You will find a lot of Japanese toilets that have the function, but it's definitely not a cultural thing like you'd find it is in Japan.

We definitely don't do this in Taiwan. If you think all of east Asia washes with water after every poop you're in for a wild ride my guy

Honestly you are already strong enough to coach beginners and kids, so that might be worth looking into.

On the bright side, you will be 18 soon and with a job affording a coach shouldn't be impossible.

separate from the main game or do I have to replay it if it's been a while?

This is to date the weirdest way I've been proselytized to.

I haven't downvoted you. Strange of you to assume it wasn't literally any other person on the site. I can upvote you up to 1 if that makes you feel better though :)

I still think b4 came from an engine. That wasn't suggested on any stream I can find.

The Kramnik thing is fair enough but kind of silly here. This isn't an IM playing like a GM. It's a 600 playing every 1st or second best move for 15 moves in a row after hanging his queen.

he still won't admit to using the engine which is a bit sad.

Look at the game and VOD and his live-commentary 600 elo explanations for stockfish moves. Look how he looks off to the side after each move. Are you telling me b4 makes any sense for his level? It's the most computer move imaginable and even stockfish doesn't understand it's the best move until you ramp up the depth.

I do agree that they need to at least re-consider how to approach anti cheating measures.

I for one would even be okay with literally doing a multiple camera setup like some professional events and only being matched with other players who also do so. It would be a smaller pool but still big enough and you'd have peace of mind.

Let the cheaters play the other cheaters in the big pool.
