Last night I went to bed at 9:45, fell asleep quickly, got up once during the night, got up again at 5:45 to go to the bathroom, finally getting up at 6:15.
I got checkmated by ONEIPAMETATO1452 lowering my rating 11
points to 1577. ☹
I left at 7:30 and took a Didi for 20,700 pesos to Unicentro
mall arriving 5 minutes before the doors opened.
I took a seat at our usual table and Jose arrived a few
minutes later. We each had an egg casserole and a latte for breakfast. I told
Jose about our raffle winnings and my meeting with Juan Carlos. I informed him
I’m planning on playing in the Flower Faire chess tournament in August but
instead of running back and forth every day I’m going to rent a hotel room
nearby.
We moved to the food court and to make a long story short I lost
both games to Jose.
It was only 2:30 as I took a Didi for 16,000 pesos to Viva
Envigado. (As we reached Envigado we continued in a light drizzle.)
I had the granola with yogurt, chia berries and fruit and a
small latte in Pergamino. In the future I’ll try to remember not to sit
in the back where the ceiling fans are as they dry out my eyes.
I texted IM Juan Carlos I wasn’t expecting private lessons
like we did before but I would like some advice of what to work on. He
suggested I do Laszlo Polgar’s chess problem.
That’s the book I have that’s 1,104 pages long and weights
half a ton. Well, maybe a little less than that but it’s not going to be fun to
lug around.
I left at 4pm, bought 8 ripe tomatoes in Exito and walked to
MT’s apt. I called Teresa, she came out and we returned to the apt by taxi.
BOOK
I watched the news on CNN & MSNBC about the Trump trial.
