How can White indulge in a little "mortal kombat" and FINISH HIM?

With chess pieces that light up when they are on or near the board, this set almost seems like magic. Chess board includes a power adapter or you can use 4 AA batteries (not included).Looks like a fun novelty set. They're doing nifty things with LEDs these days. (h/t to tsrblke) Problem 4 - Black To Play (52) Hint: Mate in 6 4rk1r/pQp2p2/3p4/1Bb2P1p/3n1Bn1/7P/PPP2RP1/RN4K1 b - - 0 15 Endgame of the Week (Endgame 276) Black's advanced pawn looks mighty dangerous.

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.

Posted by: IC at January 21, 2017 05:32 PM (gcme+) 58
Let's see if I understand this correctly: In 2001, we were attacked by Islamic radicals, and the country united for a brief period of time. Circa 2002, liberals, too scared to face the actual threat of death by Islam, decided that George W. Bush was the greatest threat to our freedom and is an evil genius/ complete clown that must be stopped. In 2008, we immaculated their Boy King Obama. Who gives Islam a pass, and pretends that there is not threat. The liberals were happy as pigs in sh*t, because they were collectively in denial, and no bad scary thing could ever happen, except random events and workplace violence that just happened to be committed by Muslims. Fast forward to 2016. A strong Republican is sworn in and the day after, liberals-- this time female-- go absolutely insane, because Donald J. Trump is the greatest threat to their freedom. Not Islamic nut jobs who are plotting acts of violence, but an American president. Does that sound about right? I believe the term we're all looking for is "projection." In other words, as long as we have a Republican in office who is not appeasing Muslims, this cr@p is going to continue. /really embarrassed to be a woman today Posted by: shibumi, who requires a cute kitty story stat! at January 21, 2017 05:32 PM (J5mC3) 59

Let's see if I understand this correctly: In 2001, we were attacked by Islamic radicals, and the country united for a brief period of time. Circa 2002, liberals, too scared to face the actual threat of death by Islam, decided that George W. Bush was the greatest threat to our freedom and is an evil genius/ complete clown that must be stopped. In 2008, we immaculated their Boy King Obama. Who gives Islam a pass, and pretends that there is not threat. The liberals were happy as pigs in sh*t, because they were collectively in denial, and no bad scary thing could ever happen, except random events and workplace violence that just happened to be committed by Muslims. Fast forward to 2016. A strong Republican is sworn in and the day after, liberals-- this time female-- go absolutely insane, because Donald J. Trump is the greatest threat to their freedom. Not Islamic nut jobs who are plotting acts of violence, but an American president. Does that sound about right? I believe the term we're all looking for is "projection." In other words, as long as we have a Republican in office who is not appeasing Muslims, this cr@p is going to continue. /really embarrassed to be a woman today Posted by: shibumi, who requires a cute kitty story stat! at January 21, 2017 05:32 PM (J5mC3) This, and the fact that their control of Americans via identity politics and threats of racism is in jeopardy.

Yes, Aetius 451 AD. That seems to be the operative paradigm. And Sean did, indeed, bring a gun. He peppered them with 00 buckshot - several times, in fact - told 'em the New Sheriff's media policy, slammed the Democrats, gave 'em a morsel of information and walked out.
He had his say, and walked out. He didn't take any questions. I hope he starts showing up with a pith helmet and a whip and a chair. Posted by: vivi at January 21, 2017 05:49 PM (11H2y) 119

Well in case you didn't I'm running right at 50% still. That's after 8 or 9 games. I figure if I'm still there after 20 I'll go another level.
Almost all my losses are still stoopid. Focusing on one corner of the board where I'm gonna start really dropping the hammer on the next move annnnd here comes a bishop from the opposite corner that I forgot about to ruin my day. Posted by: teej at January 21, 2017 07:45 PM (iMDvh) 154
