#bobby cheng

[galaxacious]

Shoutout to my favourite aussie player Bobby Cheng, who finished with an amazing 7/9 in this year's Chess Olympiad. We did decently this year with 45th in the open and 36th in the women's, considering there were 197 teams and Australia isn't particularly known for chess prowess. We're more swimmers and cricketers.

But this year, Bobby Cheng was a stand out player who defeated both English GM David Howell and Ukrainian GM Vasyl Ivanchuk:

In round 3, Cheng played as black against Ivanchuk, who in his heyday was a top 10-20 player and is still an astounding player. They had a drawn position until move 39 where Ivanchuk took what he believed to be a free pawn on c6:

But once Cheng's knight moves to d4, he forks white's bishop and queen. The queen can't move to defend the bishop without being taken and so the bishop is lost. Ivanchuk resigned after the bishop was taken.

In round 5, Cheng played as white against David Howell. The play was even until Howell missed an opportunity to make a check and Cheng took him in the endgame. The game ended soon after an interesting position here:

With white to move, Cheng couldn't take Howell's rook and promote to a queen as that would have left Howell without any moves, resulting in a stalemate. Cheng instead promoted to a knight, giving the black king a check, which allowed the black king to move out of the way of the last white pawn. With a second promotion soon to follow, Howell resigned.

So two excellent wins for Cheng against two very strong grandmasters. Cheng's final score was:

Which adds up to an incredible 7/9 with only one loss in the first round. Ukraine ended up coming 15th in the open and England 20th, so it was a great showing.

(Also a big shoutout to India for sweeping both the open and the womens! Looking forward to seeing Gukesh Dormmaraju play in the World Championship in a few months time.)

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble (2023, Taiwan)

Director, Writer & Creator: Lin Kuan Hui

Mini-review:

I don't know why I put off watching this for so long, cause it's really good. It includes so much stuff that I love: laugh-out-loud comedy, heartbreaking stories, supernatural elements and, most of all, a bunch of characters that burrow their way into your heart. The dynamic they share, specially between Yiyong and Guangyan, is incredibly fun. I feel like I could spend hours and hours watching them doing whatever together. And that's exactly what puts this drama miles ahead of other similarly supernatural-themed stories: the character writing is so damn good that you don't even care about the show's flaws, like the weak CGI. It certainly helps that the entire cast does a fantastic job, with Tseng Jing Hua giving a particularly unforgettable perfomance as the main character. Oh No! Here Comes Trouble is exactly what I needed right now, and I hope we get to see these characters again in the future.

My opinion:

I've read all the reviews, I'm just an Eddie fan blogger, so I absolutely can't give a technical opinion, but I know and know the enormous effort that goes into a show. Critics are critical as they should be, so let's not be influenced by the negative ones. I haven't seen the show in New York and I don't know if I 'll be able to see it, but I saw the one in London which completely enveloped me and immersed me in the 1930s like a vortex. If you go to see the show pls, don't think about the criticism, but listen to your feelings, which are worth much more!

Just Leave a Comment Fest 2023

I was too disorganized to post daily totals but my final overall comment total for the @justleaveacommentfest was: 56

Which, considering how busy my week was, isn’t half bad

Thought I’d make a fic rec list of a few of the fics I read (reread in some cases), loved, and commented on that were on theme for each day of the fest

Day 1: old/new fics

Fandom: All For the Game

Don't Speak Against the Sun by zeffyamethyst

adversus solem ne loquitor.

Sometimes it's not about winning, but how you play. Other times it's about doing whatever it takes to come out on top. Like, literally on top because Sarah enjoys holding Tish down.

The iconic 1st ever aftg fic that inspired Nora to create Laila and Alvarez

Fandom: All For the Game

The Love We Unravel by fullyvisible/ @fullyvisible

Jeremy deserves a comfortable, safe life; Jean knows he can't give it to him - and neither can Kevin. But they don't consider whether Jeremy thinks they're a risk worth taking.

Excellent KereJean angst

Day 2: <2k words

Fandom: Mo Dao Zu Shi

dam wei ying your bobbies by Yuisaki

"Are you even seeing my nipples?"

Lan Zhan's hand is still pressed to Wei Ying's chest. The nipple in question is poking at the center of his palm. Possibly where his lifeline is, which is an unspeakably cruel piece of irony and the fact that kindness is dead in the world. "I see them," says Lan Zhan instead.

At the banquet after the Grand Prix, Lan Zhan measures the circumference of Wei Ying's chest, among other things.

Will never be able to look at donghua!yiling laozhu ever again without thinking of this fic and cackling

Fandom: Six of Crows

honey to taste by alltheworldsinmyhead/ @alltheworldsinmyhead

"She reaches up and rests her hand lightly on the nape of his neck, pulling him towards her.

“Let’s not go anywhere today,” she says. “Write me down in your calendar, Dirtyhands. I’m yours for the weekend.”

Some gorgeously written post-canon Kanej

Day 3: au’s

Fandom: Mo Dao Zu Shi

notes on a rivalry by HeylookGiraffes/ @heylookgiraffes

“Ooo,” he says, turning the stand towards him. “‘Card-bored for cardboard ensemble,’ that’s original. Might as well write a dedication with that title.”

“You’re not even in music,” Jiang Cheng hisses under the background of voices arguing.

Nie Huisang raises an eyebrow and pulls out a French horn. In the front of the room, Wei Wuxian’s voice rises.

“I’ve never seen you use that,” says Jiang Cheng.

“I’m a man of many mysteries.”

Wen Qing turns around. Her rubberband and cereal box guitar creaks ominously in her hands. At her glare, the two of them fall silent just in time to hear Lan Wangji say, cool as a cucumber:

“It is no wonder that Wei Ying never writes for real instruments, since he can barely write for ones of his own creation.”

Nie Huisang looks like Christmas has come early. “This is even better than I imagined.”

Literally the exact modern composers au I was dying to read after I finished the MDZS novels

Fandom: All For The Game

Into The Deep by Fortheloveofexy/ @fortheloveofexy

Neil Josten stares at the large building in front of him, his mouth twisted into a small frown.

Yesterday, Browning had handed him a manila folder containing his new name, his new life. Included in that file had been a note, the same slightly crumpled note he’s holding in his hand now, with the name of his new employer.

Foxhole Aquarium. Ask for David Wymack

Absolutely iconic mer au

Day 4: rarepair/platonic

Fandom: BBC Merlin

The Shoemaker by fleete

Historical magical AU. In turn-of-the-century Glastonbury, Freya Lake is the headmistress of an orphanage for magical children. And despite all the seers’ dire warnings, Freya is happy; her infatuation with the shoemaker’s apprentice—who may or may not be a girl underneath his shirt and trousers—is slowly coming to a head. But then a woman claiming to be Morgan Le Fay shows up on the orphanage steps, demanding to see Emrys, and Freya is forced to rearrange her priorities.

Fun fact: this fic was one of the 1st portrayals of an genderqueer character I ever read and so rereading it years later made me quite unexpectedly emotional and I’m glad I got to fix my crime of having not left a comment on it before

Fandom: Good Omens

Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot by xylodemon/ @xylodemon

In which Crowley starts over. Again, and again, and again

Hilarious and fantastic read

Day 5: try something new

Fandom: Mo Dao Zu Shi

work song (crawl home) by animediac/ @jaywalkers

Jiang Cheng looks at Nie Huaisang curled up on his bunk, covered by a spare set of Yunmeng Jiang robes, and something inside him remembers the stories of soldiers coming home to their lovers.

Chengsang is a ship that never would’ve occurred to me on my own (prob cuz I haven’t watched cql) but if anyone could convert me to it, it would be Róisín and this fic is of course gorgeously written

Fandom: Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

The Pleasure Principle by fluorescentgrey/ @yeats-infection

"You weren't exactly starting from square one on the road to madness."

So I have watched exactly one Black Mirror episode (and it wasn’t this one lol) but Gen is such a talented writer that I would prob love reading even her grocery lists so it’s no surprise I love this fic despite my unfamiliarity with its canon

*

Loved this fest, will continue to comment on fics as I have been doing. Much love to fic writers out there, thank you for sharing all your work and talent <3

The Vampire’s Doctor.[Jiang Cheng x Chen Yuzhi ]

≺⚡️≻ Jiang Cheng doesn't suspect Vampire hunters would follow him into the city; the wounds won't kill him. He hopes the silver bullets in him won't move deeper than they have already. he coughs into his arm, seeing the blood specks. "Ah, shit, who would have guessed right into my lung…." He realized he couldn't heal; his lung was hit or nicked." And the silver is making me heal slower. I need blood fast, or ill die in the fucken ally. 

Jang Cheng walked around to see if there was a shop or an open door." Better than nothing." He sees a small clinic as he un dose his hair; was glad he used bobby pins while kneeling and picking the clinic door as it clicks open." Blood and tweezers." Jiang Cheng walks in as he looks for stuff he needs; he rips open a few packets of medical tools to put out some of the easier bullets. "Ah fuck, let's get this over with.." Jiang Cheng frowns as he uses the tweezers to pick out the deep Bullet in his chest, and he grunts in pain, feeling the tweezers graze the Bullet while blood gushes down his torso.

No. 38 - 2024

Character: Jiang Yanli (Adult ver.) Series: Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

Cosplayer Credits: - Jiang Cheng: ClarinesPrincess - Wei Wuxian: Yolo_Kurama

Photog Credits: - Vampiria Photography Cosplay

==========

Of course, I love me some older sisters dressed in purple. I feel very strongly that if I could get my brother to cosplay Jiang Cheng, he would be perfect. Alas, I have many suitable Jiang Cheng cosplaying friends and even a few Jing Lings that I definitely wanted to be Yanli for. (There needs to be more Yanli; she's too precious.)

==========

Bought the costume, wig, fan, and shoes from AliExpress seller Wong Fu Rong Garment Store. I actually bought her teen-styled wig (which I love) but I restyled it to be more like her adult one (left it braided, but gathered the two bits together in the middle as opposed to the sides and used Bobby pins to part them). I used lotus hair clips instead of gold ones, and my shoes were supposed to be a light purple but showed up WHITE, so I custom dyed them! I'm very happy with how they came out. You can see my WIP progress here!

I've owned my bunny soup bowl for eons, but I bought my Jin Ling baby doll and swaddle from Amazon!

I really like her Q outfit, which is a bit more ambiguous, so I might make that later on!
