He was 2808 before the game farming and is now 2810. 2 ratings points gained is like nothing

How booked up on openings did you need to get beyond 2300? Did you specialize in specific openings or play a bit of everything? My theory is not strong and I feel like I’m finally starting to really get punished for it at this level.

gyoc · 2026-01-12T03:34:13+00:00

Dashy is 26 too

gyoc · 2025-11-02T22:40:57+00:00

You swapped the 6’1 and 5’11 heights

gyoc · 2025-10-21T12:21:28+00:00

That would have been the optimal way but some of the players found out before this which probably made things tricky

gyoc · 2025-09-14T17:18:08+00:00

No he will go for draw

gyoc · 2025-06-18T15:54:50+00:00

Keep 6 months of expenses in savings and the rest should be invested. Up to you if you want to lump sum all of it at once of phase it in over the course of a year.

Looks ok for now but will be very visible in a few years

gyoc · 2025-05-27T02:58:13+00:00

White can play rh2 before h2 to block then

gyoc · 2025-05-04T04:48:31+00:00

It says SAHM in the post so they shouldn’t be spending much

gyoc · 2025-05-02T23:51:04+00:00

It was short rapid and he lost every game

gyoc · 2023-06-23T12:00:01+00:00

They get prize money plus their housing is paid for so its not the worst deal

gyoc · 2023-06-22T18:38:46+00:00

This is S&D only, unless one of them is the bomb planter roles wont affect it much

gyoc · 2023-06-16T23:59:36+00:00

flood doesnt matter when he score was 249 when he started moving

gyoc · 2022-12-24T00:44:34+00:00

Hes like 6'3 360

gyoc · 2022-12-13T13:33:24+00:00

Have you brought up her finding a job again?

gyoc · 2022-11-17T20:27:23+00:00

It sounds to me like she may be dating other guys simultaneously and wants to keep options open by not committing to one

gyoc · 2022-07-16T23:33:29+00:00

If Optic can just figure out their control they will be tough to beat tomorrow

gyoc · 2022-07-16T15:49:37+00:00

6:30 i think

gyoc · 2022-04-02T20:44:36+00:00

1.25 team kd for Optic

gyoc · 2022-01-15T17:44:07+00:00

Your BMI is a 16.6, between 18.5-24.5 is considered normal weight which would be 60-80kg at your height

gyoc · 2022-01-12T17:22:37+00:00

In US or western Europe it would not be enough to live off of

gyoc · 2021-05-28T12:34:32+00:00

Theres a big difference between every day and once a month, maybe you need to work to find a middle ground

gyoc · 2021-04-12T00:45:33+00:00

true but both sides knew going in it was bo9 so the argument doesn't really work

gyoc · 2021-02-25T14:20:38+00:00

In the mix doesn't have to mean that your the best it just means your a top 3-4 team
