i hadn’t eaten for like 20 hours and thought chompsland was meant as “someone who is easily excitable and goofy” (like chomps) then after i ate looked back at my message and thought “well. great.”

I enjoy the idea of somebody who is perfect in every way but then one day randomly & accidentally & permanently becomes a racist

First rapid game in eons, Roy Lopez and I won :)

fun fact! Despite being one of the standard openers most people see, I don’t actually know it that well to know the strategies of how to counter it or play it besides things I’ve sponged from eons ago. I spent a little bit on most moves just to think about what to do, for example here, the computer likes the bishop to stay targeting their pawn but I choose to route it in front of the pawn chain in order to try to dismantle it

Here I was stumped a little bit as it’s a scary move imo, but I realized that the rook who defends the bishop will be staring at their weak pawn, which once taken my bishop and rook stares at another pawn, even though my pawn is hanging, the computer finds a way to give weight a +1 advantage but I think it’s more complicated that it seems for humans and there’s still some attacking and defending chances. But the opponent choose to take and go into the line I calculated instead of what the computer suggested

and my plan of attacking the pawn chain to give me center control worked :)

and the last ditch effort by my opponent to defend its position was crushed by the might pawn, attempting to deflect the queen away from defending the pawn that it needs to and the opponent resigned

Second game, I wanted to play the Vienna gambit but I realized I shouldn’t with this high of a rating, ime most people around this rating know how to at least play the first couple moves to give them an advantage against it and so I was just going to play a Vienna game, then I thought about it and the dude wasn’t even at 2k so I went fuck it, Vienna gambit, and he fell for it, was in a good position and just ended up winning when bringing their queen.

Unfortunate, hopefully the player learns how to play against the vienna gambit in the future

…third game, white pieces. Another Vienna. Except this time the opponent played into what is called the “copycat variation” where they repeat your starting moves

If you know what you are doing as black, it’s not like, game losing, but people at this rating who play into the copy cat variation almost certainly do not know what they are doing, because after this move, they play

which is losing, due to the knight move

this might seem scary, but after the queen takes your king just moves left and there’s no actual threat from black while you are threatening a lot of things, one of which is to trap the queen…they resigned after this move. Vienna is inflating my elo rn.

Fourth game, draw

Didn’t know how to play against this. Got bad position and held on. Brain dead now

interesting

public bathrooms in my dreams generally have like

the stall walls are like. always low af like prob barely clearing the toilet seat? idk exactly cause dreams but theyre comfortably seeable over and its like an actual relevant feature of the dream generally in that its making me nervous or uncomfortable and having difficulty using them LMAO. on the occasions theyre not quite like that the stall functions nonsensically badly in some other way

i had a dream the night before last where i specifically used the mens bathroom (at a mall after like. a lady led me on a long trip across the mall to go to the bathroom after they were closing before i left? there was a bunch of people there using the bathroom before it closed? also a teenaged boy in the stall next to me gave me some kind of advice? weird dream LMAO) and it made me think again about if this was a Gender thing

i’ve been playing a game called forestrike
i really really like it

loss, same opening I struggled against when I drew, knew my position was terrible so just did a hail marry, no dice

my win streak has been ruined by me not knowing how to counter an opening. So, I think I can raise my elo more by learning more openings. I mean I already knew this but still

In the game I drew the opponent failed to punish me multiple times
