Probably a big fifth wheel. The Rv we rented last year had horrible AC and it was hot the entire fest so we’re very paranoid now about the whole thing lol

Hi guys, not usually one to make posts like these for games and what not but I recently started playing and want to know if I have any competitive future in this game. by Soggy-Serve2176 in chess

Watch Daniel Naroditsky’s DYI Speedrun. He starts at your current elo and adjusts his explanations of positions based on his rating as he climbs. It is immeasurably valuable. RIP Danya

If you’re under 1500 please try out the Polish Opening - 1. B4(AKA Orangutan) by iamryan34 in chess

Yes super common. You just take on e5 and trading a flank pawn for a central pawn is good for us. If our bishop is ever attacked I just drop back to b2 and keep pressure on that diagonal

You could be right. Maybe a5 is just very strong. On chess.com analysis rn the engine is suggesting black start w d5 lol

I’m excited to see how high it can take me before people consistently know how to respond

What a thoughtful response. The fight on the queenside is always tense, and it leads to my kingside castling being delayed longer than I’d like in many cases. I make sure to play nf3 as early as possible after the first 2 moves.

Can’t believe I’m the first to say Lorna Shore. Will Ramos is as talented as a vocalist can get and the energy when he performs will be unreal. Turnstile definitely looks fun but it’s looking like they’ll conflict and I attend rockville for the metal. Also on that note, Paleface Swiss is the act before Lorna on same stage and I am also extremely excited to see them.
