Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 09-25-2021

Moviegique should be along later with the movie thread. As always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment.

Dress Pr0n For the 'Ettes:

For #weddingwednesday today we diverge from a traditional white/ivory gown to this 2006 example created by Australian/Japanese designer Akira Isogawa.

There is a quiet authority to this #1820s #redingote, both in its unadulterated lines and its depth of colour. The silk of this period is almost silent with none of the crisp rustle of later decades. She would glide in midnight blue splendour @rijksmuseum #fashionhistory pic.twitter.com/PA9W8WVWjh

Swing Time was released in the USA #OnThisDay in 1936. Ginger Rogers wore this Bernard Newman designed two-tone chocolate and crème crepe Grecian gown in an unused scene in the film. The gown was used as the grand prize in a 1936 magazine contest. @HeritageAuction #film #dress pic.twitter.com/qRu4dJ3A1w

___________

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.

31 I'm awaiting for any results of a ...um... chemistry experiment from earlier today.
It involves apple juice, cinnamon and some mead.
Homemade. Testing is not to be undertaken in large amounts as it's on the potent side. Also, cinnamon, apple juice and some honey moonshine, (it has a tax stamp so it's just the name), for personal consumption.
First taste, not bad. It at least has yet to melt the bottle.

I've recently tried making whiskey old fashions with Jim Beam, Seagrams, Jack Daniels, Wild Turkey,, Wild Turkey 101, and Makers Mark. Makers is hands down, far and away, the best, but also most expensive of the bunch. So I usually go with the 101. Plus using anything but Makers at least keeps me from drinking too many.

126 On my honeymoon, I went to Paris. My wife let me go to the Musee de L'armie - which really is pretty cool.

I was struck by how small, okay, tiny...women and men were prior to 1820...like really munchkin size. They had armor for knights that came up to my chest, and I am not that tall. They had gowns that looked like some six year old would have worn it...I get it that there were tall people before 1820, they say that Henry the Eighth was over six foot, but I am guessing not really a lot, not even among the wealthy class...

146 Had a relaxing pipe (Granger tobacco in a vintage billiard, if it matters) on my step with some iced mineral water to cool me down. The weather is less hot -- not "cooler," you'll notice -- so sitting on the step with dappled sunlight filtering through the trees is not unpleasant.

Tonight's Svengoolie movie is 1957's Blood of Dracula, which has nothing to do with the classic count or Transylvania at all, apparently. Turns out Aben Kandel, the guy who wrote it (and I Was A Teenage Frankenstein plus a classic episode of U.N.C.L.E., among other things) was actually born in Romania, like Edward G. Robinson. Miss Linda will probably go for another episode of Jamestown, which is well mounted but not terribly exciting after the first few episodes.

195 Sheesh, I've been at my 'not for profit' company for over 25 years. I asked for promotion late this spring. I just had to submit info for a background check as part of them finally approving that. They wanted my college details. Like I remember what my GPA was and have contact info for the university handy when I haven't changed employers in 25 years. I think I might? might?? have a transcript in my office at work that I haven't seen in 18 months cuz 'WFH due to covid", I haven't asked to resume working in office and now they'll probably have a vaccine mandate, although they are at least waiting until OSHA comes up with the actual rule. I'll probably have to take a stupid covid test to be allowed to go in and collect my stuff from my former office. Anyway I left the GPA blank and just put in notes that I didn't remember it. I didn't want to guess and get dinged for lying about my qualifications -- as if the GPA from over 25 years ago has any relevance vs the 25 years of on the job experience. Eye roll.

The breed judge passed by Her Majesty and said one of the competition told her that Lila shouldn't have been awarded Breed because she was overgroomed.

America is divided, they say, between, liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, blue staters and red staters, rich and poor, black and white, etc.
But there is another division in the United States that is rarely if ever, talked about - the division between those teenagers who go to college and those who join America's armed forces."

277 Hedy was Jewish in Nazi Germany, but married to a German industrialist who she left to flee to the West.

Before she did, all the big Nazi honchos fawned over her at parties and such, and many liked to brag. Hedy was quite smart and could undertand the details of what she was told and remember them. One of the things she heard about was anti-jamming radios that used frequency-hopping. She worked with a guy who knew technology and got a US patent. It was left unused but the idea was later the basis for spread spectrum used by cell phone tower.

There's another version of this story that has Hedy inventing it all. I believe that mine is true, and the alternate leaves out silly Nazis drooling over a Jewess.

298 Rod Serling was an American classic, Ben Had.
He dictated his episodes/scripts poolside to his lovely stenographer, who took them down in shorthand and later typed them out.
Every Twilight Zone episode, at the very least, is thoughtful. Some are indeed better than others, but that's to be expected. Nonetheless, I've seen every one more than once.
I think Serling was a Pacific theater vet. A lot of Hollywood types were vets, in those days.
Enjoy the shows!

Which includes standing against wickedness. Standing FOR God's law. Speaking truth. Not lusting after power, but holding the powerful to account, as best we are able.

399 or, OR, maybe it's because the most afflicted by the "Delta" variant.. are jabbed ! twice ! could be , no ?

Last week, when informed of the death of a former church member, the lines crossed where I now know more people who have died directly because of the mRNA injections than have died with CoViD.

Well, when you have allowed yourself to get fat, lazy, stupid and ambivalent while your enemy has been preparing and drilling for generations, then your enemy then beats your ass into the ground and very little of your life remains - your options get a bit thin.

Nonetheless, our options at this point is dissolution of the union. At the very least, Irish Democracy. Push to have your State make itself a Sanctuary State. If you live in a shithole State like anything on the Left coast, you deserve every bad thing that happens to you just as much as if you were to run around Afghanistan pretending to be a Hassidic Jew.

Isn't that the one that could create a tsunami that reaches the East coast? Or is that an alarmist theory?

410 63 Oregon Muse Intermediate problem:

What's wrong with
5 Kh1 Rxg4#

Can't go to g1 because of R on g4, everything else available to the King is covered by one of the bishops. What am I missing?

Posted by: Greg The Class Traitor at September 25, 2021 10:11 PM (YkwP9)

411 Greg,
Rxg4 is not checkmate. The answer is p-f3

Posted by: RICHARD D ROBERTSON at September 26, 2021 06:05 PM (VKSrJ)

412 I haven't worked it through, but quite possible Rxg4 could end up as perpetual check?

Posted by: RICHARD D ROBERTSON at September 26, 2021 06:12 PM (VKSrJ)

413 Thank you Richard
