So that’s for the Kinmen run that I don’t really want to do… because it’s early in the morning, cold, probably wet, and I’ll just be awake. Oh, well. Christmas Lunch! Thanks Moksha & Patrice!
Forked and outta time!
That was an interesting game. My opponent kept trying to pressure me with an early Queen attack. But I played a tight game for the most part. Only taking pieces when I had a clear advantage. Still I lost one or two by surprise. But my opponent gradually ran out of time after I opened…
Always Run with Lights But I Lost Mine!

Not this year. Maybe 2026? You?

I managed to do some but I had just got a bike and ridden it for 3minutes when the heavens opened. No, it wasn’t the 2nd coming coming (or even the first) but the rain was surprisingly heavy.

Tamsui Vietnamese
