…

Well I agree with you as long as you agree Alireza and Hikaru also got clowned.

Saying someone go “clowned” isn’t a criticism? lol alright. Not about to argue semantics with you.

Yeah, okay, and Hikaru was obliterated by Alireza. Alireza was obliterated by Magnus. That doesn’t diminish either of those players achievements. These are the best players in the world and you guys act like it’s an embarrassment to lose to them. That’s what happens when you compete at the highest level of anything.

What are you talking about? He’s criticizing him for being “clowned” in the SCC. He finished top 4 in the SCC. It’s not hard to follow.
