A quote from Angus Walker for the math geniuses among us: " In mathematical terms old age is a condition reached when the rate of your receding hairline is directly proportional to the expansion of your waist ".

There is a good reason why they call him "Creepy Uncle Joe."
For some reason I have all my hair, but my waist line has expanded a bit (just the last 2 years).

One thing most of us old-timers have learned, that most youngsters still don't know: trying to convert other people to our views in politics or religion is a fool's errand. I figure life's too short to waste time on those kinds of un-winable battles. I'd way rather waste time on an un-winable chess game, and it turns out I'm pretty lucky there. I get a Lot of chances to do that. :-)

convert is a strong term, mil, but those that have the ability to think are not so closed-minded.

Keep up the great posts, baden, I like where you're going with this. 😁👍
Don't worry, that sometimes happens even in slower games, where I lose my focus due to life events happening. Sometimes in my case, I forget the analysis I did earlier and still reach for that bad but tempting move. As I often say, I like to play moves that look Tal inspired, but sometimes they are just plain blunders!
