Hello mates.
I have been playing chess like crazy today.
Lots and lots of chess games.
The quality of the games was not particularly good, but never mind.
You know there is a saying that I slightly adjust.
“Life is like a wheel. your fortunes change all the time, sometimes you’re up and sometimes down.
The most important thing is to stay on the wheel”
So I stay on the wheel.
I hope that my cognition in the future will be better than today.
(In fact I hope for a cure).
I will exercise today, running and strength.
Rowing is more intense than running but my arms don’t hold up.
I will take a month off and then try rowing again.
I had some bad times with my daughter last night, so I’m a bit down today. Also I don’t feel very well physically so that contributes to the down mood. @Erez_Shmerling thanks for asking though. I hope you have a lovely day.
I’m doing OK, could be better, but could be worse. I’m not sure if I’m starting to go into a mixed mood state or not. I’m incredibly restless yet I have no energy. It’s driving me crazy.
I’m glad to hear you’re doing ok.
I’m very tired today, and I’ll be even more tired tomorrow, plus a friend got mad at me and I could have needed him to talk to today
It’s great to hear that you’re playing a lot of chess and looking forward to better days!
Random story, I learned to play chess from one of my mother’s boyfriend. He would tell me how the pieces move and then take all my pieces one by one. I was 9 lol, and he was like you need to learn how to play, I can’t go easy on you. So he’d just beat me every time. It got me better than I would have been, though, to his credit. My mother would be like, “it’s just a game, just let her win one” and he was like, “no, she needs to learn how to play for real.” So, that’s the story of how I got decent at chess, at least for some kid in the high crime, urban neighborhoods where chess wasn’t even on the map. I always wanted to learn strategy, though, but I never had the patience to read chess books.
Cheers to chess!
Here’s a nice video of inner city kids learning through chess!
wow! what a beautiful man! with his health problems, his homelessness, his difficulty, yet he still used his subway card to pay for a fare for a stranger’s way home!
Sleep deprived, but I don’t feel that tired. I’ve been feeling a lot of emotions and thinking about the future a lot. I hope I’m not getting manic. At any rate, I’m going to try to get in with my pdoc.
for a noble cause hahahha
