Endgame of the Week (579) White to move. Is his one-pawn advantage enough to win? If so, how? Hint: Deflect the bishop at the opportune time

2.e6+ Qxe6 If instead Black tries to run for with 2...Ke8 then 3.d7+ Ke7 4.dxc8=N+ Ke8 5.Bxc6# 3.Nc5+ Kd8 Or 3...Ke8 4.d7+ Kd8 5.Nxe6+ Ke7 6.dxc8=N+ Ke8 7.Bxc6# 4.Nxe6+ Kd7

2.d6 Bc6 Black has now got his bishop where he wants, guarding d7 and a8. But... 3.Bd7!! A killer move that will give White time to advance his pawn. 4...Bxd7 4.a5 h4 Futile for Black is 4...Bc6 5.a6 h4 6.a7 h3 7.d7 Bxd7 8.a8=Q 5.a6 h3
6.a7 Bc6
7.a8=Q! Not good is 7.d7? h2 8.d8=Q+ Kc2 and White is in serious trouble, i.e. 9.Qb8 h1=Q+ 10.Ka2 Qd5+ 11.Ka1 Qd4+ 12.Ka2 Qa4# 7...Bxa8
8.d7 Ke3
9.d8=Q Bg2
10.Qf6 and wins Black's king is cut off from his pawn and rook. White can now bring his king up and trap it on either the edge of the board or against his own pieces, 10...Ke4 11.Kb2 Kd5 12.Qf4 Kc5 13.Kc3 Kd5 14.Qf5+ Kd6 15.Kd4, etc. Hope to see you all next week!
___________ Note: that cryptic line of letters and numbers you see underneath each board diagram is a representation of the position in what is known as "Forsyth-Edwards Notation", or F.E.N. It's actually readable by humans. Most computer applications nowadays can read FEN, so those of you who may want to study the position, you can copy the line of FEN and paste into your chess app and it should automatically recreate the position on its display board. Or, Windows users can just "triple click" on it and the entire line will be highlighted so you can copy and past it into your chess app. ___________ So that about wraps it up for this week.

The good thing about PDT is that he's not been terrorized into silence by the Left. Once they could just recite the incantation "racist, sexist, homophobe" and people would shut up. The spell is being broken by Trump. No wonder the Left has gone crazy.

OK I successfully deleted Office-365 (Office 2016) and it no longer opens under that if I click directly on the file. It now opens in Open Office. if I call up Excel 2000 first I can still open the Excel file instead of the Obt file that OO uses. But it is easier to make shortcuts that open the file directly with the assigned program.

The gaming review industry has learnt NOTHING from the last time they were called on their corruption, except to slander gamers for complaining. So, it is still corrupt; retracting critical reviews when a developer whines about a bad review they deserve.

I don't think it's Nazis. I think it's from the Chinese. High heels give the illusion that women's feet are smaller, which is an aesthetic from the Chinese.
Even in elementary school they taught us that Cinderella probably originated as a Chinese fable, because one of the proofs that the step-sisters were "evil" was that their feet were too big to fit into the lost glass slipper.

The title of that work is Ladies at Longchamp 1908.
There are a few different uses of the word "Longchamp", but I think this one is the Paris racecourse.

I think that's absolutely right. People are learning not to let the left screech them into silence, & Trump deserves a great deal of the credit!
I think people are starting to think, if he can't be bullied, why should I let myself be?
RE: 1908 women photos
I think those are some Edward VII girls. There was a group of them called "The Souls" who hung out with him. "All I know about The Souls is that they all have beautiful bodies," it was said.
1908 would be right down the middle of the plate for Edward VII, and I note the wasp waists, which is consistent.

1908? Nah, he was a settled in old man by then. He burned his way around, when he was younger. I think none of that occurred after he was crowned.
His wife, Alexandria, was drop dead gorgeous herself, by the way.

I'm pretty sure I saw the same damn photo in a bio of Edward VII.
What u said isn't entirely inconsistent-- Eddie's girlfriends came from all backgrounds.
By 1908, he was very fat & would die in 2 years, though. These ladies would be more his style circa 1900.
Posted by: mnw at September 23, 2017 05:51 PM (eXZrW)
But the endgame is tricky. I can only swing by for a minute, but it all comes down to half a tempo.
First of all, the d-pawn has to start running immedieatley, because 1. ... Kxd4 is an immediate draw.
So...1.d5
Now, the onyl way for black to stop the pawn is 1....B-b7.
But then if 2. d6, black goes 2. ... B-c6! And the black saves the draw by half a tempo after either 3. d7 or 3 a5 (no tiem to type out the moves.)
So the only trick I can see is 2. Bg2!!, hoping for a discovered/passed pawn sneak attack after d7. So black must go 3. ...Bc8, and only THEN go 4. a5! and both passed pawns will overburden the black bishop, and king can't catch them.
That's all I got.
Posted by: zombie at September 23, 2017 05:51 PM (DQ4Fv)
1...Rd1+ 2.Kf2 Ne4+
Problem 2.
1.Nc2 traps the queen
Problem 3.
1.e6+ Nxe6 2.Rxe6 Qxe6 3.Nc5+
Problem 4.
Hmm. White is a rook up but has big problems around h2. I guess the solution starts with 1.Re8+ Bf8 2.Rxf8+ Kxf8. Now maybe 3.Nf5+ Kg8. I don't know.
Endgames are my downfall. I'd play 1.d5 and hope for the best. I don't like 1.Bf1+ because it means giving up one of my pawns.

According to Churchill's memoirs, it wasn't very secret.

No, what I mean is, it's ok for a prince and heir to the throne to be catting around, chasing skirts. Kings, not so much.
So... if after he became king he wanted to find some strange, they were going to have to be very discreet.
And besides, he was 60 years old when he was coronated. He was fat and wheezy and old. Maybe he still liked new ladies in his life. He just wasn't prowling around looking for it.

But Indians (dot) DO believe in a lot of woo-woo.
The first time I ever heard of the term "woo-woo" was listening to an interfaith podcast including atheist Michael Shermer, and Deepak Chopra. Chopra was talking all this mystical nonsense about quantum entanglement which proves human interconnectedness, and Shermer said "That's woo-woo!" and Chopra said "No! Dat is not woo-woo!"

Rush made a great point about this last week. When he was working for the KC Royals, they were out in Scottsdale for a marketing gathering.
He said a sociologist from Harvard was there to speak to the group, and told them something he never forgot: Sports is the only avenue in which one can invest TOTAL PASSION without suffering any ill consequences (as opposed to, say a lover, whom might reject you).
Anyway, to your point, if fans now suffer ill consequences from their favorite teams as we're seeing currently -- they will no longer be your fans.

NFL itself points to fact that a fan can now watch his/her team's games on the 'Net 24/7. Rush pointed out that it used to be if you were a Steelers fan living anywhere but Pittsburgh, you only had one or two chances a season to see your team play & that was on broadcast TV.

This is a curious phenomenon. Curry, Obama, Krapperdick, Susan Rice, etc. They all "identify" as black. And they are full of resentment. It's almost as if they were racists in the sense that they are white supremacists and are bitter that they aren't fully white. I really wonder what is going on inside these people's heads.

I admit, I have about zero tolerance for "the world's ending next week!!" fundamentalism. Even JESUS HIMSELF said he doesn't know when the end is coming, so these "Christians" are basically putting themselves ABOVE Christ when they claim to know when it's all going down.

No comment on the ethnicity as I'm Irish (useless), English (beat up on the Irish, civil war of the ego), and Scottish (probably useless, I've never heard of anything Scottish outside of that Wildling chick, who was in fact pretty hot).
No, I'm commenting about Cervantes. Someone in the book thread recommended some new translation of Don Quixote a couple of years ago so I bought it.
Cervantes hates Quixote. As someone said (I don't know who, but AtC quotes it), "if you don't like your character how do you expect me to?"
So no. Be proud of Goya and Velasquez, but this Cervantes guy is going to have to appear before the disciplinary board and make his case.

It's a knight. There's no way to know where it came from. Looks like she will either block or take that bishop. Then she has a pawn in danger from a black knight. There's the rook trade holding the white Queen in place.

Still scratching my head over whether my line also works. But now I see black has 1. d5 Bb7 2. Bg2!?! Kc4 3. d6 Bc8!! and now it's complicated again:
4. Bc6 Kc5 5. d7 Bxd7 6. Bxd7 Kb4!! and now it's a draw again because by one tempo black cuts off white king from the pawn, then pushes his on h=pawn to lure the bishop away, then Kxa4 draw.

Worth a book thread discussion some time, I'm sure.
I didn't get what was being satirized. Quixote had pretensions at nobility but was not in fact noble. I just felt that Cervantes was rubbing the poor sap's nose in his own patheticness.
I probably read about 100 pages before I stopped waiting for it to be something else. I could try it again if it's a thing the book people want to talk about.
(Heck, I read that stupid, stupid Hound of the Baskervilles for ace and then he didn't read it himself. No, I'm not bitter).
