BenjiPortheault you are a fantastic writer!!! I've only discovered you a few minutes ago and after reading this post and the post titled "You are not your Rating," I've already decided to follow you. As someone who has been playing chess for 30 years and has followed the online chess world since 2004, I truly resonate with your candid words and incisive observations. As a poet, I find your words to be pure poetic bliss wrapped up in prose. Keep writing!!!
If we don’t push back now, our blogs will become just another SEO wasteland—where real analysis dies, and algorithms win.
