I dont know why grown adults feel the urge to consistently swear on this (or any) platform. I simply turn off or don't engage when they do. There is a beautiful vocabulary out there, use it. We are not neanderthals. Well, most of us aren't. 😉

Starting Out: Queen's Gambit Accepted can lead to some pretty tactics. I played this against an IM today. What would you play for Black?

Carl S. Portman MBE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Just reflecting. I don't want to bang on but receiving the MBE was one of my proudest moments. I am only a council house kid. I wish my mum and grandparents could have seen it because they encouraged me to work hard and try to be good, but above all be myself.

Karpov-Kavalek, Turin 1982. Black has just played 36...Qd6-d5. White traded queens. The World Champion was evidently short of time, but even so, a truly astonishing miss.
