  Seeing a chess master with decades of experience basically "restart" in chess is the MOST valuable teaching content I've seen since I started studying chess. Thank you for being so transparent in your learning journey on your way to GM.

  I haven’t played in a very long time. A very good refresher course. A friend has been asking me to play.

  hikaru likes a lot this set up, he usually put both bishops at b2 and g2 and then plays a3 and h3

  There was one guy you said you were blocking temporarily. Don&apos;t forget to unblock him if it was really meant to be temporary. <br><br>It&apos;s really unfortunate that you have to be so vigilant to the point of borderline paranoia, but it is a real problem And when you are spending a significant amount of time on each game, it becomes a huge waste of time if you aren&apos;t playing legitimate games.
