I just got in a situation of rook v.s. bishop+knight.

I now know why people prefer the latter in such a scenario...

I remember playing with Integrand one time and the first word he/she said to me if I recall correctly was: hehe
I have a theory that people good at maths that play chess will be good at chess not sure if it's true

Sure I'll be free later this arvo most likely for a few on lichess. How strong are you btw?

Also theres some overlap between the part of the brain used in maths and chess respectively imo, but its hard to draw conclusions. The average mathematician who tries his hand at chess tends to do better than the average person overall in my experience (moreso than the converse statement).

Idk around 700 JCL so maybe 1200-1400 FIDE just guessing since I haven't played much recently

Sweet, will host up in a sec. 15+10 or thereabouts seem decent? or would you prefer something else?
