@PravidD @GMAlexColovic Isn't it just a World Cup joke, though?

@GMAlexColovic He also never played 1.b3, what's your point? That is like saying chemistry is less good that physics because Einstein "never" used chemistry. Kasparov used the tools the suited him, as do many players.

It is not for nothing that Garry Kasparov never played the French Defence.

Wait they really added a downvote button? This is going to be a worse disaster than any of the other changes, even elonbucks and downranking links.

@JamesSurowiecki Best explanation I can imagine is that they want to limit the value of promos that require 3-leg parlays, etc.
English
A two-leg parlay with England winning and Bellingham scoring offers better odds than a three-leg parlay with Bellingham scoring, England winning, and total goals in the game over 1.5. How does that make mathematical sense?
English
played it twice, fired an even par 54 — one ace (holes are 30-50 yards), one birdie, 4 sad bogeys, tough putt putt greens. Fun.

What’s the course record here in Kennebunkport?

@danheisman I occasionally pick up an extra piece against the Duolingo bot in a similar way.
English
J15 99% of the time when someone Attacks with something Worth Less (the common/important concept AWL: youtube.com/watch?v=GxQ_3S… ), move the piece. Counterattack is often dangerous; seen at our club last night in a similar position: ...Bg4?? #ChessTip #Chess #chesspunks #chessdojo

@kibitzingpatzer With some mate in 2 compositions, that doesn't help. But there aren't any checks where the checking piece can't be captured immediately here, anyway. And the follow-up is not a check (perhaps that's your point, but it's not like one can play the first move without seeing it).
English
White to move and win!
The first move is obvious, please show your work.🧐

Hero has lots of outs to beat two-pair on the river, but how many?

@NealBruceBC Perhaps 1 bxa5+ Kxa5 2 Nxe5 Rxf2 3 Kxf2 dxe5 4 c7 Ne7 5 d6 etc.?
White's best continuation? 🤔
Please provide at least 5 moves from both sides. 🗒️✍️

@MarchandSurgery Not literally, since there's gravity. Graphic is quite poor, too. But 5/pi meters is right.

Yea, I can't get my mind around this. If you add 10m of rope to a tight rope around a baseball or a tight rope around the earth, both of them will rise 1.59m off the surface if in a perfect circle. Can't understand it.

"bureaucratocracy"
That's it. That's what it is!
Greg Lukianoff@glukianoff
But remember the bad guys of Europe’s past were authoritarian, invasive, and centralized for BAD reasons, whereas today’s bureaucratocracy is motivated by hugs and puppies.

@sgodofsk I would think Ukraine would have to be Gaza to make the analogy work.
English
When it comes to Ukraine, we understand the garrison eats first. When it comes to Gaza, however, for some reason everyone pretends that "aid convoys" are doing something other than helping Hamas remain in power.

India, through diplomatic channels, has appealed to Ukraine with a request not to strike a tanker carrying 50,000 tons of gasoline for Russia, since this gasoline is humanitarian cargo related to an approaching famine in Russia. Sure, send us the coordinates 🤙

@kibitzingpatzer Is it unique after 1 Bf8 Qg1+ 2 Ka2 Qxg6 3 Bxg7 Qxg7 (where I'd like 4 Qf5)?

White to move.
Can you find the brilliant shot that wins‼️

In your view, how unethical is the following action:
A famous critic says about a product:
“Quite possibly the best [X].” -SJ
Then the creator of the thing quotes this in their marketing, but clips off the first part of the quote, saying exactly:
“…the best [X]” - SJ

So far in the Global Cup...
🇫🇷 France:
- 5 wins
- 0 losses
- 2 goals against
🇪🇸 Spain:
- 4 wins
- 0 losses
- 0 goals against
Are they on a collision course for the Final?
