      @@skylimitua I think this makes sense if what you're eating would be normally eaten with a metal fork or spoon. For example ice cream taste testers often use gold plated spoons because gold doesn't create a metallic taste like normal metal cutlery which would change/muddy/influence flavor profiles. So eating with wooden or plastic chopsticks would mean little to no additional flavor from metal to the food you're eating. It could also be a placebo which have been proven to work in many instances.

      @@Buffalo_Soldier ​ @Rafiz Because after rook takes d4, white would take rook #1 on d4, with their rook, instead of taking the one on d8 with bishop. After that point, black COULD just move the rook on d8, but the better move is to take on d4 with the knight so that there are no rooks left on the board.
      That scenario would end up with black having knight and 6 pawns, white would have bishop and 5.

Meaning that's 11.5 years of straight chess. Levy is 25 years old. Say you spend 8hrs a night sleeping so that 75k hours sleeping in 25 years or thats 8.5 years of sleep, so levy has spend 16.5 of his 25 years awake.

Sometimes when I watch Hikaru play versus other good players, he makes the game look easier and then I int my score.
