Saturday Afternoon Chess Thread 02-15-2020
GM Kateryna Lahno (UKR/RUS)
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 (443) Goal: White can force mate in 3 moves

Greetings from Hungary
("You know I think you're a pathetic little worm, don't you?")
(I think they wrote this song about her. True fact: I first heard this song 40+ years ago and never knew *until today* that it was the radio cut. This is the cut on the album, which is considerably longer.)

2.Rb7+ Kd6 If 2...Rxb7 then 3.axb7 and the pawn skates to the 8th rank. Black can make White work for the win by not retaking the rook, and by bringing his king into play. 3.Rxa7 Kc6
4.Ra8 Kb6
5.a7 Ba6 If Black tries to immediately force the rook away with 5...Be4, then White can force a decisive simplificaton with 6.Re8 Bb7 7.a8=Q Bxa8 8.Rxa8 winning. 6.Bd5 h5 Or 6...h6 7.Kg2 h5 8.Kg3 h4+ 9.Kxh4 Bd3 10.Kg5 Ba6 11.Kf4 Bf1 12.Ke3 Bb5 13.Rb8+ Kxa7 14.Rxb5 wins 7.Kg2 h4

13.Rc8 Kxa7
14.Ra8+ Kb6
15.Rb8+ and wins with the skewer. The moral of this story is, don't give up too early. It's true that White had the win, but he had to work hard for it, and in the stress of a tournament situation, time pressure, etc., there's plenty of room for mistakes. 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.

Ironic we paid so much attention to the Middle East development of WMDs (chemical, biological, and nuclear). And we helped fund and had traitors work and help smuggle tech and samples to the Chinese. Guess who wound up being the biggest threat to our Country?

I don't know how big a factor that would be, but I do know that Ms. Lahno is an International Grandmaster. That's a title you get by achieving superior performance norms, not by flashing a bit of cleavage.

In a fire-engine red wool crepe gown by Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller - a Brit, herself, and the first female creative director at the Parisian fashion house who famously designed Meghan Markle's wedding gown.
The Givenchy number is from the brand's Resort 2019 collection and features a bead-embroidered bodice panel and long cape sleeves which are slit open at the front for Mrs. Trump's arms to peak through. The relaxed fitted gown is finished with a satin godet insert and side-slip pockets.
The gown retails for about $7,240.
Mrs. Trump wore sparkling diamond earrings as her only accessory.

Surely the first move is correct.
1. e7+ Kxe7
Otherwise white queens a pawn immediately and there are no checks in the position. So ...
2. Rb7+ Kf7
3. Rxa7
still looks won for white.

Right. Black does not have to take that path, i.e. it is not a forced line. In particular, he doesn't have to take the rook, even though that looks like the logical continuation.

Took a couple of engineers to some of the equipment rooms at work a couple of weeks ago. One of them told me, as he pointed to a couple of servers that those were made in China and when first installed, it was discovered that the were infected with malware. The Chinese company was of course, run by the PRC Intel. They cost millions and then spent more to un-infect them. We are not a serious nation. It's amazing we've stumbled along this long. I guess the other nations are worse. That's a thought.

Oh, it is, no question. But Black can put some resistance, and hope that White will blunder. If I found myself in this position as Black in an actual game, I wouldn't resign but make White prove to me that he knew how to win, especially if my opponent was equal to or below my own rating level. It may only be 4-5 more moves, but I would not immediately resign.

I got into this with a concerned Physical Chemist Prof several years ago. He had no clue that there was an existing feedback mechanism in the biome.
He was focused on atmospheric chemistry and IR reflection. He was a tad too specialized.
CO₂ is not the problem. "Environmentalists" stopping nuclear power are the problem.

Next week sees local oncologist to re-establish relationship as her chemo is finished in STL. Her STL oncologist recommended, but we will still her quarterly. Tuesday go to see a cardiologist. Last stay in hospital they said her heart was "stiff." Pumping out OK, but the intake not so much. We'll see.

In fact that's one of those Fun, Amazing Facts about the Earth. Even though the Earth is only a tiny fraction of the size, Earth has a magnetic field almost equal to Jupiter's, thanks to the 2,000 mile wide ball of spinning, superheated iron and nickel at the core. It's an amazingly powerful field generator, and none of the other inner planets have anything like it.

Sounds like almost perfect weaponization, but on the bright side think how much money the Clintons made from the Chinese and how much we citizens saved from being able to buy cheap crap made by slave labor with our unemployment checks.
Wonder if DoD ever did any studies on military success when so many critical items have been outsourced to a foreign (and potentially adversarial) nation?
Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar
Took a couple of engineers to some of the equipment rooms at work a couple of weeks ago. One of them told me, as he pointed to a couple of servers that those were made in China and when first installed, it was discovered that the were infected with malware. The Chinese company was of course, run by the PRC Intel. They cost millions and then spent more to un-infect them. We are not a serious nation. It's amazing we've stumbled along this long. I guess the other nations are worse. That's a thought.

It causes lesions to form on the testicles causing infertility, so if you survive, you are infertile and probably have very low T. It also affects the lining of all major organs on the surface because of the ACE2 gene expression is located on those too.
It will be many months before we know the full extent of what this man made virus does to all races. But I'm sure scientists will avoid studying this thing based on race.
Also 760 million Chinese on some form of lockdown and they are pissed we won't open our borders and airports to them.

That's a very good question - I don't think anyone can answer "why". The sun itself, which of course has an immense magnetic field, swaps polarity every 11 years, give or take. And no one can really explain why, but it's part of the system. In fact, the sun is in the middle of a polarity flip right now. Which is why all the sunspots have vanished this year, and which might have something to do with cooling.

Yes, me too. Although wife wasn't initially as they canceled her last cycle. She was afraid that cancer would come back sooner if not completed. Dr. said she got wife "a little too close to the sun" in Dec. and that there is no hard data on how many chemo treatments to get. They just go with 6 months as guideline.

1. e7+ Kxe7
2. Rb7+ Kd6
3. Rxa7
Now there are *two* lines. Kc5 or Kc6.
3. ... Kc6
4. Bd5+ Kb6
5. Rb7+ Kxa6
white now keeps the black king on the a-file with the rook and uses his bishop and king to take the pawn on h7 and then comes back to mate black. I don't see a way for white to hang on to the a6 pawn in this line.
3. ... Kc5
4. Rc7+ Kb6
5. a7 Be4
6. Rxh7 ... ( Bxh7 7. a8=Q )
So white will play Rg7 and then manoever his bishop on to the h1-a8 diagonal, protected by the king and wins.

Cannibal Bob. RENT an RV, vs. buying one. Thousand or two for a nice week's vacay, and an extended test drive as "proof of concept."
No maintenance, no storage fees for something you'd only use, what, a few times a year?
And should it be that y'all DO like it and want to buy one, then you're ahead of the game in that you'll have some idea of what features you liked, and which ones to avoid.
Meanwhile. RENT one. No monthly payments, yay!

So, pharmaceutical companies don't want to manufacture cheap generics inside the US. They won't do it. So why not fund a quasi-governmental non-profit corporation which would manufacture and sell generics here in the US at cost, under all applicable safety regs. Have to be better than buying stuff from India or China. So why not?

Agreed. These guys are playing for a spot on an NFL roster to get paid even if it's the practice squad, which gets you paid well.
I like the kickoff rules and punt rules. I also love the elimination of the extra point and what they have done. I wouldn't mind seeing all of these in College and NFL. It is much more entertaining, strategic, and ironically adds a valued skill to both the kickers and punters.

In public, head on a swivel and have a Mattis plan. If you need that advice at home, a better neighborhood, counseling, and/or divorce lawyers are advised.

Kung Flu isn't something I care to get fired about until it starts presenting in large numbers in American cities. It doesn't seem to be a widespread issue here.
For instance: I've had to go through daily screenings for it because the NICU where my daughter lives is super worried about it. But the screen is just verbal... "Have you been to China," etc. I said "No, but how would you know it? How many cases have presented in your hospital?"
The answer was "0."
At least as far as the US market goes, there don't appear to be many issues. I've heard about a few Kung Flu cases in Dallas, Houston, and Chicago. I expect there are more in other places, but not severe enough ones to warrant further scrutiny.

Last year, a well-known whiskey bar and steakhouse got jacked on their lease, and the popular owner, a staple of the restaurant scene in Seattle since the '70's said screw it and shut down.
The month before they closed, and with so many premium whiskeys on the shelf (well over 100), they were offering any shot on the wall for eight bucks.
Buddy and I on a late Sunday afternoon, no sports in town so it was slow, and the bartender and us got to talking. He got to recommending old, expensive, and rare choices.
"Here is one, Ancient Age, they went out of business maybe 20 years ago".
"Hey, my old man used to drink that!"
"Ancient Age made many different choices, here is the 'Ancient - Ancient Age".
Ohh, yeah. It had softened to a smooth, nearly orange liqueur taste with a smooth whiskey tail. Buddy never liked whiskey, he had a second shot with me.
It was simply amazingly smooth, balanced and absolutely unique flavor.
As the Rolling Stones once said, "time is on my side".

Haven't seen the lineup yet. Different venue tried to bring in town last year buy city said they didn't have "sport-event license" from state. Venue sued. Said not a sport, but entertainment. The Midgets testified on his behalf. They just want the work. Good money for the midgets. Not sure how that came out.

The difficulty, I think, is *cost*, rather than accessibility.
My question is, why are costs so high? I might cite the doc down the street who owns *19* fairly exotic automobiles.
I believe that somewhat like unqualified student loans enabling ridiculous school tuitions, the isolation of the payer from the payee (via employer-provided insurance) has allowed the price of healthcare to be largely concealed to the consumer.
There is very little market pressure to compete in pricing.

Me neither, but Gilead, here in the US, developed remdesivir (they do a lot of anti-viral work).The drug worked in Washington State, so Gilead is doing/ or did a huge trial. The Chinese say they are not stealing the patent because they will be giving away the drug.

Of course scientists will look at genetic differences with this virus. Some Chinese researchers already say that this virus has an affinity for a protein that is more abundant in the alveoli of Asian people.
Medical science often looks at differences in how different groups respond to medications as well. I thought this was sort of common knowledge.

Without makeup, she's not particularly pretty. But her makeup is very skillful. After her 50's makeover, she looked like everyone's 50's mom. And after her '60's and 70's ones, she looked exactly the way I remember Carnaby Street Mod girls, hippie chicks, punk rockers and disco queens looking - using the products available at the time.
I hope she does videos for the 20's, 30's and 40's as well.

How often, in movies (and even built into boards in the parks) are the boards set up wrong.
There's a saying I learned as a child: white is on the right.
The board is properly set up with the white square on the right for each player.
But it is on the left so often.
At our main Salt Lake City park fully half the boards are embedded in the cement tables so the benches face the board wrong.
On TV and in movies it is about 50/50.
Does this even bother people other than me???
