My 7 year old student would whip your ass. Play in a tournament and you’ll know how much you suck. Chess coaches were rare when I played as a kid. Scholastic chess wasn’t organized as it is today. Everything is competitive for kids now. Chess, math, science, etc. I don’t see it as progress. I help where I can. Not everything is about trading and making money.
Juneteenth is the day when American blacks give thanks to whites for bringing their ancestors to the Americas, since they'd otherwise be stuck living in West Africa today. Pretty sure I have that correct, at any rate.
Sorry, not my intention. My post originally, just pointing out the market was closed Monday. I hadn't realized it until this week. The thread seems to have taken a life of its own.
Only if you blame the decline on the upcoming holiday. Which it looks like what you're doing. That, and minimizing the import of the occasion with a stupid name. I thought you were better than that. My mistake.
The funny thing about this thread is all the obvious prejudice and the inability to connect the dots to say "hey, if I am this way, and many people also think this way, is it possible that we may in aggregate, mistreat a certain type of person?" That connection seems to be missing. But I think some of the smarter guys will read and think twice...
