I've just been rereading all the General Forum threads from the last decade and I noticed that I forgot to wish everyone a Happy New Year on 1st January 2001 [the first day of the C21st]. Now rectified. Sorry about that. So, what things are different in your life and/or the world around you compared to 7,477 days ago?
@fmf saidtake it to the jokes thread spanky

@fmf saidTwenty years ago life was an adventure and learning to play chess was one of the interesting goals on my agenda. These days, though I've won more games than I've lost, I'm definitely on a slow, downward slope. Time is not my friend.

@divegeester saidYou have ascertained WHY I didn't wish everyone a Happy New Year on 1st January 2001. Thanks. It had been a mystery to me.

@divegeester saidFortunately, your excellent memory has kept your RHP rating safely below 1200.

@handyandy saidIn my case, the low rating is because I keep banging my head on the frames of the round doors in my U-boat.

@fmf saidNot at all, it is just the side of brain that does chess doesn't work well, and you'd rather banter than pick up a book or look at some openings, middle games, and end games.

@very-rusty saidI'm not really interested in online chess. My eyes glaze over when I see a chess board on the computer screen. I snatch moves in order to bring the mental fug to an end. I do, however, enjoy games OTB with my kids or down the pub. I have no plan to ever look at a chess book.

@fmf saidI hope you don't cry when the kids beat you and they will!!!

You obviously are not here to play chess.

@suzianne saidHey! You’re younger than me.
Happy New Year 1971.
I just noticed I forgot to wish everyone a Happy New Year on 1st January 1971.
Now rectified. Sorry about that. I hope no one is traumatized by my failing to notice this failure in etiquette in a year before I was even born.
