You have no idea if I'm any good or not
I did have the other debate you posted to go off of though. Speaking of which I will probably go back and look at it to study your play style. I could describe my own if you want since I have a hint about yours.
You're giving yourself excuses to lose, which is just a confidence issue.
I actually have a lot of confidence in myself but it is tempered by an awareness of my limitations. I will try to enter genius mode though when we play and show you a piece of ingenious insanity as I sometimes do.
It's not a reflection of your general intelligence if you lose.
True, although chess does test some key areas of intelligence such as the ability to think ahead strategically and form a plan. Like I said this is not my main area of talent but I am proficient enough at it.
Bro, if you get a chance, watch as much foreign TV and cinema as possible. It's so much better than the modern American stuff
I definitely will, most of what I watch lately has been anime but I wouldn't mind watching the shows you mentioned and any other good ones.
I don't know if you watch much anime but either way I definitely recommend Death Note, Monster and Golden Boy. Death Note and Monster are designed to make you put on your thinking cap and Golden Boy is just hilarious.
