I am also a chess demigod!
Bobby Fischer peaked in summer of 1972 at 2785 rating.
Just sayin'.

Sounds like you shouldn't be here, but be earning 34 more points
(although - is there inflation or what? I see many people at 3k+ these days, and assume Bobby Fischer was kinda in his era's top)
Yeah, online ratings aren't worth anything.Sounds like you shouldn't be here, but be earning 34 more points

Too many casual players enter the field, immediately lose most of their starting rating, and then quit (so they never get the points back). Since those lost points are gained by somebody, that tends to slowly inflate the whole field of online ratings.
I'm not bad, though.

I'm playing top board for my club team in a rated match, The Canadian Team vs Team Malaysia. I will allow the game to speak for itself. I'm Black. https://www.chess.com/daily/game/200865884 And that's how I earned the respect of the Yardies!

That "Wow" comment on page 7 is posted by Grandmaster Abhimanyu Mishra, the guy who broke Karjakin's record (and Karjakin had earlier broken Bobby Fischer's record) as youngest International Chess Grandmaster in History. Twelve years old, in his case.
So I impressed a world-famous prodigy, anyway.

The Dwarven Caravan arrives at ourt newly-constructed Trade Center.
Since Caravans refuse to cross traps, the outboard side of our Trade Center is unprotected except for a drawbridge that is normally open but can be raised in emergencies. Or possibly Emugencies. Inboard of our Trade Center (where the Merchants have no business anyway) there is a trapped corridor, places reserved for sniffer dogs to check people walking by, and then a second drawbridge.
We are offering for sale a few cut gems... our industries are just getting into gear... and some beard-watering home cooking.

Top - Lentils
Center Right - Grape Vines.
How do you gather the lentils and beans?
I have run maybe 5 different games and have yet to have a map with grapes or strawberries.
Same as any other wild plant. You just mark the plants themselves for gathering (you can mark out a huge square, and everything in it gets picked). Make sure somebody has the plant gathering labor enabled.
Yes, most plants have a particular harvest season. Typically Summer or Fall.
It looks like the entrance to the corridor is merely inches wide, is that functional or is the corridor temporarily bricked up?
It looks that way but you could could a bus through it. That is the same size as if it was diagonal; however, it it's water or lava the pressure works differently.
Pressure - Dwarf Fortress Wiki
People can get through easily enough, but only one at a time. There's an alcove for chaining up sniffer dogs just beyond the choke-point. The idea is to force anybody entering through that gate to walk past the sniffer dog, in single file.
We will try to impliment a somewhat tighter entry procedure in this fort... recall that in an earlier fort we ended up with Elves (visitors) fighting Goblins (visitors) right inside our Church several levels underground. This time we will impliment entrance controls including FOOT-prints, FINGER-prints, DOG-NOSE-SMELLING prints...

I've been focused on improving the morale of our Dwarves... giving each of them a decent bedroom, improving the dining hall, adding temples for minor Gods...
... we are up to 19 temples, and still counting.
Meanwhile, the Year 2 Caravan has arrived.

Most dwarfs have 3 to 5 gods they pray to. Granted there will be overlap.
