In Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) for #acbes2026, and surely a few others are around. Posting the breakfast since I will run riot through any restaurant and coffeeshop in the area. Local pastries will be reviewed, out-of-subfield musings on labor costs and exchange rates are inevitable.
Went to a chess event today and took on one of the greats - WGM Jennifer Shahade in a simul and got the win!
I am on some academic-only sites whose target audience is PhD holding producers of new research. I have begun recieving poorly targeted spam by lawyers offering to review my profile for immigration. I invite speculation on why they are expecting higher ROI on ads to PhDs now.
Your #chess Master friend mouse slips Rb2 at roughly 2:30am at a holiday party in another time zone. You are currently 0.5-14.5 over month(+) long correspondence games. Do you give them the takeback or give them the screws knowing you'll likely not get another chance untill 2048?
