Saturday Afternoon Chess Thread 06-08-2019
WIM Maria Florencia Fernández
As always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment. And Moviegique's movie thread will be up later up this evening.
Easier Problem - White To Play (994) Goal: White can force a mate in 4
Hint: Neither White's first move, nor the second, is a check
1rbk2B1/p2p4/3p1Npp/1p2p3/4P3/3P4/PPn3PP/5R1K w - - 0 1

(h/t to many morons who brought this to my attention)
More Challenging Problem - White To Play (995) There are a number of ways for White to win from this position. Which line is the fastest? Goal: Queen the h pawn, don't trade it for the knight
Hint: Lure the knight away

2.Bh7 Bb7 This is almost a random move. There is no defense for what follows: 3.Bxg6+ Kd8

4.Ke2 ends Black's counterplay and now White's h-pawn cannot be stopped.
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 paste it into your chess app. ___________ So that about wraps it up for this week. Chess thread tips, suggestions, bribes, rumors, threats, and insults may be sent to my yahoo address: OregonMuse little-a-in-a-circle yahoo dott com.

Death Strandning, which I have mentioned here several times, finally has a release date and a release date trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu8X7vM3Avw
Inter-dimensional time traveling fetus babies. Nothing about this game seems to make any sense, but it's clearly about death in some sort of broad sense. The scenes from World War 1 seems to be taking place in some kind of purgatory or hell. Much of the game looks to be pathfinding and obstacle puzzle solving.

Hard for Mexico to do MORE on that front. It's already the top buyer of yellow corn from Midwest states that voted for Trump

And as for Koch bros., just the most open and active about the idiocy of no border/no immigration rule of law. The electorate as a whole tolerates it. The GOP more than tolerates it - still.
When you have even Ted Cruz doing the tactically idiotic thing over tariffs [couldn't keep his mouth shut for a week, when he knows it's poker and OUR hand depends on him keeping his boring reservations to himself], even though sectors in his own state are over-run, not much reason for optimism overall.

I had so much fun watching all the pretty fashion pics of Melania this week. From the first orange London print silk dress to the end. Melania often goes full vavavoom eleganza on Europe trips to Italy or France, as a former model should. Show macrons wife and the others how to do it properly. But I loved how everything for the British leg of the trip was crisp, elegant, regal, yet a wee bit demure. Except the white dress above, which had a bit more edge. She has looked stunningly chic the whole trip. And the d-day stuff looked beautiful but respectful.
I also enjoyed seeing the clothes of the trump entourage! Some good dresses there. I do miss Hope Hicks, she was a style goddess. I did wonder what she would have worn to the big formal eve with the queen. Left is doing their best right now to get her into prison stripes or orange.

Funny story....
Our daughter is adopted from China. When she was about 4-5yrs old, her favorite color was pink. Everyone called the girl pinky or pink. We were out shopping and i said to her, c'mon. I started to say child at the same time as I said Pink and it got all scrambled up and came out ... "c,Mon chink." The lady standing a few feet away looked over, realized my girl was asian, and glared at me like I was the worst person in the world. I just laughed, pick the child up and said come on pinky!
I don't really give a crooked fuck what some outrage addict thinks.

After 1. h5.
1 ... Nd7 2. Nxd7 Kxd7 and pawn on h6 queens.
1. ... Nh7 2. Nxh7 and white N can escape
1. ... Ng6 2. hxg6 and Black can stop h pawn but he's down a N.
Black can only trade N at the expense of the h-pawn queening otherwise he loses the N and White wins easily.

83 So if you're playing Black, is it your intention to keep the knight on f8?
I looked at the goal, which says to Queen the h-pawn but in the case that Black trades Knights, he queens. In the other two cases he is at least up a Knight.
Looking again it appears that the h-pawn cannot be stopped in any of the 3 lines where Black moves the N.

I almost took off the tip of my left forefinger last year. The nail stopped the knife. It took 7 stitches to re-attach it. My son gave me a pair of these for Christmas.

I was wrong here. The pawn on f7 is in the way of the King. So the h-pawn queens in all cases.

(And I thought I was AT the farm !)
So, I get back in the car and go down the road, and I find the farm. Only its not a farm its a NUTHOUSE !
There must have been over ONE HUNDRED No Parking signs.
Perhaps, someone could have put up a sign telling me where I COULD park !

Ouch! Your injury was way worse than mine. No stitches for me, they just had to put a tourniquet on it to stop the bleeding and then fill with Dermabond. It doesn't even hurt now, and I'm convinced it's because I kept ice on it for three hours when I was trying to stop the bleeding.
As for the glove, guess what - I have one in a box in my pantry. I'm not so smart, am I.

In his financial disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics in mid-May, Buttigieg reported that he and his "husband" have between $110,000 and $265,000 in student loan debt.

In the US the President is both head of government and head of state. In many countries these roles are divided. Many parliamentary systems have a PM as head of government and a president as head of state.
The Queen is head of state. She represents the UK to the outside world but she does not govern.

Authorities say a Louisiana sheriff's deputy filmed a mother performing a sex act on her 1-year-old boy.
News outlets report St. Gabriel Police arrested Shaderick Jones on Friday on multiple charges including principal to first-degree rape.
The boy's mother was arrested Saturday on a charge of first-degree rape and incest. According to WAFB-TV, she told investigators she was coerced into performing the sex act because Jones had a traffic arrest warrant against her.

My younger brother is an commercial/education industry insurance claims exec. He has been following this case closely (Oberlin is not a client of his.)
His opinion is that Oberlin could not have handled this thing, from start to finish, any more poorly. Again, his opinion, is that they are going to get drilled - deservedly so. Both in the punitive portion of the trial and by their ins carrier (Lexington). He stated Lex will most likely drop them as a client and they will have to seek ins in the (very) high risk carrier market if they can get coverage at all.

I grew up thinking that Omar Sharif was the go-to guy to play Arabs, but that was his first movie too. He was in Egyptian soap operas.
Gah! I love that movie. (Although we're up to the disappointing bits. I'd rather have started when he was a insouciant map reader). I point it out to my kids all the time as an example of a good special effects movie.

But yeah Oberlin's insurance carrier is going 'no we won't pay.'
They have like an $880 million endowment. But all Oberlin uses is the income from it which is about $40 million a year.
Now factor in no insurance coverage. And the jury decides to tack on another $22 million. That is suddenly a $33 million hole in the budget. To cover that shortfall Oberlin either raids the endowment, raises tuition. or begs the alumni to step up.
Except an appeal to the alumni to be successful is kinda doubtful after the college sent out that missive on the case saying they did nothing wrong even though the jury just found they did. Raiding the endowment of capital will reduce future income. And raising tuition lowers how many can attend.
So Oberlin is facing a bunch of hard choices because they never entertained the thought they could lose.
