Year Of 2020

Reconnecting with old Bug Fam friends

playing high quality 30 sec bug vs googa

Something that I really liked about 2020 was how much growth we saw in variants. In the past year, the amount of games played per month has at least doubled for each variant on lichess, and in some variants, the growth has been even larger.

Another thing that I liked seeing was @catask becoming ridiculously strong in new variants. While he did pick up zh and bug in 2019, he became so incredibly strong in 2020 not only in zh and bug, but also becoming quite good in atomic and horde as well.

And last, but certainly not least, I loved how IQ_QI trained CrazyAra to play atomic, and am very grateful to him for sharing AtomicAra with me. The rise of neural network engines in variants will be fascinating to watch in 2021 and years to come.

I look forward to seeing how the variants community grows in 2021!

ACWC, HMVC, and new rating highs were my best parts of 2020.

my fav moment

Doing commentary on Jasugi VS opper with JannLee, Mugwort and Yasser.

This year was not so good but still enjoyed the huge time I got for improving my Chess and also enjoyed the cwc between @IM Opperwezen and @NM Jasugi99
For all of these guys, my 2020 passed away fullfilled with fun in home.
Thanks to all.

Joining The House was great but not the best:D
