Saturday Afternoon Chess Thread 03-16-2019

Romantic Chess

Pic Note:

Isn't Romantic chess wonderful? Bet he's not the first man to throw a game, hoping to get some favors from milady.

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

Easier Problem - White To Play (938 )

This position is from Reti-Tartakower, Vienna 1923.

Goal: White can force mate in 3 moves
Hint: Set up a deadly double check

rnb1kb1r/pp3ppp/2p5/4q3/4n3/3Q4/PPPB1PPP/2KR1BNR w kq - 0 1

More Challenging Problem - White To Play (855)

This is not a study or a made-up position. According to the information in my chess database, this position is from Zuckertort-Englisch, 1883. I would never be able to find the correct solution to a problem like this OTB, but it's fun to move the pieces around and expore the various lines.

Goal: White can force advantage exchanges, leaving Black with almost nothing
Hint: lots of tactics in this one, multiple deflections and a knight fork, but no underpromoting

4k3/p1P3p1/2q1np1p/3N4/8/1Q3PP1/6KP/8 w - - 0 1

Easier Problem - White To Play

rnb1kb1r/pp3ppp/2p5/4q3/4n3/3Q4/PPPB1PPP/2KR1BNR w kq - 0 1

1.Qd8+ Kxd8
2.Bg5+ Kc7

If 2...Ke8 then 3.Rd8#

3.Bd8#

More Challenging Problem - White To Play

4k3/p1P3p1/2q1np1p/3N4/8/1Q3PP1/6KP/8 w - - 0 1

1. Qb5 Qxb5

The only move. 1...Qd7 2.c8Q+ is disastrous for Black.

2. c8Q+ Kf7
3. Qxe6+ Kxe6

Taking the queen is not Black's only response. There are a couple of other lines, but the end result is pretty much the same. We'll look at them after the main line:

4.Nc7+ Kd6
5.Nxb5+ and wins

Instead of 3...Kxe6, Black can try running away. After all, he still has his queen. But his hopes will be dashed:

Line #1: 3...Kg6 4.Ne7+ Kh7 (4...Kh5 5.Qg4#) 5.Qg8#
Line #2: 3...Kf8 4. e8+ Kxe8 5.Nc7+ winning

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.

Anyhoo.. if interested let me know. I won't order more supplies if there is no interest. If you don't want to register at Etsy you can always email me. My nic at yahoo.

It's called the Weight Watchers Complete Food Companion. It's available through WW in which case you have to join to get it. But Amazon also has copies.

And I probably should've mentioned this in yesterday's thread: don't join WW. Mrs. Muse is a long-time member, and ever since Oprah Winfrey got involved with it a few years ago, it's gone completely to hell. It's now a bunch of touchy-feely bullshit.

The system is good, though. I weighed myself this morning. I lost 3 more pounds this week, am now down to 180. Yay me!

58 Any game news?

The secretive Avengers game might be revealed soon, there's some kind of Google tech show going on now.

I keep seeing all this super pissed off Youtube videos about Anthem. Evidently the game has pissed off a lot of fan boys for some reason.

Speaking of games, my favorite Youtube channel is a Gamer called Welyn. It might seem odd to watch other people play video games, but this guy is a masterful editor and he condenses a long campaign into a much shorter story like presentation. The game he plays is called Rust. It's a survival game that seems to bring out the worst in people, LOL! Here's an example if anyone is curious:

70 I watched some of the Red Letter Media guys play a game a couple of times. One was really funny because it was a game where you're an octopus trying to live among humans and apparently the controls are all completely nonsensical.

I don't remember what the other was but part of the reason it was fun was because they seem to be just as bad at gaming as I am, and that's sort of refreshing in a way. Plus Jack, the bald one, is a useful gauge of what the left/CNN viewers are up to.

76 So I've been sitting here just drinking and watching YouTube videos all day. I was going to clean the bathroom, but that's no fun.

Here is an Air Force film about guided missiles from 1948. It's pretty fascinating. Those early crude experiments were the ancestors of today's cruise missiles, ICBMs, smart bombs, and drones.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI2ip7VHO9A

I don't think it's mentioned in the video, but the first surface-to-air missiles were developed in late WWII to counter the kamikazes, however the war ended before they became operational.

164 Sorry if this has been covered, but it's freaking me out a bit -- the perp in the New Zealand massacre seems to be a troll. I don't mean that he's an Internet troll in his off hours, though that's certainly true. I mean that he somehow, through this heinous slaughter, thinks he's performing the ultimate trolling act. I got a hint of that when I saw a picture of him in the Daily Mail giving what they said was a "white power" sign, and saw that was the OK sign, and was forced to think: either he's stupid and gullible, or he's...trolling.
Hadn't managed to get that sorted out in my mind, really, but this Thomas Wictor analysis really brought the whole thing together.

That is so bizarre, almost impossible to believe - and yet it all hangs together, all makes an insane kind of "sense". Maybe in the end it's going to be the same kind of thing as the Las Vegas shooting, with more words - a psychopath murders a huge number of innocent people just to bring himself the attention that he always felt he deserved.

It surprises me that no one in Europe has pointed out that the basic structure of the EU is virtually identical to the original Articles of Confederation in the US, which failed withing 6 - 7 years. Then the Confederacy tried to revive them, and one of the big non-military reasons they lost to the Federals was that their Government was completely ill-suited to dealing with any kind of emergency situations. (Lee's army starved and ran out Ammunition in Virginia while Georgia's Governor notoriously refused to provide them with any of the blankets and ammunition which he had stored in his warehouses, and Richmond had no power to compel him to do any different.)

The EU's form of government has been tried often before, and that form has ALWAYS collapsed when up against any external pressure.

No soreheads were pissing and moaning about cultural appropriation. Everyone was i a party mood.

277 SCOTUS better get off their asses and quash this national popular vote compact.

One, its an end run around the Electoral College clause.

Two, it's end run around the Amendment requirement.

Third, it also creates an huge incentive for massive vote fraud and illegal immigration.

Fourth, if a state awards its electors to a candidate the voters did not choose, that is a huge Civil Rights violation.

Fifth, if states say they are awarding their electors based on national popular vote--even if it doesn't change anything--it becomes normalized.

Sixth, if a state awards electors based on a national popular vote in defiance of their own voters and it *does* change the election outcome, that's the that's the kind of shit that could start a civil war.

No more Trump winning by reaching out to the rust belt if PA, MI and WI had adopted the dumb popular vote system.

Yes, and they control the state. The suburban counties are turning more Democrat by the hour. They are never going back.

No, I'll just drive there myself and lie about having someone to drive me home.

337 Did
not know that, that is a very positive note, and I keep hoping that the
progs have severely misunderestimated President Trump, but the entire
Establishment seems hell-bent on screwing this country over to thwart
him!

The Dems these days are usually not arguing qualifications (because they can't) but they are arguing that a judicial nominee should be disqualified because of cases he/she had when in private practice or even when working for the government. "You represented X or argued Y! This is terrible!" A few of them went after a nominee because he was a member of the Knights of Columbus, and therefore he wouldn't be able to be impartial.

338 I called Bux-Mont Transportation and they said they're just a taxi company and they won't wait for me. The surgery center insists that I have someone there to wait for me, so that does me no good.

I guess those of us without friends are just shit out of luck.

I impressed my sixteen year old into service. They were quite strict about having a licensed driver pick me up.

Maybe you can drive yourself there and get a cab for the trip home and another to recover your car.

Although I don't think the place I went would have gone for that.

Last time I had a procedure like that, they wanted to see the return driver before I could complete the admission procedure!!
