π― The Cast-Iron Tiger: Climbing to "Legend" with One Hand!

Greetings to all chess enthusiasts and my fellow "Angry Tigers" teammates!
Life sometimes throws us into an unexpected "Zugzwang." On March 11th, a sudden injury resulted in a broken right arm. The doctor’s verdict: 3 weeks in a cast.
For many, this would mean a complete break from chess and my favorite PES 2013 matches. But I didn't surrender. As I always say: "No matter how long and dark the night is, the sun will eventually rise to light up the darkness!"
π‘ Injury is not a barrier, but a new opportunity!
Even though my right hand was out of commission, my mind and my left hand were ready for battle. Here are my results after just one week:
The Magic of the Left Hand: In just 3 days, I mastered controlling the mouse with my left hand and even learned to write with it. My brain began forming entirely new neural connections!
Legend League Summit: As of today, March 18th, I am currently ranked #1 in the prestigious Legend League on Chess.com with 708 points! π
Rating Explosion: * Rapid: 1554 (New Personal Best!) π
Blitz: 1655 (Incredible growth!) π₯
Bullet: 1620 (Solid stability!) β‘
π "Brilliant" Victories
This week has been unforgettable. Not only did I execute over 4 Brilliant (!!) moves myself, but I also defeated an opponent who played a "Brilliant" Knight sacrifice (confirmed by Stockfish 18 Lite). Staying calm under that pressure taught me one thing: Even the strongest engine is powerless against human will and patience.
β½ A Tactical Break on the Pitch
While my "Master League" adventures in PES 2013 are on a slight pause, I haven't lost control of my team. My 109-rated Fred and 17-year-old Ronaldo are geared up with new items and boots, waiting for the final whistle. Only 2 weeks left until the cast comes off!
π Conclusion
Friends, if your goal is clear, no cast or injury can stop you. I am stronger now than ever because I've learned to feel chess not just with my hand, but with my whole being.
How high do you think my ratings will go once the cast is removed in 2 weeks? Leave your predictions in the comments!
