Reading your blogarticle I think you experienced a much more interesting life than 99% of us. Enjoy the well-deserved rest but I guess you wil quickly find out that in fact others need to catch up with you instead of the other way around.
Anyway I wish you a happy life further whatever you choose. There are definitely also other aspects of life worth exploring.
Nice story and photos, except for the absolute crappy AI teaser, which made me almost not click on it.
You really cannot devalue your article more than by using this kind of crap as an advertisement for it.
Splendid article, thank you! And congrats on clinching the IM title, a great achievement!! You made it!

Appreciate it! And I guess the grass is always greener on the other side as far as lifestyles are concerned.
Judging from thumbnail picture, one might think ...
You could have read an old book by Simon Webb :D
Well done. I hope success in chess through hybrid tournaments becomes possible, making it accessible to more financial levels.
