Without a doubt, my friend. Luck or the protection of divine providence? Perhaps luck doesn't exist. On the other hand, don't think I've made much progress in chess. Of course, I've had my small achievements based on studying the texts of grandmasters. But nothing special.

It's great that you've been a chess teacher for your children, my eldest granddaughter, and a great catalyst for spreading the game of science. These are already great achievements, as evidenced by the son of one of your students.

Greetings, it's always a pleasure to read from you, @irvinc
