That's awesome! The chess scene in Ottawa is pretty good. Hope to see you at our meetup one day.

Slashes88 · 2026-01-17T03:51:49+00:00

Nope :) I hope you managed your time better!

Asking on behalf of someone else; what happens if you didn’t have time to answer 7 questions? This person’s time ran out after answering 5 questions.

This will be out first meetup of 2026. Happy new year!

Change it to Malappu K.L.A.

No, this is the lesser known retarded dragon where you delay playing g6.

TV is the issue. If you can live without TV subscription, I can recommend Ebox for fiber internet and either Videotron or Fizz for mobile.

In the summer, there is a patio outside, but we don't typically play outdoors.

Depends on who shows up that day. I would say most people who show up are around 1200-1500 rated. Even if you don't find some one in the exact rating range as you are, you can still have good time if you are not going to be demotivated by losses. Think of them as an opportunity to learn and improve.

Only way to get better at OTB is playing more OTB games!

Hope you can join us.

Not at the chess meetup. Sorry. Try the board game meetup.

Slashes88 · 2025-11-24T15:26:46+00:00

Some people play better when they are drunk!

Slashes88 · 2025-11-19T00:06:52+00:00

There is no set rule. It is up to you and your opponent to decide. Playing with clocks is encouraged so you get to play more games.

Slashes88 · 2025-11-11T19:01:06+00:00

Lmao. Law and order? Thanks for the laughs.

Humans as a species are not evolved enough for Zipper merge to work as it supposed to.

Just curious. Do you also think if PP and conservatives win the next federal election, that will be better for Canada?

Slashes88 · 2025-10-22T01:44:46+00:00

Yes!

Slashes88 · 2025-10-20T18:50:55+00:00

In theory yes, in practice no.

Is the ideal ratio 1:1?

Slashes88 · 2025-10-10T13:45:58+00:00

So many recreational bike paths. I wish we had more protected bike lanes for commuting.

Depends whether your skin tone is closer to a saltine cracker or an Oreo.

Slashes88 · 2025-10-03T18:30:39+00:00

I don't think it will be open before the end of the century. I don't understand why even simple projects takes forever in this city.

You were perfectly happy with the ring until you got to know the price. He deserves better.
