How Crazy Am I?

Hey guys!

I was watching a Gotham Chess video when I thought of posting my best game to him so he can review it. 

However, I was unable to comment on YT due to some technical issues. Chess.com did not allow me to message him.

Now, I'm trying to find a time when he's online, and then I'll challenge him to a game. I'll send my link in the chat and try to play the game as well as possible.

So... 

On a scale of 1 to 100, how crazy am I?

Perhaps a little crazy, but not in an unreasonable way. It's just that your current plan isn't likely to work anytime soon.

Do you know the YT technical reason? It's probably because his comments don't allow links; just submit your game to his "guess the elo" series and see if your game eventually gets selected.

chess.com probably doesn't let you message him because I'm guessing that GothamChess restrictes his messages (as many popular chess streamers do, so they aren't bombarded with messages). Waiting for him to be online doesn't guarantee that he'll coincidentally check your message, or game challenge.

Scale of 1-100 with 100 being crazy, maybe your plan is like a 60? As for as success rate though, it's probably more like a 10; I recommend just reaching his channel the conventional way through guess the elo.

You have a higher chance with YT. Does he give his email? If so, then that'd be your best bet.

I didn't think of that before... Thanks

None of my comments work. Also, he was online when I sent him the challenge.

Maybe he's busy making videos.

I don't know.

Probably.

There is nothing crazy in trying to get in touch online with a guy who has a Youtube channel

"Crazy" would be a good definition if you decided to find out where he lives and come in the night to analyze your best chess game

Great.

Seems like you're another FNaF fan who loves to suggest creeping into people's houses like animatronics creeping into the security office.

If you're not, I'm still not disappointed.

Good idea, though...

What is FNaF?

See, with me it’s just the opposite:

I have a lot of paranoid ideation that he is in league with the Russians and has been moving things around at my house when I am away, pulling strings, and quietly sabotaging all areas of my life from behind the scenes. I wouldn’t even want to play chess with him anymore. I just want MI6 to put a stop to it. That’s enough!

I'm surprised and flattered to see that you're asking me, puny human, anything at all, before consulting ChatGPT or Google.

We don't see people like you every day.

And as for FNaF?

Well...

You should ask the Monday GPT or check the FNaF fanfic here, if you want to know the story: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Desmond_the_Badassest.

It is a franchise with a series of mascot horror games, most of which are set in many different abandoned children's restaurants where you are the night guard, hunted by animatronics possessed by dead children from the 1980s, thinking that their killer is still hanging around.

The link is saying "User doesn't exist" whenever I click on it.

Maybe it's @StudyChess101 ?
