14.08.2025:And without to not mention this, I cannot as well..and reality is reality!Well, here is just another new update, it's non-chess...but it's worth..!!
In short, you won't believe..I saw Vasid Chouhan in my recent dream,We were having a nice conversation during my dream and Vasid said: - I wish Atatürk was with us right now..then I was so touched at that Moments, and he made me very happy..and after that I said to Vasid: - Come closer my dear brother, let's hug...
Then I woke up, I saw that it was just a good dream, But I admit also that it was a indescribable feeling...No words to explain you have to feel it in your heart!
And of course since we've known each other as good friends About 2 decades...I mean, such great dreams are inevitable!
By the way,I told that dream to my wife and as expected ) she got not muchBut a bit jealous..and said: Why only others, what about me?
You see? balance balance..not only in chess..plus in dreams Also should be balance! but sometimes, not all in our hands...Pardon, in our brains !)
Meanwhile (for anyone interested here is Mr Vasid's 1st post):The dream of yours cracked me up—us chatting about Atatürk And hugging it out? Brother, that’s some vivid stuff! Gotta say, It’s wild how dreams can feel so real and pull at the heartstrings Like that.Your wife’s reaction is priceless—tell her she’s gotta Make a guest appearance in next dream, to balance things out!And here is the 2nd post by Vasid: Love your passion for Atatürk! He's truly an immortal hero—defender, peacemaker and visionary.Salute to THE GREAT DEFENDER! Many Thanks to Mr. Vasid!Note: The Immortal Ataturk's Great Words for Opposing Details
12.08.2025: Since today, I focus on good, such as pretending the bad doesn't exist!Yeah..a new powerful effective weapon about 'bad' to disappear, right?You know, the fewer people, the more happiness! E.g if you have fewer People around...then will be much easier to keep the bad people away!And I think that not many would object about..that's why far from bad..Just be more clear, when some 'idiots' are incompetent, mean-spirited,Besides, If they have BIG egos..hmm, then WOW..!! they go crazy with Jealousy..solution? unfortunately no medicine..! here great saying over:The cat calls the liver dirty when it can't reach it! So, from now on instead Of Openchess, I will share all the latest news and results with you here!And probably tomorrow, I hope to start the tour...in case of new entries,All of them will be played in Gauntlet mode..as usual, wishing good luck )For anyone interested/missed, I shared exc. music, many stories Details
