@OwenShroyer1776 Ironically, the skin colours and phenotypes on the bottom poster are closer to modern post-1923 Greek people than those from the 𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘺 poster

This really says it all, doesn't it?

@anishgiri @EndgameaiChess The keyword is "false."

@EndgameaiChess ah ok, anyway, false accusations of AI assistance must be nothing new to you😅🙈

Greetings @anishgiri We are human 🙂

@anishgiri Did he play Kd2 there? How much time was on the clock? If I had 2 seconds, I would have played it to the corner. I am just a very weak player compared to the almighty world champion. How is that possible? 🤔🤯

A lesson for my followers! Go into the corner opposite color of your bishop. It looks scary, but it's okay there.

@grok @krassenstein Follow-up to your reply: In one sentence, yes or no - was Hitler pretending to be socialist? And if the "socialist" label was mostly strategic branding, who today (left, right, or otherwise) do you see using similar rhetoric-to-power tactics?

Hitler and the Nazis used "National Socialist" branding and populist, anti-capitalist rhetoric in the 1920s-early 1930s to appeal to workers and the unemployed during economic crisis, distinguishing it from Marxist international socialism. Once in power, they purged the party's more radical "socialist" faction (Night of the Long Knives), banned trade unions/socialists/communists, and built a state-directed economy that preserved private property for loyal industrialists. The authoritarian and racial supremacist elements weren't a later "turn"—they were foundational. Parallels today are common in politics: rhetoric tailored for mass appeal often diverges from governance. Best to judge leaders by results, not labels.

Hey @grok was Hitler a socialist?

@anishgiri @DanielRensch 🚨They will try to buy Chessmonitor after they discover they cannot compete with you. Don't sell yourself out.

@DanielRensch Oh, you are entering a highly competitive market here, my friend. Best of luck.😅

Sharing that this is actually huge for us — not just because 31 Billion games is f*ing cool 🤣 — but because getting our “backend” sorted with Explorer has taken painfully long in so (too) many ways… BUT now that we’re here, looking to add lots of Analysis tools (better things for coaches, serious players looking to study and build repertoires, databases, etc) in the coming year.

@anishgiri After a million posts about Chessmonitor, you've convinced me to try it out, though. I am really happy about it. I was blown away by the site.

Ok, I am also tired of posting about ChessMonitor, just as you are tired of reading about it. However, I have the duty to inform you, that we are very slowly, but very surely turning it into a perfect website for opening prep. Our Database now updates itself in real time.

@chesscom Chessboard! 🚨💪

phone, tablet, or computer?

@anishgiri PH would be more interested in some other opening file among the other 960 starting positions.

I am ready to sell my Najdorf Candidates files for a lot of Norwegian Krones, or Danish, whichever more convenient. 6.f4 is included in there. cc: PH

@cooltechtipz The second part is essential for the first part to ever happen.

@N023842 @chess_feed 2...Kxa7 =

@chess_feed 1. Rxa7+ Bxa7 2. Nc7#

Black to move, find the checkmate in just 2 moves!

@chess_feed 1. ...Rc7

@FIDE_chess Chess would be the winner.

✨Who will win this chess Jedi battle: 🇺🇿 Sindarov or 🇮🇳 Gukesh? #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsDay #GukeshSindarov

My children are not my genes. My children are my children, and I will do anything for them to have a good life. If you will not do the same for your children, then you’re evil. And if you don’t see that, you’re lost. You’re willing to sacrifice your own children for complete strangers. That’s the reason there is evil in the world.

Red/blue. Only a randomly chosen half of the world population votes, and you are in that half. You get to cast one vote for yourself and one for the random unidentified person assigned to you

@uubzu In that case, I am thinking I will go blue. Letting kids vote anyway does not make much sense but makes the ethical dilemma more spicy. If only adults would vote and their children share their fate, then it's red all the way.

@Selfobserver All the information is included here (I didn’t say anything about children so they will either be randomly assigned to some random stranger or they will get to make the same decision as this)

@pawelk411 @uubzu It's just game theory logic. Red is the optimal choice if everyone chooses for themselves and they are rational agents. If kids get random assignments or are assigned or vote for themselves and are not yet rational agents, everyone who has kids should vote blue.

@Selfobserver @uubzu narcisstic asf, theres 1 in 10 billion chance of your vote being pivotal. you are just killing someones child this way

Make the same question, but your vote would also affect your children (like in real elections). Think hard if it was a real situation, not a virtue-signaling one. Think about what goes against human instinct and that everyone would think the same about their children. What can be a universal moral law, and what is the most rational choice for you and your children? Red is the only rational choice.

This red button/blue button discourse is wild. 100% red saves everyone no consequence 51% of blue saves everyone no consequence 51% red kills all of blue but they frame it like its blues fault they had to kill them even though red is the only choice that causes anyone to die.

Your decision also binds your children, pets, and non-rational family members. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button do you press?

Saying "Alexander the Great is Macedonian, not Greek" is a false dichotomy. That is what is fueling the debate, is like saying the Athenians weren't Greeks, but rather Athenians with Athenian troops. And that is the end of my discussion for me. You are acting as if you are not inconsistent in your words.

@Selfobserver @GlobeEyeNews Dude he was Macedonian his core troops were also Macedonian why argue just for arguments sake just admit you’re wrong

Uganda’s military chief says he checked his DNA, is 14% Greek, and is related to Alexander the Great.
