My not so usual fitness journey π₯ΉΒ
Spending ~4 months without being able to walk properly made me determined to not only recover but get as healthy and fit as I can be. I now eat well, exercise regularly, walk 10-17k steps daily and never been in this good shape in my life π₯²

I'm 35 today. I used to feel bad about age in case people think "how the heck is she so old" or "how is she not raising kids instead of doing silly streams".
Then I thought to myself, age is just a number, and I'm very happy doing silly things π€£ So yeah, I'm 35 young today π

With all respect, Ian, I fully disagree. There's place for any chess event at any level. Pogchamps in particular has opened the door to so many people who wouldn't watch chess otherwise -- and will now possibly tune in to other chess streams too. That's anything but sad.
With all respect towards
@chesscom
and amount of work they put into promoting chess,
#PogChamps3
as a popcorn stuff is replacing and displacing any real chess content and this is just terrifying.
