There is not a single good movie in Netflix' catalogue. Is this intentional?

As we enter the next #bitcoin bull market and are periodically reminded of the FTX disaster, it is good to remember that unless you know where your Bitcoin actually is, you may not own any Bitcoin at all.

@GMSokolovIvan I'll never forget watching a famous Ukrainian GM banging his head against the wall outside the playing hall inTilburg after losing to Kasparov..No harm done to others!

Top sport produces excessive adrenaline. Excessive anger (mostly only at yourself), induces not being able to control your immediate emotions/deeds. In such situation you just want to get ' hell out of there'. Probably what Yoo wanted. Punishment is drakonian & hugely excessive!

Whenever I'm asked about cheating in chess, I say the same thing every time: the extent of cheating on the Internet is underestimated, but the real problem is that we have no idea how widespread cheating is in OTB. Perhaps, this high-profile incident will affect the situation.

There is so much dangerous misinformation on this site about every conceivable topic, any responsible owner would be leading the charge to address it...not amplify it. Yet here we are.

The year is 2026. Russia is about to seize Kyiv. Iran just announced it has enough HEU for a nuclear weapon. China is on the precipice of invading Taiwan. Trump walks in the Situation room. Seated around the table are Kash Patel, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, and Richard Grenell.
