I've been playing with Claude Code for the past two weeks, in large part thanks to you. Great fun
there is some salty language so I won't translate the post verbatim, but it's a photo of a stand-alone shed for a vehicle in St. Petersburg, Russia. July 2021. The door of the garage is open and a man sits with his arms spread below a dangling light bulb. There is a chessboard on a table before him, and it appears two other men sitting across from each other at the board. A chess clock is on the table. The poster writes she asked politely if she could take their picture. they complained that people keep bothering them asking to take their picture. they ask if she has any money. she says no. they tell her to go to hell (approximately). end scene https://x.com/lilydavay/status/1419738972411121668
I don't mean to detract in any way from Peter's warm, thoughtful and personal reflection on the Russian chess school, but for me, there is a tweet that I will never be able to forget and I want to save it here on bsky in case it's eventually deleted. Just a lovely shot, story, mood. SPB
Wake up chess world, new video by Peter Svidler has dropped! 🔥🔥🔥
He walks us through the early history, grassroots, his experience at the Botvinnik school, his take on Dvoretsky's books and more 👌
Always a delight to hear @polborta.bsky.social talk about anything.

wish I were joking but I just saw the final two sections are "the players" (the deceased and the funeral home) and "the takeaway"
horrors of the world and chill?
just saw an obit with section headers "the details" and "why it matters"
I know this isn't the time for jokes, but also it is precisely the time for jokes
