"Re7e2" is perfectly fine as notation but "R7e2" is already unambiguous, fyi

I think I'm playing in the most boring possible way but I also think that's correct play for me

Yeh I think you’re playing this entirely correctly but god it’s not easy

In hindsight I think Re7 was the mistake that finished me, even if the knight blunder was what put me behind

How many syllables is your username supposed to have? I've been mentally pronouncing it as in French (muh-NAHLK) but seeing your location maybe I should be mentally pronouncing it as in Spanish (may-NAHL-kay) instead?

It’s a french name so you have it almost right! And only off slightly because there should be an accent on the “é” making it more “may-NALK” but I think the boards wouldn’t accept it? Or maybe I just forgot or was worried people here would find it overly pretentious. Which it already kind of is, seeing as it’s a secondary character from the novel L’Immoraliste by André Gide
