Chess Magic Or Favor
I won five Chess games in a row on 5th May 2020. It is Cinco de Mayo, or a special FREEDOM DAY in Mexican history. Although I may have become addicted to CHESS during the global SARS-COV-2 pandemic and shutdown, I am a rather average player, and I ought not to have won. Especially against Edith, who a day ago was much more highly rated as a player (Stats on the site: www.ChressTempo.com). My handle is Deonils001. I also got 500 points bonus for these 5 straight wins on Cinco de Mayo. I don't know what they mean, or what I might do with my bonus points in Chess.
Now, I may consider the games I ought to have lost, minor miracles or the favor of God. I apologize for strict biblical Christians who may be aghast at hearing this. But each game I was doing badly - usually because I blundered or moved too fast - yet when I said aloud to myself: "I have the favor of God; that's my private miracles," I did win. Go figure ...
Also, finally, I wrote a poem in 4 stanzas on this moments ago and lost it, because my internet froze. Hence this effort at prose since the poem is gone forever into cyberspace. I am reminded what I tell audiences or congregations I speak to: God is interested in your details, your life's details, because He is a personal God. We have a relationship with God or Jesus, we do not have a religion." My total wins since May 2nd (3 days) are 14 of 21 games, with two 5-win streaks. You may wish to check it out on www.ChessTempo.com, where games may be reviewed and followed move-by-move, for my blunders and unlikely victories. But for Favor and Chess Magic! Incidentally, EDITH is a bot or ROBOT player.
