For me, it's patience, which has helped a lot with work and investments. When stuffs don’t go as planned, I’ve learnt to stay calm and not make decisions based on emotion. I really hate losing hence chess is a way to practice that part of me. Share your story, I would like to read more reflections

made by me and loved by me XD (this is made by me not you, so if you want this for whatever reason, you must get that approved by me XD)

day nineI am going to crash out rn So the character is Chad (Sato) and the sexuality is gay/lesbian XDSo for this one, I am going to do only the meaning of gay/homosexualso Homosexual means men attracted to other men, so it is the same sex attraction only I am going to get some bleach, actually, and bleach my own eyes because I really don’t agree with this, but welp, what do you guys think about this

For me, its UNO and its variants as only my school friends know how to play it and no one else I know. Then is chess, people I know may know how pieces move but no one knows proper rules like complete castling rules, en-passant, 50-move rule, threefold repetition, etc except very few. Then for them clock is a odd thing. You all must have at least one such game?

Once I was a figure born in the night.  I emerged from shadows, seeking the light.  Where no one dares to go, I stride  to the beyond, with nothing to hide.  Despite everything, I rise and stand tall.  I become the dream I had when I was small.   here is the second one The pain I felt was a loss of light.  Then I was pushed into the dark, away from all sight.  A secret, untold, is buried deep in my chest.  Yet hope flickers quietly, longing for rest.  Once more, I reach out for the warmth I have known.  But cycles of shadow become my own.  I will never return to the light I once claimed.  The darkness is my refuge, and my soul is now unchained.  I am freed from the shackles that held me so tight.  I drift into the night, far from memory's light. and last but not least, i actually spend the most time on this one The quietest was me.  I was a shadow in the busy tree.  I sat alone, trapped in my own world.  Every other soul felt like a burden.  I built a wall, high and steep.  I kept my secrets in that silence.   Then came a light, a gentle grace.  A friendly smile appeared on their face.  Kindness glowed, tempting and bright.  A pure surface felt like a waking dream.  Deep down, I had a doubt, a quiet whisper.  But I was blinded by the lovely glow.   I held on tightly to that sweet hope,  Ignoring flaws and bitter defeats.  Until the day the truth revealed itself.  A different face showed me a broken world.  I cut the thread with a heavy hand  And left that shore for unknown land.   This time I breathed and looked around.  Laughter echoed on fertile ground.  I dipped my toes into new waters  And let my real self shine through.  No longer trapped by fear’s harsh grip,  I laugh, I live, I feel again.  In the crowd, I find my peace.  I am a happy soul, no longer restrained.

From me it is If your life is merely wake up, eat, work/study(depending if you are student or grown-up), sleep, repeat and nothing, even though you are able to keep yourself alive, your life is worthless. Feel free to share your's

You are not daring anyone actually, to avoid confusion, just telling them

I've been playing 4-player chess a lot this week! The variant is so fun and I cannot stop playing. Now I'm looking for tips or material to improve my game. If you have any channels or audiovisual resources that could help me improve in this variant, I'd love to have access to them

PSYCHO-PASS is definitely on the list. What's your suggestion? Everyone can make one suggestion and I'll add them to this list below: PSYCHO-PASS Dororo Song of Raiyantsuuri Rurouni Kenshin That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

Dare me to do something. 

I'm planning to start OTB chess after crossing 2000 or 2100 on chess.com. Now its only 400-500 points away, so a year or one and a half left. One thing I'm curious is about tournament rounds where can't play. In chess.com if we in right condition to play, we play or else we just done but in OTB we have to play according to the timings of tourneys. My questions are:- About bad health •How to you avoid loss during illness, any way to achieve short draws? Currently online, I just don't play •If for poor health if we withdraw, do we lose points for the rounds we didn't play being counted as loss? About ratings Do I have to grind all my way from 1000 points to 1700-1800(2000 equivalent of chess.com to fide), just having quick wins due to being underrated playing against weaker opponents, or will it be quick to reach our actual rating we should have? Draws and resignation •How can I avoid opponent claiming a draw by having a handshake that pretended to be resignation? •When draw offering or resigning myself, how can I make both these processes clearly different for me? Moves If we submit the scoresheet, then how can we have a record of moves played so we can analyze them at home? Do we have to remember the moves Calling arbiter If our opponent makes illegal moves, misbehaves, refuses handshake, talks during game we may need to call the arbiter for penalty, are we supposed to make a sign, call him/her by speaking, or walk to him/her and tell the matter?

Lets try to get an alien gambit against Gothamchess in his Gothamchess vs World event. Theres a high chance he will play the caro-kann so pls either vote for Nc3 or Nd2 if he does. Thanks >:3
