After a jaw dropping disastrous series of losses or forfeits in the last 21 games spanning the last five months, my rating fell like a bear market! Just look at the graphical indication. I totally distanced myself from GameKnot. I just was not there. Not physically, not mentally.The good news is that my chess playing had been rekindled through the use of a mobile phone chess app. It really helps that I get to play on the go. Indeed, now I am able to keep connected to my ongoing games with friends or opponents from overseas, via this nifty platform. Alas, we are now liberated from the boundaries of distance and timing.
I can only keep up with one ongoing game on Gameknot now, and would probably not resume the previous regularrity on GameKnot anytime soon.
Here's the latest game from GameKnot with an American, with some comprehensive and interesting shifts of focals and an inevitably devastating skewer (as illustrated in Quantum Quietus) that won the mid game. Like soccer, when you win the midfield, you win the game...

For those who found significance in the name of the match: It was influenced by a manga which I finished reading two months ago. When I named the game, I didn't know I was white (L) or playing black (Kira). Hence, in this particular game of chess, L triumphed over Kira... just like he did in the movie version.
