Newfound Love

February 2020 - At some point I really wanna head back to NYC and play some chess at Washington Square Park.

Sup, been a minute. I might set a rule for myself that I have to post at least once a month - whether I’ll stick to it is another story. Anyway, what’s new?

I started learning chess. A friend of mine told me to watch The Queen's Gambit on Netflix which of course I ended up binge watching within a day. I definitely didn’t think that my life would be taken over by it but here I am with YouTube recommendations of best chess openings and 6 checkmate patterns you must know. 

This is exactly like the time another friend of mine back in Chicago told me to watch Death Note. At the time I didn’t think I would like it that much but once I watched the first episode I was hooked (I’m sure many of you know how much anime I watch these days). It’s funny looking back and seeing how big of an impact this little suggestion had on my life - I can’t compare the tv show recommendation to it just yet but I think it’ll get there too.

Besides that not much has changed. I can’t go to the gym at the moment due to certain difficulties so I think I might have to start running again. Only problem is I kinda hate it - but it’s better than doing no physical activity at all so it’ll have to do.

That’s all folks. Stay safe.
