GORILLA FARTS No. 5 – 2025 Edition
MOMBASA MOMBASA!!
Congrats to Garang.
The Gorilla had been off form since beginning 2024. A rather long stretch. Even the farts have been few and far between.
Happy to have shown relatively better chess compared to the last 18 months. A sign of form returning (the game vs Wanyama was promising but a welcome learning lesson), especially in this critical Q4 period.
2132 TPR, joint 2nd, 20 Elos gained. A decent performance.
As for the standard farts, I now have a fanbase. I can let one of them have the last, very pungent fart:
“I see you’ve once again vaporized the Kitale based assassin; a tragic victim of his own pseudo–quick attack KID experiment gone catastrophically wrong. Ever since the 2022 Kenyan Championship, his nightmares still open with your name on move one. Congratulations on reasserting OTB ownership over the “OMO” proponents and also sealing a solid 2100+ TPR over there.” {Editor’s note – the above comments relate the game shown below}
