I actually prefer him much more than gothamchess.

He's an IM rated around 2300, but he explains in a way everybody can understand, and takes players of all levels seriously. If he gets matched with a 500 ELO player, he takes them with the same attitude as a 2,000 rated player. He usually doesn't end games early, so he can explain things fully.

Queen's back! You miss me?~

Happy to see you guys are enjoying VPP though, maybe we'll see more back and forths?~
I'm not too educated in checkers and chess and stuff like that, though it reminds me how my boyfriend's recently been learning mahjong and shogi and how I've got no clue what's going on there, but it seems like he's enjoying it.

Very hungry currently! Waiting for my food to arrive after ordering... an amount of food I will not state, haha.

Was away yesterday since I had some not so great stuff to get through, but I think it's better at this point. I've spent most of today talking with friends and realized I hadn't popped in yet today, so I wanted to say yahallo and steal some wins.~

Hope you're doing well too.

@Aisaka it was actually that brief conversation we had which entirely ignited my interest back into chess.

Since then my points have doubled and I've become way better as a player. I hope one day when the covid situation ends to join a group on my campus

What kind of food?

Just wasn't the same without you. I hope everything works out.

Oh that's sweet! Glad to hear that could motivate you back into it. Let me know how that goes!

That's really sweet of you, thank you. It's likely another dip into a depressive phase, but I'm happy I got all my important work out of the way before it hit, and it shouldn't be too bad since I'm better at handling it all now. It's usually a rough transition that smooths out over time.

Of course we missed the Queen! 👸

Tbh - you never heard me say this ok - but there's more to life than VPP :)

I post here because I enjoy it, VPP is an awesome bonus though! You ever thought raising the cute little things?

I used to play chess but it became boring and stopped being enjoyable for me. I do still play random chess sometimes, when my brain allows, but I'm not quite as sharp as I used to be. It is wonderful seeing so many here enjoy it though, its an awesome game!

I won't ask about your bad stuff, but I'm sending virtual hugs your way, and I hope it everything is back to normal for you soon as 😊

Just remember, we're all here for you too. If you need someone to talk to.

Good reasons to post all the same, since I'm not really into VPP I just post cause I enjoy it and people are cool. I've thought about it before but I'm not sure how manageable it would be for me, I'm not... great with keeping on top of that sort of thing, haha.

No worries, I don't mind talking about it on the surface level. I appreciate that a lot though, and I'm sure things will be perfectly alright. Thanks Ash. <3

😊

I'm not the world most scintillating conversationalist, and I'm certainly not the quickest replier, but my PMs are always open if you ever need anything, and I'm sure many others here will say the same :)

You have literally out grinded like 20,000 people 😅

I think a lot of people get swept up in the rush to "do it all" in VPP, and it can definitely seem daunting because of that. The best course of action is actually to take it casually and enjoy it. If I'm already making posts anyway, then why not collect cute little friends along the way? :)

VPP seems so fun now, I don't even know how long it's been around. When I was on the social media team I don't even remember it existing. Also you guys seem so dedicated to it and put so much effort into the entire thing, it's admirable.

i have a somewhat addictive personality so that explains why i'm so into it atm and invade literally every thread i see where i can contribute. i'm glad there's others now who are as invested as i am, because it felt so lonely the first few months hehe.

I can't classify myself as addictive, but actually very competitive and I try to be good at everything.

It's why chess, even as a hobby turned into "Must be 1,000 points".

i was pretty competitive back in the day myself. i guess i've just been disappointed again and again since a good bunch of my friend circle was way better than me at literally everything i tried to get into. FPS games, chess, basketball, badminton, table tennis, etc. it always put me down.

If you recall I made a thread in off topic about being intelligent. That was actually because I was upset that I wasn't improving fast enough. I don't know anybody into chess so I can't play over the board, until I join a club or something.

but yeah never been too great at sports. I even broke my wrist learning to roller skate

best of luck! hope you find a good club that helps you improve :D

i was sort of ok at physical sports like basketball, but i couldn't handle full court running for more than 10 minutes, so i would always get gassed out right away. i was happy being a reserve shooting random three pointers from the sideline lol. sorry about your wrist though, an experience like that would've definitely put me off from roller skating for a while.

Yeeeah the competitive side of me also thinks "What if I get so good at chess now I join the club as the best player". But I try to remember the goal should always be improvement and fun, not winning everything.

Oh for sure. I can't even bike for more than 10 minutes without feeling tired. It's funny because I'm relatively healthy weight, more on the slim side. It's just that doing that kind of physical exercise after not doing it for a while is difficult. Broken bones are not fun. I'm just glad that every time I've fractured something it's been arm related, not leg.

dang i wish i had that level of confidence lol. with the amount of bikes you have i was assuming you biked regularly, like once a day or something? also, goodness how many times have you snapped your arm? i'm lucky to not have suffered something like that yet...

I was biking multiple times a day, but the weather got snowy and icy, after that it's been unbearably cold. Some of it was just lack of motivation, but more so the weather. I had one major arm fracture aside from my wrist, but I snapped two bones in one time. Amusingly, it was a regular fall. I just landed in a terrible way.
