Saturday Afternoon Chess Thread 01-25-2020
GM Ju Wenjun (CHN)
Pic Note Congratulations to Ju Wenjun for retaining her World Women's Championship title. This is actually a three-peat. For the country of China itself, it's a five-peat. The Chinese women basically own this title, having held it a total of 22 years since 1991. Moviegique will 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.
Beginner Problem - White To Play (422) White can capture Black's rook for the win with this one surprising move!
(Reminder: 2 knights alone cannot force checkmate) Hint: The first move is not a check
8/8/8/8/8/2Nk4/2r1N3/KB6 w - - 0 1
Intermediate Problem - White To Play (427)
Hint: Set up a bishop fork
6k1/pppr2pp/8/3bp3/8/8/PPP1BPPP/2KR4 w - - 0 1
Advanced Problem - White To Play (483) OK, since this is a composition with a specific goal, I think it's OK to tell you what the goal is, which is that White can force a mate in 5. I think it's devlishly tricky, and I'm ashamed to tell you I had to have my chess app find the answer for me, because I completely whiffed on it. Maybe some of you will do better, I hope. Here are a couple of hints, but it's hard for me to tell how helpful they'll be: Hint 1: Underpromotion is not involved
Hint 2: The pawn stays where it is.
8/8/8/8/8/Q7/4p3/5k1K w - - 0 1

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.

Not sure what you're looking at, but B might as well take one of the knights for the rook. You can checkmate with B and N but it takes some doing to get the K to a corner and delivering the final check. 50 moves is possible to stalemate if playing someone who keeps allowing the K to escape.

So now political figures in the US have immunity from investigation of wrong-doing if a foreign government might be involved in investigating said wrong-doing? Even if the wrong-doing were committed while in public office?
Sweet.
So when this impeachment farce is over (soon), the very clear if implicit take-away will be that malfeasance of political figures cannot be investigated if a foreign govt. is involved. Maybe not even so implicit.
Because the GOP, and WH, either don't have the guts or clarity to obliterate such an idiotic implication, which is central to the ridiculous attacks by the Dems.

Hard to guage wife's eating. She's still on 2 diuretics from last hospital stay. She's lost 26 pounds in 2 weeks, but pretty sure that was almost all water.
She's been very good about trying to eat more and I think is doing that. She's feeling better and doing some walking without a walker. I'm going to get her to try couple of steps tomorrow for exercise. We live in a quad level. Ugh.

Yeah I don't think many are aware of the injuries found with some targeted in the al-Asad missile attack.
But it only illustrates (not that it should need empirical demonstration) that this very dubious idea of "restraint" based on immediately-known outcomes, and assumptions about enemy intentions, is ludicrous, and dangerous.
We control every rung in the escalation ladder, Iran doesn't even have the top few rungs, and materially hurting them and humiliating them is the smart response, every time. Many many options to do this in ways that don't induce mass-fainting episodes among America's dumbed-down citizens.

Not only that, Dershowitz is on Trump's trial team. Schiff made pointed comments in his direction, and to Ken Starr, during his closing speech last night.
The speakers today only spoke for a little under 2 hours, but during that time made plenty of direct and indirect references to how long the Dems took, their repetitiveness in their presentations, and showing the same video clips over and over, to the point of mockery sometimes.

From time to time when, for instance, there is a Vet discount, I get that comment. It's obviously perfunctory, and likely required by the management.
If the person seems likely to have the slightest sense of humor, I reply with a smile and a small laugh, "Well, you only say that because you don't know what I did."
If that scores a smile or a laugh, then it's good.

I think Trump and McConnell want this wrapped up without the opportunity for any surprise Beach Friends tactics from the Dems, or opportunities for the media to keep spinning this thing out in an election year.
I think the Dems have more-or-less hung their hats on bombshell testimony from Bolton that is unlikely to materialize outside of their masturbatory fantasies, and they know it.
That would be yet another disastrous Mueller-style moment in Congress that makes the nation sneer with derision. So the second-best thing is to have no witnesses and spend nine months screaming that the GOP suppressed testimony.
I am betting on no witnesses. Everyone's happy that way.

I'm a bit dubious, but my working theory is that the Dems *don't* want witnesses. They're rolling the dice on the Republicans *not* going along with witnesses, then, reinforced by the quisling MSM, they will *forever* say things like,'What are they hiding? Cover-up! What are they afraid of? Obstruction. etc. etc.'

If black moves the bishop F7, white takes the rook.
If black takes the bishop, white takes the rook so it is a trade of a bishop for a rook, which is in white's favor.
If black makes any other move, white takes the bishop, black takes the bishop, and white takes the rook.
No matter the outcome, black at best will trade a bishop for a rook.

While the press' problems are of long-standing, in recent times there's been a general collapse. And their distortion still frames the world for tens of millions, possibly half or more of the country. Incredible.
Speaking of things happening but not happening to the American press, France is beset with strikes and protests, and Iran is pulling out all stops to defend its predominant position in Iraq (killing protesters again, but the unrest is real and broad, and the intimidation isn't working, a real civil war brewing within the Shi'a majority).
Doubt the French protests offer much hope, probably about $$$.

Skip the counter-factual - what would happen if, changing nothing else about the situation, Trump were convicted and removed from office? - is actually a semi-plausible "civil war" scenario.
Essentially it would be the Beltway cancelling the last election - notwithstanding the great success of the victor since taking office.

fundraiser for both sides. Trump isn't going to be convicted. Everyone
knows that. No one cares about the evidence. The only thing that
senators care about is their own poll numbers. It's a massive waste of
time better spent confirming judges.

Posting and gathering information by non journalists means you are a conspiracy theorist. Everybody knows only licensed journalists can do proper research and gather information.

The late Bob Bennet, UT senator who was first elected in 1992 and whose dad was a senator for the better part of 25 years, lost his reelection bid in 2010 when he failed to get through the, frankly, rather bizarre GOP nomination process. Lost to Mike Lee. So it's possible Romney could get drummed out if he runs in 2024.

I recall the super-heavyweight wrestler for the "Unified Team" (name given to the former Soviet Olympic team for the '92 Olympics, as there wasn't time to organize separate national teams), who was from Novosibirsk, had the nickname "The Experiment". He was huge. And, notably, proportional - not a "big" wrestler, just a scaled-up Greek statue-like strong athlete. Trim and muscular.
Only guy ever in the weight class whose opponents allowed him to pin them (often, quickly) - to avoid injury. He could actually pick these guys up, as happens in much much smaller weight classes. Hilarious.
He was 15 lbs. at birth. As the color guy on TV said when this factoid was mentioned - "oh, his poor mother!".

I don't think Kasparov is liberal. But he hates Putin with a passion and so if anybody, for any reason, says something nice about Putin or tries to deal with him in any way that is not 100% hostile, Kasparov will conclude that guy likes dictators.
So the closest thing Kasparov can be described as is a NeverTrump conservative.

Queen to F3 for check.
Black has no move other than King to E1.
Queen to E3.
Black has to move King to D1, because moving back to F1 is mate on next move with Queen to G1.
White King to G1 which closes off the entire F column to black King.
Black could go to C2, but White then takes the pawn, so Black needs to go back to E1 to keep protecting it. But then white Queen to C1 is mate, so I guess C2 is Black's only move.
White queen takes pawn and check.
But then the black King can move to row 3. White can get to mate, but not in 5 this way.
Forcing in 5? I'm stuck.

They literally put out a story 3 hours ago that the Bat-SARS stared a month before ground zero in the wet animal and fish market. And even better the first patients had showed zero symptoms. Gotta change that narrative from it breaking out 8.6 miles away from the only level 4 bioweapon research and development facility. And ignore the posted gene sequence of the Bat-SARS that came from the market. And ignore all the research and development in human to human transmission of Bat-SARs including the one the Chinese military created and published.
Bat-SARS started off safe with no symptoms a month earlier. Trust the Chinese. Nothing to hide.
Laughable, but the rubes will by it and China saves face.

Hikaru was openly for Hillary and Kasparov mentored him a few years back. Most chess players are quiet about politics but consider the world they live in. Everyone knows there is a male/female gap in ability but no-one dwells on it.

Yup. Just talking about this a few minutes ago, with respect to the idea that all of the genetic testing going on is leading to cold criminal cases being solved...because family members of the perpetrators are sending in their DNA.
Still unsure as to how that is happening, but apparently it is. Submit your DNA to ancestry.com, and poof! your criminal family member is identified.
Magically.

Dude seems to have really lost his way after having the basic sense and decency to have opposed Soviet oppression.
He's really beclowning himself now, in particularly bad ways, invoking (in an inverted fashion) Stalin's show trials in his anti-Trump hysteria. Could be he's just naive and not very bright when it comes to geopolitics, despite his moral compass.
Sad!

Looked at his Twitter. Wow. The House had the show trial with absolutely no opportunity for evidence supporting Trump to be entered or questions asked to people against Trump, but the Senate is Stalin. I've never thought that being proficient at one thing makes you an automatic authority on anything else. This butt clown proves it once again.

For the Ardennes offensive in '44, several U-boats were posted to North Atlantic weather duty (bad weather, normal for the period, was key to Hitler's concept - neutralizing Allied air superiority).
Some of the best "snatches" related to Ultra code breaking were from German weather ships in the North Sea and further north.

3. create their family trees until you get a name of someone who had some connection to the crime (lived or worked nearby, was interviewed originally, etc)
4. Get that person's dna from something thrown away
5. If you get a match to that, then get the arrest warrant

1.Bg4 Rd6
There are two other options:
1...Rd8 2. Rxd5 Rxd5 3. Be6+
1...Re7 2. Rxd5
Either one leads to a fork, as does the main line:
2.Rxd5 Rxd5
3.Be6+ Kf8
4.Bxd5 and wins
Black cannot escape the bishop fork.
Instead of Kf8, why not Kf6 on line 3? It probably only delays the inevitable for black, but it seems like a better option. Or am I missing the obvious again?
