In chessy news… The 2025 Champions Chess Tour started today with the Chessable Masters, featuring a faster 10+0 time control. This is the play-in stage.
In OTB today, I won one and lost won against one of the strongest in the club, a 2000. I know exactly where I screwed up in the loss, too. I anticipated his move properly and then doubted myself in what I thought (knew) was the most prudent defense again a knight hop into my side of the board. I had him before that. One move. Just one move….

Maybe you just needed a Holy Chess Set?
Justa: I’m not sure what that would be, other than one that is blessed.
I played, today, as if it were blessed! I had one loss against a 2000 and a crushing win again one of the club’s best and then an amazing escape from mortal danger which I got myself into, using a knight sac to gain activity in a closed game. I won.
