    Monies apart, I really like the tone of this page. It's reassuring to see that a few islands of honesty and dedication remain in this ocean of crap that the internet has become.

    I will eventually contribute slivers of my CPU, once I've read and understood what, how and why.

    Now, I haven't played a good game of chess in a long time, since my favorite opponent died. It my be time enough to get back in the saddle already.

      Lichess has been blowing my mind since 2016. For so many years I'd sleep to the Lichess TV. I remember the first 1 minute tournament I participated in. I was really bad, doing so many random moves...

      Lichess has been blowing my mind since 2016. For so many years I'd sleep to the Lichess TV. I remember the first 1 minute tournament I participated in. I was really bad, doing so many random moves and winning a few games by flagging the opponent.

      It's so motivating to see projects like this succeed (Tildes included).

    Glad to learn about Lichess's statement of integrity. Just listed it on Good Reports.
