6 PM Globex Open: The Knockout Begins

I was thinking about my opponent’s time zone in Azerbaijan, which is 9 hours ahead of EST. If I don’t need to make many moves overnight and instead force the battle into RTH, it’ll be an interesting test of whether he can sustain focus and execution through the fatigue curve.

That said, the country shown is only based on his national identity registration — he could realistically be located anywhere in the world. Which makes it even more interesting, because until the tape starts moving, neither side truly knows what conditions the other is operating under.

I’ll also be getting live updates on his progress throughout the session as my direct competitor, so there’s a possibility I may be able to detect changes in tempo, aggression, inactivity, or fatigue purely through the way his performance evolves intraday.
