99.9% of the time, I played online poker at night. The prospect of playing poker in the daylight felt unseemly, or even a little bit sordid. I would never feel that way about chess, at any hour of the day. Yesterday, I played some games in the afternoon. Indeed, that was how it was possible for me to be robbed in the daylight :-) What do I mean by that? Simply, that I was robbed of half a point, since I wasn't credited the full point for a game I won on time. The chess.com software informed me that the game had been drawn due to insufficient material, which was patently untrue. It was a perfect escape velocity game, since at the end I had only my king, whereas my opponent had two queens and a king. I lost three games in a row following the robbery.
