Wow, wow, wow, what a performance... Just playing or have studied some "secret" opening?

Today is Student's Day in my country. I remember when I was a student I thought it would be permanent lifestyle, staying forever young, every year I'd visit students party on 17th of November. And you know what? Last 5-10 year never been on this kind of parties. About Student's Day remind me someone else, or the very next day (on 18 of November) I read local news about "how cool students party passed".

p.s. enjoy the moment. It's impossible to live it twice

You share my pain, mate

Lost lots of rapid chess games lately

There was a rumor (misconception) we can damage TV display playing console, especially with games like duck hunting

We with my mates spent a lot of time and money fighting each other in this game.

Counter Strike 1.3 bacame number one game when PC emerged in video game clubs

My teacher of life always told me: Never put in a drawer your ideas.

This is my dream to have a place where I can hanging with my family and friends, listen to nature, plant walnut garden and grill beefsteaks

This boy changed my mind about running and his book was the start point of my investigation about running #846439

When you know how to do it properly you start to get fun

Smothered mate appears when king is surrounded by other pieces or by edge of the board (no way to escape even through a backdoor) and all what can save him - is teleportation.

In your case I'd call it Don Quixote's mate.

btw, today is International Chess Day. Would you like to connect on chesscom? My nim metkram there too

Checked you profile. You play a lot of "high level" openings, and if not you play some dubious openings. I'd recommend you look at Italian or Ponziani Opening if you play for white. It you play for black try Caro–Kann Defence.

With this repertoire you'll easy reach 1k and even more

You're an iron man. It's great to have so strong stomach. Never completed 42'195, it's still my dream. The longest run was 33k and I felt so bad I thought I'm dieing.

I wish you reach your goal next time even it'll be 03:59:59:999

Did you throw up after the race?

All my long runs over 20k had the same finish, all food and water were "escaping" from my body.

What about an average heart rate, why is it so high? Were you training always with 170+?

One of the best part about stacker News - You are chess fun

I really appreciate it

Here's a video comparison of most popular "estimation" devises and lab test.

It says Garmin's estimation works pretty well. I can add that when I was running daily my VO2 max correlated with my endurance. The higher it was the faster and further I could run.

Long time ago people drank this kind of beer

It named after Ukrainian region Chernihiv Approximately 5 years ago have been opened a lot of beer shops all across the country where you can buy some kind of "alive beer" poured in plastic bottles

I'm not a big fan of beer, but I know people who easily can "kill" 5 litters

I never had an apple watch, what about Garmin it's a huge leap from FR230 to Fenix7pro. With both models you can control your music player, Fenix allows your to listen to music from watch (I never use it). What about text messages, there's an option to quick answer from watch if you use Android. You write most common answers in Garmin connect and then use it on watch

I can't say my Garmin Fenix is slow, it runs with my pace

In general I didn't like to wear any things on my body, whatever it were: chains, rings, watches, etc

But as runner you should monitor you pulse during exercises. With smartphone it's extremely inconvenient, that's why in 2017 I decided to acquire Garmin Forerunner 230 and since that time I've lived with smartwatch on my wrist. My smartphone in permanent silent mode. I can run only with smartwatch. I never miss calls and messages (if I don't answer I without of shame ignore this call or message). I can't find my misplaced smartphone. With Fenix I got two extra "must have" features: flashlight and contactless payments.

Any questions? I'll try to answer it
