so i’m like midway through a game rn and my opp just like ‘let me think’ for, idfk, literally 2 hours. then they come back and do the dumbest possible move… bc obviously the whole time i was like ‘oh right i can fork this queen or whatever lol’. but no! they take forever then choose the worst defense?? am i the only one who is this annoyed by that, yknow?? it’s like watching a person ignore your entire monologue and then reply with ‘um here is a baguette’ in an acting group but chess version smh ???

imo, people dont give enough credit to endgames in chess. like, i know its not as flashy as some crazy opening combo, but being able to convert a small advantage into a win is such a key part of the game. anyone else feel like this??
