Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 09-12-2020
IM Karina Szczepkowska (POL)
Beginner Problem - Black To Play (1076) Goal: Black can force mate in 3 moves
Hint: Chase the king out of the corner and mate him on h3
4k3/1p3p2/pqbQp2p/8/4PP2/1P6/1P6/3R3K b - - 0 1
Temptation
Devil: Sacrifice a piece and attack like a berserk crazy man! He won't see the best defense. What are you waiting for? Come on!
Intermediate Problem - White To Play (1049) Goal: White can force mate in 4 moves
Hint: Deal with that pesky rook first
r6r/1ppq1k2/p2Pp3/5N1p/1Pn1nP1P/8/P1PbK1Q1/8 w - - 0 1
Advanced Problem - White To Play (1199) There are many mating lines in this problem. What is the longest one, that is, for how many moves can Black stave off defeat? Hint: Black can hold out for, at most, 6 moves
3qbbk1/1p5p/p1ppP3/P7/2N3BP/2P3R1/3B1P1K/8 w - - 0 1
Dress Pr0n For The 'Ettes:
I love the fashions of the 1830s and equally the 1930s... a century later! 1938-40 black crepe bias evening dress, with a matching black velvet jacket with sequins and metallic braid, in a style I think inspired by the embellished jackets of Schiaparelli. @GoldsteinMuseum pic.twitter.com/OYg2VAxOXW

Today's #ootd is this 1956-7 Normal Norell evening dress. This super sweet dress is typical of Norell- quality tailored silhouettes with a dash a whimsy. He was an American designer whose clothing rivaled French high fashion. @cincyartmuseum #FashionHistory pic.twitter.com/z3BL19ws4f

b) 1...Kf7 2.Rf3+ Kg7 (2...Kg6 3.h5+ Kg7 4.exf8=Q#) 3.exf8=Q+ Kg6 4.h5#
c) 1...Qxe7 2.Be6+ Kh8 3.Rg8# 1...Bg6 blocks off the 'g' file for awhile: 2.exd8=Q h5
3.Be6+ Kg7
4.Rxg6+ Kxg6
5.Qxf8 c5
6.Bf5# So Black can hold for, at most, 6 moves.
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.

Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
John Donne
Thanks for being part of our continent here.

I squinted and read most of the Twitter post, the black screen that was being quoted.
Not only is the campaign terrified of leaks or being hacked; not only are they using de-aging tech on Joe's face in vids; not only is he having good days and bad days with the dementia; but his medicine, the writer says, is making him incontinent. It's why he didn't take questions after announcing Camela as his running mate -- he had to do some running himself, to the bathroom.
Are any of us surprised by any of this?

I clicked on the black screen on the Twitter feed and it opened in larger format in a new tab. But it was still tiny, and ctrl plus + didn't enlarge it. You could Print Screen it and open it in Paint or another video editor, and blow it up, I guess.

I believe that. Rush was hinting at that by saying why is Joe holding these weird pressers with 3 people in circles 20 ft away - it's not normal social distancing. I thought it's because he's incontinent and they don't want anyone close enough to smell it.

He wrote to me after her loss and was happy to note all of the friends that had surrounded him with love and prayers. He also spoke of being prepared for the loss, having what he called a "miraculous" Extra Year with her.
He was a kind, gentle reminder of things that pass in life and how to know when you are blessed.

One thing I learned quickly when I became a caretaker is that considered-safe drugs can have really wild side effects on certain dementia patients, up to and including bodily function effects.
Also, incontinence is pretty much baked into the cake with dementia.

I know. My mother died in late '86. In March '87, as I watched an episode of Moonlighting, it occurred to me that Bruce Willis might make good casting as Rex Stout's Archie Goodwin from the Nero Wolfe novels -- something Mom and I had often discussed.
I swiveled to the phone and actually lifted the receiver before I realized: I couldn't call her any more.
That was when I truly understood that she was gone.

She had dementia and "broke her hip" in her nursing home. We're hearing conflicting stories about what happened. They operated on the hip and the anesthesia tripled down on dementia.

Yes; It is very odd. I just officiated at a graveside service for a man whose mother died at 100. We' were discussing how it suddenly hits you "Now I'm a orphan" no matter what age you are, if you're close to your parents.
I also don't think discussing the death of loved ones is ever self serving on here, as people care about one another.

For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

I don't place too much faith in the tweet, but Biden has changed for the worse over the past year. Plus, he's becoming more bizarrely aggressive. Something is up.
I think the staffer was talking about urinary incontinence, not Biden pooping his pants. Loss of bladder control is a side effect of Namenda and is common at Biden's age.

Right. But with dementia in general, the incontinence starts in the front and does eventually end up in the back too. And jokes aside, Depends don't help a damn bit with *that*.

The guy from the White Stripes does a great traditional version. IIRC it was him in the movie Cold Mountain with the deserters and dodgers performing it.
Some great old-timey songs on that soundtrack. They got the sound right.

Rest in peace, Hank.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let Perpetual Light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

My father died of cancer over 43 years ago. A lifetime has passed since he died. And I don't think a day has gone by that I did not think of him at least once.
My mother died over 10 years ago. At the funeral, my cousin remarked that she thought my Mom would be the first person she knew to live to be 100. She died just after her 89th birthday, from complications and injuries from an auto crash (she was a passenger). Otherwise, she was in good health.
All my aunts, uncles and older relatives have passed. My oldest cousin died of cancer a couple of years ago.
As one of my other cousins said at the funeral, we've now become the older people of the family our parents were.
My oldest sister is 70, and my next oldest sister will be 68 in a few weeks.
Time passes, and death eventually comes for us all. Life is for the living. Enjoy it while it is here.
Good bless you, Wyatt, and I hope your Mother rests easy now. Her race is done, and I hope the most cherished memories are happy ones.
God bless and Godspeed to IBguy and his family.
He will be missed.

Since Saint Michael the Archangel is an RC Saint, you are correct. He taught the prayer to three little shepherd kids, just outside of Fatima Portugal.

In NYC, subways and commuter rails were a huge vector in spreading the Virus in early weeks and why we had an inferno compared to the rest of the country, and part of why POC got hit harder.

My wife and I talked about that the instant we saw it - we believe she chose a piece that was loosely modeled on a British Army Officers Dress Uniform of the 30's and 40's, and I'm sure (although I don't have a photo handy) that something along these lines was what the female members of the British Royal Family would wear in public appearances during WW2. If so, that would mean the symbolism of her choice was devastatingly appropriate.
btw the idiot who claimed she looked like Leni Riefenstahl used black and white photos to do so, because undoubtedly Riefenstahl's pseudo-uniform would have been a shade of light gray. The choice of deep Olive Drab is the symbolic identifier.

The fundamental error of thinking one can affect a prevalent respiratory virus much - in any way - is at the base of every Team Apocalypse, AND most "skeptical", observations. It's one disastrously reinforced by the WH task force to this day.
Blood sample, sewage, and arguably ILI presentations before 1/1/2020 indicate virus was present in North America and Europe nearly a year ago. Horse, barn door, some assembly required.
Differential fatality rates by "race" - like most differentials by "race" - will likely disappear once relevant screens (age, medical condition, multi-generational cohabitation, etc) are applied.
And though definitional problems were already obvious (even Birx mused about 25% excess death count, early on), it is probably much worse than even serious people already assumed. The misuse of the PCR test may well mean that even more "with COVID" deaths are reasonably disallowed or placed in a provisional category than as earlier assumed.

we need to remember that this is because a group of dedicated Co-blogs put in a tremendous amount of volunteer time and effort into that. No other blog that I have seen has anything close. The lack of this is what ruined the Federalists comment section, just for one example, and this is why they were pushed to drop them completely.

I assume Adams like most doesn't really know that much about the region and subsists on a vague generalization about things, that would explain that comment.
Morocco has had a relationship with Israel going back decades - which is not surprising (distant, especially from the dominant and thug states of the eastern Arab world). Would be great but unsurprising if that were finally formalized.

Only things missing from the kit are the 501 pylons and AIM-7 Sparrows for a proper 2,2,2 loadout. And it seems there are no decal sheets for 119th F-16s so will have to make your own.
In 2007 the 119th retired its F-16s though the unit still exists, just no more fighters.

Definitely not impossible. It would also be a sign of an HQ that is disorganized and undisciplined. Plus it says something about the Democrats themselves that such things would be common knowledge and treated like nothingburgers because gotta beat Trump.
He mentions he was in the campaign HQ in Philly, where I would suspect that a lot of high-level work takes place. It would be more of a stretch if he was in some office in the hinterlands. As for disorganization and lack of discipline, I think that has been on display in abundance. Exhibit A- TJ Ducklo. On the whole, everything he says sounds plausible to me.

One of the best reasons to move to Central WA from Seattle is I no longer have moss shingles.
That shit is tough to get rid of.

I had to use some kind of moss killer, via power washer.
It worked but it was not a happy day.
I got my vaccine against moss when I moved here.

Yep. I lost my dad in 2009 when he was 82 and my mom just 6 weeks ago. She was 93 and I'm 60. Our family has always been close and they were both terminally ill, so I have no regrets. It's still a strange feeling though.

Not only have I had the "orphan" thought since my Mom passed on the 31st of August, following my Dad who passed in 2016, but there is also that thought of: "Well, I guess my generation is next. Better make the best of the years that are left".
Parents are an anchor even of you are far away and don't see them frequently. When you lose the last of them, it's like being cast loose into the depths all alone.

I know at least one boat owner in that marina who will be quite upset at the skeery display of racist right-wing extremism (Trump flags). A complete ignoramus/hamster-level intelligence when it comes to "politics".
There have now been 2 Trump boat parades in San Diego Bay. I won't be surprised if there's another before November.
