Welcome to the world of adult chess
Butt it's not what you think

Oh boy, where do I begin. Let's talk about Elon Musk later. Couple of years back I wrote about how the game of chess comes with free irony. It still does. More than ever.
Competitive chess is even more boring than it sounds. And no the word boring has nothing to do with Elon Musk and his Boring company. Something with holes? Perhaps, butt we'll leave that for later. Magnus Carlsen is one of the best chess players in the world. In tennis he would be Serena Williams, Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. OK I'm kidding, chess is simply not my thing. Carlsen has the highest FIDE rating - your chess IQ - ever. There is no doubt he is much, much smarter than Elon M. My guess his mathematical intellect is on par with that of female African-American mathematicians Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson without whom there probably still wouldn't be a man on the moon.
Despite being the best chess player alive a couple of days ago he lost to 19-year old Hans Niemann three times in a row. Carlsen withdrew himself from the tournament. He later tweeted something football trainer José Mourinho once said: "if I speak I am in big trouble", insinuating his opponent had cheated. But how?
Some suggested a hidden ear piece, others more into spy games concluded his shoes were wired with buzzers to feed him the proper moves morse code style. Somewhere, somehow, someone came up with a variation. What if Mr. Niemann wore a vibrating butt plug? It was meant as a joke but then Elon Musk crashed the party, sub rosa tweeting he believed it was true. Of course Musk subsequently removed his tweet but ever since he picked it up both the chess world and clickbait press are up in arms.
"'Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one can see (cause it’s in ur butt)' – Schopenhauer."
- Elon Muks on Twitter [Tweet since deleted.]
I very much doubt it's true. "Professionals" with inside knowledge of the highly competitive, competitive chess world are now looking at vibrating clothes for clues. For real.
Today's post has very little to do with femdom but if it's true [probably not] it's kinky as hell. It would also mean Hans Niemann has set himself up for the humiliation of the century.
PS, if you've ever seen Brewster's millions, you know how hard it is to
spend 44 billion. Don't know if that's why Elon Musk still hasn't bought Twitter but I'm
working on my very own shopping list. #44: buy abandoned
prison.
Face the music
Not only Mr. Niemann has set himself up for humiliation, accidently I did too. Still tired of the Eighties but Noodgeval by Goldband has such a great retro vibe you just gotta love it.

Goldband - Noodgeval (click to listen) |
Trouwens de naam Goldband (Goudband) komt van de bekende zakken met pleistergips. Hun vaders zijn stucadors. De Langste Nacht is ook een geweldige plaat net als hun nummer over wie is de Bob. Mijn favoriet is toch wel de cover van Frank Boeijen. Zwart-wit bewaar ik nog even voor mijn laatste stukje over het OWK. Taaie kost. En nu weer verder in het Engels.
208
Yep, today is day 208 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and it looks like the tables are turning. And much more dangerous now that the Russian bear feels more cornered than ever. Let's keep on supplying Ukraine with more and better weapons. It's all we can do as "neutral" bystanders.
