Hang on, we already knew that... Gambitking's decent at chess - but chemistry test scores... but you wouldn't believe me anyway, so what would the point be? Although, I wouldn't really have any reason to lie to you!

But, I realised something this season on my football club--I've got to really believe the truth, that I have NOTHING TO PROVE--my good friend who was also on the team drilled this into me! So even though I was the goalkeeper and we went out in the playoffs in the first game, I've got to use it as motivation to keep going forward, and quit beating myself up!

Look, I know I'm "BAD" or whatever--that's why I've gotta' make up for the SKILL with pure WILL!


Goalkeepers are said to be a bit crazy. I know because I'm a goalkeeper (Well, I was, but my knee was badly injured and I have to rest...)

What have I learned? Well, my skill improved and rating went up 400 points in 1.5 month, that's enough to say.

Maybe it will bounce back, but still i feel being much stronger than ever.

I learned what I already suspected that Chess Players are pretty much the same on the whole as the rest of mankind.

Add to that the fact that I'm LEFT-HANDED (actually, a bit ambidextrous), and you come to the realization that I'm into some pretty weird stuff...

You heard it here, first, people, THE GAMBIT KING IS CLINICALLY INSANE!

"That boy needs therapy", ha ha!


I'm Left-Handed (completely left-handed), and this does not mean I'm crazy...

Because I'm not crazy, am I?

Does "completely left-handed" mean that you have two left hands?

It means that I normally have trouble when I attempt to do some things with the right hand unless I'm very used to it. My right hand is extremely clumsy compared to my left hand when I'mwriting, painting or doing something in general.

I'll have to drill the short-term tactics and basic endgames of "username interpretation" for a hwile before I can understand the depth of them.

I play Goalie in Soccer and Hockey, I would like to think I'm not crazy.

Well... it's just a topic. There are exceptions, of course. But I don't think I'm one of them, specially in the field. Wink

I appear more crazy in the field than the ice, as in hockey there is more leeway for trash talk and fighting than soccer. But I've only gotten cards a few times in soccer.
