I'm awful
If you both are awful, then I got the brain of a green bottle fly...
I once had 545 in rapid, but now I'm struggling to stay above 400, but I play for fun, trying to treat every game as a new adventure, knowing I don't have as much talent as for example you two seem to have.
I'm always trying to improve but I can't learn openings due to the medication I have to take for my mental health that clouds my mind and makes calculating near impossible.
