Saturday Afternoon Chess Thread 02-22-2020
TheJamesMadison 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 - Black To Play (Chess 4347) Goal: White can force mate in 3 moves
Hint:
4k3/1p3pp1/p1r1p3/P3Pn1p/3N1q2/1P5P/6K1/1Q1RB3 b - - 0 1
Maia
Intermediate Problem - Black To Play (1104) Goal: At the very least, Black can win a rook
Hint: A quick back-rank mate is not possible in this position
r5k1/3R3p/6pP/1p6/8/1PP4R/P4rP1/K7 b - - 0 1
A Fully Automatic Electronic Chessboard:
Advanced Problem - White To Play (1108 ) How does White win? Goal/Hint: White can force a checkmate in 8 moves

Dress Pr0n For The 'Ettes:
Today's #ootd is a 1905-07 dress worn by the Russian Empress Maria Feodorovna (also the sister of Queen Alexandria). It is simple but so elegant and looks surprisingly cozy for this time of year. @state_hermitage #FashionHistory pic.twitter.com/JknFlz4yUF

Greetings From Iceland
Bonus Melania:

2.Kh1 Qf1+
3.Kh2 Qg2# or if 2.Kg1 then Qf1+ 3.Kh2 Qg2#
Intermediate Problem - Black To Play
r5k1/3R3p/6pP/1p6/8/1PP4R/P4rP1/K7 b - - 0 1
2. Kb1 Ra1+
3. Kc2 Not 3.Kb2 because then 3...R8a2# 3...R8a2+
4.Kd3 Rd1+
5.Ke4 Rxd7 and wins
Advanced Problem - White To Play
r2qnrk1/pp4b1/2npb1p1/2pN1pP1/4P2Q/8/PPP1BP2/R1B1K1NR w KQ f6 0 1
2.Qxg6+ Kxg6 not 2...Kg8 because 3.Qh7+ Kf7 4.Bh5#. Black has to take the queen. 3.Bh5+ Kh7
4.Bf7+ Bh6
5.g6+! Do not be tempted by 5.Rxh6+ Kg7 6.Bxe6 fxe4 7.Be3 Nc7 8.O-O-O Nxe6 9.Rxe6 Rf5 and the win has evaporated.
5...Kg7
6.Bxh6+ Kh8
7.Bxf8+ Qh4
8.Rxh4# Again, the mate is a ways out, but the decision tree doesn't have many branches on it. 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.

Huh. "-tochter" is an Icelandic suffix? I thought Icelandic names either ended in "son" or "dottir".
In this case, the latter. Her name is Arna Yr Jonsdottir and I took out the accents because they tend to make pixy barf.

At first, I was pissed at Clint for coming out for this guy.
Then I thought strategically instead of emotionally (like Lefties) and thought, "if I was famous and had the ability to affect the votes of others, and thought that Bernie was a danger if he ran my country, and I liked what Trump is doing, how could I best help?
By splitting the party and have them fight each other in public.

The Queen (soveriegn in general) is the "fount of all honor" per the (unwritten) Brit constitutional convention.
All titles and such belong to the monarch. She giveth and she taketh away. She can make them up at will. For example she could create the Buckingham Palace janitor the "Duke of Fuckstick" if she wanted to,

divide by 7, carry the 3, add a couple for good measure, and that means that is a 33 year old Melania!

Who do they think actually owns them? Doesn't the queen do things like declare Elton John a Knight, so he be called Sir Elton John? I think she can give titles and she can take them away.
Posted by: Jen the original at February
Guessing she does not "own" them everywhere but she has never had to go through the issue of claiming them either.
Guessing megs is going to get taught some manners the hard way about who is whom in the world of royalty.
There are enough toadys and wannabes that are going to bend and scrape and lick the queens boots for an invite that megs is going to be back to yacht girling.

Melania Trump brought her signature stilettos to the NASCAR Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Sunday.
The 49-year-old first lady was clad in a black-and-white midi dress from Christian Dior, which she belted at the waist with a laser-cut white leather belt from Alaia, available on Net-a-Porter.com for $1,370.
On her feet, Trump wore her go-to power pumps, choosing Christian Louboutin's So Kate silhouette. The style has a 4.75-inch heel, a pointed toe and a low-cut topline, a feature that serves to elongate the length of the leg. Nordstrom.com stocks the classic pumps for $675.

Using "royal" in a trademark requires the permission of the monarch forever. It used to apply in Canada (and presumably most of the commonwealth) but it seems to have been dropped since the 1970s ... wikipedia has details how commonwealth rules work ... complicated.

I hate to pick at you, but you missed the (pretty much meaningless) blocking move 7...Qh4. Followed by mate with the rook. So you were a move off. It's a forced mate in 8, not 7.
But, my nitpicking aside, you did good work.

I have a dear friend who worked in corporate for 25 years. They treated her like shit when they decided to downsize and hire a bunch of "young blood." She ended up quitting, thereby losing a hefty payout and took 2 years to find a comparable job.
They have taken a huge hit, having to close stores in Seattle, and their Flagship store downtown is turning into a cesspool.

Who's Philip Haney ?
The guy that sold the farm to Mr. Douglas ?
Posted by: JT at February 22, 2020 05:51 PM (arJlL)
TGP summary:
DHS whistleblower Philip Haney was found dead on Friday.
The whistleblower against the Obama administration was shot dead near his vehicle in California.
Haney told Sean Hannity in 2016 that he was ordered during the Obama administration to scrub the record of Muslims in the US with terrorist ties.
The story of his death has still not been reported by the mainstream media.
Haney had been missing since Wednesday.
Philip Haney said political correctness during the Obama years killed the investigation that might have stopped the San Bernardino Christmas terrorists.
from Law Enforcement Today:
https://tinyurl.com/thcy7yb
Multiple sources tell us that Philip's body was discovered outside San Francisco, CA, last night. The current indications point to him being shot to death.
It is unclear when it happened or how. The details are still emerging. As soon as we have more information, we will provide an update.
Friends of Haney told us that they spoke with Haney earlier this week and he'd never been happier.
They've suggested there's absolutely no way he would have taken his own life, and reinforce that he's had many enemies since he blew the whistle on the Obama administration.
Close friends of Haney tell us that his wife lost her battle with cancer in 2019. Haney was engaged to be married later this year. The author of See Something, Say Nothing was preparing to go back on the road in advance of the upcoming election. He was currently living in California, just west of San Francisco.
In 2018, Haney told Intercessors for America prayer activists that he had been working on a special assignment in Minnesota to stop Rep. Keith Ellison from being elected Minnesota's Attorney General.
As we approach the 2020 elections, friends of Haney's told us he was planning on doubling down on efforts to protect America from progressive leftists socialists.
....
Too early to call what actually happened. Maybe he shot himself, right?

I really hope Virginia might lead the way on this. If we're going to have a national divorce it makes sense for the red counties to break away and either form their own states or join red ones as the easiest path.

Yeah but the whaling ban started in the 70s so they do not use that much now.
gafffers tape
Posted by: not so
metal boning was used in the 80's and 90's. It didn't feel great, but the bodice wasn't going anywhere.
Today, wardrobe malfunctions are no big deal, so i guess they don't worry about boning or stays as much. Tape isn't going to do much for big breasted women.

The outside of the ballot envelope requires you to declare D or R with a statement that you will not work for the other party.
If you do not check one or the other your ballot is tossed and not counted.

Winston, you are right to be pissed off.
WA changed their primary to be a "top two" vote getters, from the traditional top R and top D, over a decade ago. US Supreme court decision in 2008 sealed the deal.
Why does it matter what party I may be from?
Heck, our voting rolls are so corrupt here anyway, with 25 years of Motor Voter "YOU get to vote, non-citizen, and YOU get to vote, non-citizen, and YOU get to vote, non-citizen", just lie like Democrats do all the time.

IDK about that. If Bernie gets the nomination, there's a real chance he could scare off enough normies that President Trump takes some surprising states. If he gets screwed out of the nomination again, the Bernie Bros might keep their promise of going apeshit. Either way, invest heavily in popcorn futures.

It's funny how some things never change. Lots of people still hand-wring about how to get boys interested in reading. Simple: write about things boys (and men) relate to. I read two things in eighth grade which convinced me reading fiction was not a bad way to spend time: The Odyssey, and Call of the Wild. Both featuring action, adventure, adversity.
The sad thing is that I guarantee you that if I went through a book order form from school today (if they still have them; remember those?), it will be chock full of books that will be quite uninteresting to male readers. And no one will make the connection. And the hand-wringing and whining will continue.

I may have read every HB story when I was in 6th grade.
I enjoyed the language they used, like when an unexpected thing happened to one of the Boys, the response was "Hello!" or "Hello?"
Stuff you never hear in the beginning of the third decade of the century following the one it was written in.

The Kehlsteinhaus (known as the Eagle's Nest in English-speaking countries) is a Third Reich-era building erected atop the summit of the Kehlstein, a rocky outcrop that rises above the Obersalzberg near the town of Berchtesgaden.
It was used exclusively by members of the Nazi Party for government and social meetings. It was visited on 14 documented instances by Adolf Hitler, who disliked the location due to his fear of heights, the risk of bad weather, and the thin mountain air.
Today it is open seasonally as a restaurant, beer garden, and tourist site.

Where I have lunched.
There were was an uncomfortable moment on the train over from Salzburg, when a couple of German Polizei walking through the car stopped and asked for my papers. One of them took my passport and left the car while the other stood over me.
Eventually the other guy came back and returned my passport. There wasn't really any conversation.
I was grabbed later by the Belgian police, with a repeat, except that they took me to room and searched me. Decidedly unfriendly, no sense of humor at all, and one held an MP5.
My best guess is that I bore some resemblance to a Baader-Meinhof guy.

Trust me, the Left in Seattle loves them some Bernie.
But Bernie wants to tear down the system that made them rich as all get-out (nothing wrong with that).

DNK about other areas, but around Seattle, there are two bars that now have axe throwing as their main draw.
Not pool. not video games. not electronic golfing.
Axe throwing. And alcohol.
They are popular places, too.

It is the second richest zip code in WA state, next to Island County. That is the San Juan Islands, where after they make their millions living in Medina, they move to the San Juans to retire.
They have their own police force in this small community, and if you drive down one of the streets where local celebrities, such as Coach Pete Carroll of the Seahawks live, you are followed as you drop off an acquaintance to a home a few doors away.
And then stared at, and followed until you leave the city limits.
No need to axe me how I know.
