Ah yes, the final Three Games, Three Tracks post of 2025.

Life's been better overall in recent months. Pretty shocking turnaround. I still feel an impending disaster lurking around the corner but, I'm trying hard to stay locked in in life.

Christmas was really nice and I am so grateful. Spending quality time with my son was great and I managed to get him some decent gifts I believe. Life is always beautiful when he's around.

2026 is merely hours away. Nuts. I'm grateful I'm alive to see another New Year. 2025 was another rollercoaster of a year but, I feel like maybe I am ready for a big year in 2026? Meh.... I'll just keep focused on the tasks at hand. It would be wild to think if life is immensely better this time next year.

Buuuuut yep. Haven't had much time for chess, my latest strategy is to just stay mostly aggressive and play interesting moves. Doing a bit less thinking in an attempt to get a more natural feel.... not even sure if that makes sense LOL. But here's a snazzy looking New Year's picture.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

On to the tunes.

Rottweiler - EsDeekid
Found EsDeekid the other day. A magical moment indeed. Discovering new music is just magnificent.

4 Raws - EsDeeKid Seriously, this guy is a beast. His Liverpool accent, his rapping talent, and the beats are so fresh and addictive.

I feel like EsDeeKid is blowing up a bit here, pretty cool timing to share him in my final chess post of the year.

NICK PROSPER - MIX UP I've been listening to Nick for a bit now. Not a massive fan but I am usually mildly curious to hear his stuff. This newer track surprised me.

My random video of the day is another LosPlug video where they react to the famous YouTube channel Outdoor Boys. TOO FUNNY!

When in doubt, play some chess.

I'll try not to re-share music I've already posted in this series but if I do this series over years, which I very well could, I'll likely forget if I shared a song over time.
