Simply not being able to read what you write as you write it makes a difference to the process of writing. (Try it!) It wasn’t the typewriter that changed his style or his thought process. The typewriter allowed him to continue writing but what he wrote as a blind man was different from before
Oh my god. I read the story in the Guardian and as a long time fan of the show I’m in tears. Massive respect and much love.

It’s a weird weird thing having assigned values that don’t get totted up at the end of the game 🤣 But I’d far rather have rooks in an end game than bishops so the values do make sense to me. And it’s nice to sac a rook for an advantage knowing it’s worth 5
I loved this video, but it did make me cry
Also, on this day in 1995 GM Daniel Naroditsky was born. He was planning on going back to classical chess next year. RIP Danya.
Can’t help but hear Pia Cramling saying that! Shocking!
I loved that video too. Thanks for the tips from Dina!
Kramnik had been accusing Daniel Naroditsky. Baseless, and horrible.
Yes! Dust it off!
If you’re not completely put off chess escape the weird green bird and try Chessly (free to try) I highly highly recommend it
Damn. You did a thing I would do if I had the guts. Ace.
I did not know that!!
It was lovely to meet you, can’t wait to get stuck into Glitterballs!
The keys not advancing carriage sounds like it could be a broken / disconnected / jammed drawband Mentioning it just in case
It’s definitely a strong contender!
I love my alphasmart neo, the same sort of thing that you can pick up on eBay for much much less. But yes and yes again! Anything that disrupts the addiction behaviour.
That’s absolutely not what I said or meant. I’m a trans ally. And I don’t engage in the kind of back and forth you seem to be requesting. Have a nice day!!!
Yes! It works a treat. My breaks tend to be longer. I come back, think, wtf is this world?! And go dark again 😆
If men and women think differently it’s because of social conditioning, and expectations etc etc, not because their brains are different or have inherently more or less ability in any given task.
Here’s an interesting read on how this much-quoted misquote came about! quoteinvestigator.com/2011/09/14/w...
They may not be mass produced any more, but there are plenty of us still using them
This is so bonkers and so right at the same time.
I say jitty (from the midlands) down here in Hastings they’re known as twittens. I kid you not!

That set …. Blimey. No!
Get more. Can never have enough
But don’t forget that pawns have a superpower up their sleeve. Just have to reach the other side of the board
A very reliable and sturdy machine! I’m very fond of mine
