My brother is a first class grad, Glory to God. My parents really did sacrifice everything to raise us two, it's insane looking back. And they did such a brilliant job of it. We'd give them the whole world and it still won't make up for it. But we'd try.

My first OTB FIDE-rated tournament is officially over. Finished with 2.5/7. Not the result I hoped for, but it's all part of the journey. I met new people, connected with fellow chess players, and finally got to meet some of my mutuals in person. The experience was worth it.

Crafting with colored paper and glittery stuff is actually so therapeutic. Gotta remember that for my next losing streak... ✌️

Black to move. In the game, Black found the best move but missed the follow-up. Can you find both? 🤔
