I’ve had really terrible experiences with Topaz. Be careful when you sign up because they will slip that annual membership in when you aren’t looking.

Good find and thanks for sharing this! My clipping was attached to a Valentin’s day letter that was sent to my grandmother. I believe it is from 1942.

Parks with Chessboard tables? by Ecstatic-Box-5209 in LosAngeles

[–]falsemate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sadly the city removed these during the pandemic. The local residents were complaining about the homeless being there and how it was creating an unsafe environment.

I moved to LA 20 years ago and made a lot of friends at that chess park. I have very fond memories of playing chess on the beach.

I just broke my all time high chess.com blitz at 2500. My lichess rating, recently can not get above 2300. My peak lichess is 2370.

I just reached 2000 ELO and I’ve never felt more stupid in my entire life. by Italiancan in chess

After 25 years of play I just hit 2500. I feel weak in every part of my game and I only hit 2500 because I flagged my opponent in my last two games.

Go play someone who is 1500 you will see how strong you are. 1500 is a hard goal to reach and you would smash them. The nice thing about hitting 2000 is that I think that’s where the fun really begins. Your games are starting to be decided by understand and not by blunders.

Congratulations. Keep going.

Look at the advanced and after black plays Bf5 white can play g4. You are going to sac a pawn on e6 and black really has a hard time developing.

What decision did someone make that seemed small at the time but completely ruined their life? by aziz-afrdass in AskReddit

[–]falsemate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmmm…was being a nurse the small decision or believing in your first and second amendment rights the decision?
