<2023-03-27T04:17:30.000Z> GabeLakmann@nicecrew.digital: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUTilHcu-_Y some of the stuff this guy got wrong like the fact that the Russians dumped fuel on the drone instead of hitting it but I think the rest is legit and something you'd find interesting
<2023-05-12T03:25:33.000Z> GabeLakmann@nicecrew.digital: Would you want to start a chess tournament or some somewhat regular matches? I've been meaning to mention it to you but haven't had time to be able to play. I played some when I was younger and enjoyed it but I never had the chance to play with people better than I was and learn from them. I bet there are a few people I could learn from on the Fediverse though
<2023-05-12T16:02:19.000Z> theTDC: Yeah sure, why not? Longer time controls (30-90 minutes) preferred.
<2023-05-13T05:33:13.000Z> GabeLakmann@nicecrew.digital: Like as in the match is that long or you have that long to move the piece? I've never played regulation chess and while I did decent with plenty of time to think about my moves and look a several moves into the future I bet I'd get demolished in fast paced chess since I don't have any moves/strategies really memorized. I'm open to learning though
<2023-05-13T15:55:39.000Z> theTDC: Time controls for the entire match. Both sides get, say, 60 minutes to make all their moves, with 30 second increment.
<2023-05-14T04:28:20.000Z> GabeLakmann@nicecrew.digital: Ah, it'd be a steep learning curve but if that is what most people want then I'd give it a try
<2023-05-14T04:29:24.000Z> GabeLakmann@nicecrew.digital: Maybe we could do one match a day and give a breakdown after the match so people can learn from it or something (or after the whole thing)?
<2023-05-14T18:07:58.000Z> theTDC: Yeah sure. Schedule a time.
<2023-05-14T20:04:36.000Z> GabeLakmann@nicecrew.digital: Sometime next week I'll put up a survey and we can gauge interest and figure out good times to do it. If you don't have time to do it yourself then you can just repost my survey since you have a bigger reach than I do. Do you think there are very many people who view your website that don't have a fedi account or follow you on the fediverse? I'm just wondering if you might announce it there as well when we get it all figured out, if you even want to put it up on your website that is.
