Spock Plays Chess

As always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment.

A Moron's Chess Table

(Click for larger view)

WOPR writes:

My wife, the garage sale and auction shopper, found the table for me when I told her I wanted to make a chess table. From there it became a grim reminder of shop class back in high school. Stripping and staining were fairly straightforward. Instructions from online sites have you painting or staining in the squares. After considering that, I realized that with my skills it probably wasn't a good plan. So, I decided to get wood squares and solve my problem. The squares are 2" x 2" x 1/4". Of course, laying out the squares did not go quit as planned and they are off a bit at points. It is not bad if you do not look to closely. Overall, it is probably a C in shop class.

The chess pieces are a hand carved, weighted, House of Staunton set. They were on clearance with free shipping. House of Staunton has a piece sizing feature that matches the pieces to square size. The pieces have a good feel to them.

Easier Problem - White To Play

2kr3r/p1q3p1/2nb4/2p2p2/4p3/2B1P1Pb/P1P1Q2P/1R2R1KB w - - 0 1

1.Qa6+ Kd7

Not 1...Qb7?? 2. Qxb7#

2.Rb7

White pins and wins Black's queen for a rook. With the pin, he pulls just slightly ahead in material. Did you notice that White started out this problem down a piece? Now the material is Q v. R+N, so he's up by about a pawn.

More Challenging Problem - White To Play

r1q1k1r1/ppp1n1p1/5p1p/5P2/1PN5/2P1Q3/P5PP/3R1RK1 w q - 0 1

White can force a mate in 7 moves:

1.Rfe1! ( not 1.Rde1? Qd7 and the win slips away. Maintaining control of the d-file is crucial)

1...Qd7
2. Rxd7 Kxd7
3. Qxe7+ Kc6
4. Qe6+

Or 4.Qc5+ Kd7 5.Re7+ Kc8 6.Qxc7#

4...Kb5
5.Qd5+ c5
6.Qxc5+ Ka4
7.Qa5#

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.

Posted by: olddog in mo at May 19, 2018 05:25 PM (Dhht7)

61 I suppose it's too much to ask that now that "The Wedding" has happened, that folks can stop gushing over "The Royals." Ugh.

Please, enough of the Loyalist bootlicking. The Crown is nothing but a well-dressed clown show.

So sick of it all. Especially what with all else going on in that horrifically blighted nation.

65 Ah, it came up for me in the blush color so I assumed you had done that when you linked it. I'm a yuuuge fan of navy so I think it's a great choice!

It's a very pretty dress. I'll bet when you try it on you'll love it. As to whether it's appropriate, I think it certainly is, but you could ask your daughter for her opinion.

100 Game thread!

Bethesda are teasing / trolling the crap out of their upcoming releases. Last week they announced Rage 2, formally. (Informally, Walmart in Canada accidentally leaked a bunch of their upcoming releases.)

And we're all still awaiting E3 when Bethesda and others announce and demo more of their stuff. Starfield is the one I'm looking forward to, most.

102 Ah, it came up for me in the blush color so I assumed you had done that when you linked it. I'm a yuuuge fan of navy so I think it's a great choice!

It's a very pretty dress. I'll bet when you try it on you'll love it. As to whether it's appropriate, I think it certainly is, but you could ask your daughter for her opinion.
Posted by: bluebell at May 19, 2018 05:26 PM (oMtOd)

The only way it might be... MIGHT be inappropriate, is if everyone thinks you look better than the bride.

Otherwise, as a duly designated hetero (and unattached) male, I approve.

239 I don't have the same disdain for monarchy that many here do but my interest in this wedding is close to zero.
Yeah, Harry is the grandson of the queen, etc., etc., but it's just not that big of a deal.

That said --- and as with the otherwise snoozeworthy Oscars --- I always check out the fashion.

The wedding dress? The bride said she was going for the kind of look Caroline Whoever wore when she married JFK Jr. Yeah, nice. But you can't get that sleek, sophisticated look when you're adding a fussy tiara, long veil, and big train. So it ended up being just okay.
The reception halter-top dress was much sharper.

Best dressed of the celebs that I saw --- Victoria Beckham. Understated and sleek, as usual.

Amal Clooney overdid it in a neon-bright yellow dress and matching hat. She wears the color well, as few women do, but it registered an eleven on the attention-whore scale.

Oprah, who usually dresses very well, looked dreadful in a tight boob-enhancing pink dress. This may be what Miss Piggy looks like naked --- except for the ginormous boobs.

267 Sparkle's reception dress was much nicer than her wedding dress. She really shouldn't have worn a white wedding dress, it was tacky. Even if she were a virgin getting married for the first time...she is too old to wear white. a beautiful off white or ivory would have suited her much better. She does seem to wear lots of white. There were a lot of hideous dresses at this wedding. Why??? These people have tons of money, why do they choose such ugly dresses. Pippa's dress was horrible, ugh!!!

I expect that she's not a virgin-no, but then there aren't a lot of them out there unless they come from a religious background, respect the admonitions against pre-marital sex and have not been married before.

"For Your Eyes Only" I'm a little biased here. One of the locations the movie was shot at was the Greek Isle of Corfu. I spent a week there and I have fond, somewhat blurry and in some cases blacked out, memories of my time there. Ouzo is good, dangerous, but good. Pints of Lager was about 50 cents a bottle.

293 Hillary is fat. She will probably always be fat unless she loses a lot of weight because of illness. What would people dress her in to make her look better?. I'm serious here-don't tell me " a casket" "prison strikes" or "orange" ;^). I ask because there was a woman-the grandmother of the bride at the wedding I officiated at. She had some beautiful black silk pants and a white blouse with some short of sheer Japanese looking white and black gossamer thing over it. She looked beautiful and she is not a small woman. It's hard for people who are heavy to look good.

333 267--- Sparkle's reception dress was much nicer than her wedding dress. She really shouldn't have worn a white wedding dress, it was tacky. Even if she were a virgin getting married for the first time...she is too old to wear white. a beautiful off white or ivory would have suited her much better. She does seem to wear lots of white.......
Posted by: lin-duh at May 19, 2018 06:47 PM (kufk0)
---------------------------------
She looks good in true white and probably doesn't look so good in the ivory shades.

I personally don't think a big, fancy wedding with a traditional veil and long dress is appropriate for a second wedding, whatever shade of white is chosen.

But then, this is Harry's first. I dunno.

341 Tyne Daly (sp?) looked pretty good in Judging Amy IMO. I think the first rule for any woman looking good is wear a smile so Shrillary was and is doomed and same with Michelle 90% of the time. Shillary chose to hook herself to Bill and be the evil lawyer smearing his conquests and assault victims.

I never got why Michelle seems so sour so much of the time, Barry adored her and the girls and she got tons of press adoration and free rein to gad about anywhere she wanted to, WTH reason did she have to look/be so grumpy, even if Barry is a hapless nerd who couldn't figure out gate/umbrella combos. And I don't need to hear about "just Barry's beard" Might be true but if so Barry adored her for being the cover and for being mom to the kids. That was his only decent feature IMO.

I liked the idea of the dress having little adornment, lace and ribbons and bows would have looked ridiculous on a 36 year old divorced woman. IMO, the veil was ridiculous. That dress would have looked fabulous with a hat and short veil. I know they wanted to incorporate Queen Mary's diamond tiara, which was pretty much obscured by all the tulle.

by the way, the commentators on PBS(that is the channel I watched this on, as it had no commercials and no obnoxious Anderson Cooper and posse all commenting and joking, etc.) noted that Harry wore the uniform of the Blues or some such thing, which was several stations down from where he finished his Army career. They said he could have worn the higher up uniform with it's insignia, medals, awards, etc. but he wanted to show where he was most at home.

PBS commentators said the invitations requested a hat and a "day dress". They added that because of the religious ceremony in a church, that meant no bare shoulders, sleeveless was ok, but not encouraged, and hats were required.

I was surprised Breitbart thought Beckham's dress was great. Why would you wear a black dress to a noon wedding in May?

If you google Queen Rania, wedding dress, it will come up. She is breathtakingly beautiful, in that she is equal to Melania in looks and fashion and has the same kindness, concern for others and charity.
