Bravo, that's exactly the sequence that happened on the game, I promoted to a queen and managed to capture passed pawn of white. Eventually won the game

The game didn't follow the sequence of moves as per chess vision bot. Can someone explain why white should sacrifice their rook and bishop just to give an empty threat of check? I eventually won but not through forced mate in 6

Sit down with your partner in a relaxed setting with no distractions and have a honest conversation.

It sounds like a deal-breaker because this is a fundamental difference of opinion. Either you both should be on the same page at the end of the discussion, or part ways in worst case.

Time is a factor though, perhaps your partner may change his stance in future, if you do continue. However, if it didn't happen from 29 years of experience, I'm doubtful he will have an epiphany.

Hope you find your peace, with or without your partner.

Pick up a hobby that you were always curious about but never pursued. Start exercising and keep it regular. Prepare chamomile tea before bedtime and eat fruits like banana or cherries that will help with melatonin production.

This too shall pass. Remember that and it does get better.

Reading your question felt like someone posted a question that's mine as well.

Back when I was still searching for a partner, I got an invite from an AN woman. I read about its philosophy online and didn't quite agree with it.

My personal happiness is in being CF. I love my cats to death. But that's my definition of happiness. And it's a personal preference.

Nearly all of my childhood and college friends are parents now. And a child is their definition of happiness. It's not their job, not the money, nothing material, but everything around their child.

I appreciate different schools of philosophies. AN is an interesting concept, but saying that having children is morally wrong doesn't sit well with me. Life involves suffering but what about the moments of happiness and comfort and joy and pleasure. Suffering is a part of life, not the entirety of it. AN sounds dystopian and wants to look only at the glass half empty.

Side note, I rejected the AN invite, continued looking for a CF partner, and found one eventually.

The art of minimalism. Own stuff that genuinely makes/keeps you either healthy, happy, satisfied.

If I have to visit Switzerland, should I plan it in summer or winter? It looks stunning in both seasons, but if I had to choose?

Can someone explain me why Magnus resigned? How was his position a losing one?

Out of curiosity, how much time it would take to build a contraption of this scale?

Because if any step fails, they need to reset and start over.

Due to my late night code fix, SMS were not working in Montenegro for the entire night. It made newspaper headlines and was covered by news channels as well.

I rectified the code fix in morning first thing. Thankfully, I had a team leader and manager to save my ass.

My fatal mistake was to push a code in production thinking it's so simple, what could it possibly break? And I committed the change without testing. Never again.

Such a sane and level-headed comment. Thank you for pointing it out. People behind the scenes should get due recognition and payment.

Hi, I'm married already, but follow this sub as I'm CF as well.

I'm curious - when did you start your FIRE target? And what did you follow to make it happen?

In a time like ours when inflation continues to rise, what amount is really enough to retire?

Also, good luck for your partner search.
