Howdy, its Kolya. Back in 2005 I used to run a professional Halo 2 team called the Snow Ponies Pro and we went to MLG tournaments and represented our sponsors well. I played 3.5 D&D in middle school and 4e a few times since. I ran a City of Mist game last year and I've been using #chess to socialize. I like playing pool and cards. I read tarot and get all spiritual about the act of play and the telling of stories. I fell into the 40k rabbit hole last year and then read 123 books.
chess
En el ajedrez, como en la vida, no hay que rendirse ni en las peores circunstancias. Uno puede mandarse cagadas, perder oportunidades, pero no nos debe ganar la culpa ni la frustración. Podemos quedarnos solos, indefensos, pero las circunstancias pueden cambiar, aunque parezca no haber esperanza. Recordemos que el enemigo también la puede pifiar, aun cuando pensemos que tiene la victoria asegurada. La victoria nunca esta asegurada. Nunca sabemos cómo piensa ni qué siente el otro, pero incluso él puede sucumbir ante la frustración si, por un giro inesperado, una jugada nuestra lo agarra desprevenido, o si por descuido pierde una ficha clave.
La verdadera batalla está en la mente, no en el tablero.

Moved instances, so it's #introduction time once again:
I'm a #screenwriter who's written on Alias, Fringe, Hawaii Five-0 and The Blacklist, among other shows.
I ❤️ animals and have a sanctuary that rescues pigs, goats, cats, dogs and other critters.
Interested in #technology and #privacy.
Trying to suck less at #chess.
And I'm still trying to drag everyone from the hellsite over here. Happy #twittermigration everyone 🖕
I heard Cracking the Cryptic had a "Chess Sudoku" game so rather than engage with that in any way, I invented my own Chess Sudoku game. Each 3×2 minigrid must contain one of each type of chess piece, and no piece may attack any piece of the same type, ignoring anything that's in the way — so, no two rooks in the same row or column, no two bishops on the same diagonal, etc.
(If anyone at #alt4me has any idea how to supply useful alt text for this kind of thing do please let me know)
Not new here but it might be time for a re-#introduction:

My FB feed brought up this memory from 14 years ago!
In a previous life, before I was a #chess coach, I was a fire eater, juggler, comedian, variety performer...
...a lifetime ago.

#introduction Hello, time to start using this site.
I recently moved to #tasmania and hope to share some of the island's beauty as I find it.
I'm spending a weekend away in #Hobart to play #chess, a subject I also hope to post about.
In the meantime, here's the beautiful Tamar #river which I passed today
