Went 3-2 at Chess Club today, including my first ever victories over Dave and John. John is the current Idaho Senior Chess champion

Posted by crash davis 😺 (aka crash davis) Nov 18 '23, 13:59

John was clearly having an off day as I wen 1-1 against him, but a win is a win.

It is like studying each day for half an hour is better than not studying at all. Who would have thought that?

- Actually John told me today that he feels so old that he relies a lot on pattern recognition, instead of gaming everything out in his mind anymore. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 18, 16:12

        On the Crossword Mysteries I watched last night, Lacey Chabert completed a puzzle in 2 minutes 13 seconds. One day, I too shall do that. - crash davis 😺 Nov 18, 15:21 8

        I've actually seen that, but it has been years and years. That might bear rewatching again soon. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 18, 15:48
        
        With NYT Mini this is extremely achievable. Just don’t say which puzzle. -- nm - VMan Nov 18, 15:36
