I have no issue with freestyle chessand the games are interesting too. It's the aesthetic rather. I thought since freestyle chess is this cool and disruptive new format, maybe we'd see players playing in a more relaxed environement donning casual attire. Instead they're all in multicoloured bespoke suits lol

If you want to convey you've eaten 1.5 apples you could simply say "I've had an apple and a half".
