Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 10-17-2020
Mariam Mansour (UAE)
Pic Note: Zombie from last week:
OK, here she is: The girl whom everyone in the chess world agrees is the most beautiful chess player ever to play a rated game -- a low-level player on the United Arab Emirates women's team in the Chess Olympiad several years back.Couple of things: I'm not sure I agree she's *the* most beautiful chessplayer. Or, at least, I'd need to see more photographs before I'd make that assessment. I'll let you morons decide for yourselves. Unfortunately, as zombie noted, there just aren't that many photographs of her online. Also, Mansour's FIDE page is blank, no ratings, no demographic info, not much of anything. Which is kind of weird. It's like she doesn't exist. But zombie provided a link to one of her games, so we know she actually was a tournament player, however briefly. Not sure why she disappeared.
Here name is Mariam Mansour. She only ever played a few games, back in 2006.
She appeared out of the blue, played a few games for the UAE team, then was never seen again. Dazzling. She was FIDE rated in the 1800s.

Dress Pr0n For The 'Ettes:
So many of you guessed right! The items in my last post all were made of human hair. It was a popular Victorian mourning practice to have a loved one's hair incorporated into jewelry. Perhaps it would have gone with today's #ootd, this 1889 Worth walking suit. #FashionHistory pic.twitter.com/A61tjyDXkZ

This week's super late #TsarinaSaturday is Maria Feodorovna's 1899-1900 French after dinner dress. By this time she was the Dowager Empress, as her husband died in 1894. She lived another 34 years after his death. #FashionHistory pic.twitter.com/5iYHnXOccf

___________ 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.

Well, see, with people there are other things mixed in with the love, stuff like occasional resentment or jealousy. You love your aged mother, but you resent the time you spend taking her to the grocery, etc. Then you feel guilty, which is another thing in the mix.
With our animals . . . it's all about the love.

As a veteran of many Oktoberfests, I can tell you that Germans get just as drunk as the rest of us.
The mugs/steins hold one liter. The typical fest mugs are made of glass but the smaller fests and local breweries and gasthouses will use clay mugs. I have a nice collection from my years in Germany.
My favorites are one from Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, and one from Kulmbach which is from a monastery. It is beautifully painted. And there is my dreaded 3 liters mug from Baren-Brau in Neustadt o.d. Waldnaab. I have only filled it and emptied it twice, once when I left Germany and again when I retired from the Army.
It is a party in a mug!

UPS'd a care package for the Tx MoMe on Thursday.
store staff says it was picked up.
(i went by in person, we've been using them for many years)
tracking number still shows "shipment ready for UPS" as of just now.
talked to an American yesterday, who said it had made it to Van Nuys, and that the scans were just delayed...
talked to the Philippines today, who told me i had to track it, because they had no info...
pretty sure i burned their ears out before i hung up.
if anyone has any good suggestions, e-mail me at the addy in my nick, por favor.

No , zombie. She is not pretty. Has nothing to do with West vs East. Nose out of whack, mouth too small for the rest of feature - overall not very good looking. The only thing that makes her ok to look at, is her youth and eye color. There is no "Western" vs "Eastern" standard of beauty.

The only women who were disgusted at it were ones who didn't like-and wouldn't vote for- Trump anyway. It was supposed to be a town hall. Not a lot of people got to ask questions. If NBC wanted to just have an interview with President Trump and Ms. Guthrie they should have called it that.

A classic theme: hurl all the rooks one after the other at the black king with check, saccing both, simply to make way for the queen to check in the corner, then sac the N on bishop-six to clear way for the bishop.
Three sacs in a row in the "line-clearing" theme! Superb.

The real "problem move" black has to deal with is white's Nf5, which covers the mating square on g3 momentarily, but more importantly then allows the pawn to move forward with f4-f5, givng the white king "luft" (as they say in German and Yiddish).
I don't want to commit to posting the "solution" until I see all the possible flaws. Haven't done so yet.

Way way WAY over the top current events type garbage themes.
I won't spoil too much for those who intend to watch it, but there's an immigration storyline, and a "cool" congresswoman who is clearly meant to resemble a certain bug eyed former barmaid from New York.
Really hits it so blatantly, I haven't even bothered to finish watching the last episode. I might, just to see, but it's garbage.
Then I noticed Seth Rogan is involved in the production.

I was there with some 8-10 College Republicans. I chatted with them about two of their professors I knew outside of class. One blinked at me saying her Interior Design Professor was a fantastic cook. I was friends with her husband.
And I discusses governance philosophy.
They laughed when I answered the f*** Trump from college age women with "Thanks, Karen." Lot more support that hate, but the hate was there for sure.

hate Wagner. I tried to sit throughs a few of his operas. Never was I
able to make it thorough the first act. Had to leave. It's not music.
It's a collection of notes. I don't understand how normal people can
sit through 4, 5, 6 hours of that crap. Sopme opera houses do the whole
RING cycle and pretend it is music, and people in the audience pretend
they understand. And overweight opera singers (mind you, the music is
so overconcocted very few larynxes can work with it) sweat their best
thought it. Poor things. Klingon opera is more musical.

Big Dan once came down to the gate of her pen and she drove him off; it was funny to see this hulking boy fleeing the little girl.

I asked her if she wanted me to show her how to look like Selma in that movie, and when she said yes, I took a lock of her hair and held it sideways above both of her eyes.
She was not amused for some reason. I just about fell over laughing.

Meh, the Maginot Line gets an undeserved bad rep. The plan was always to fight the Germans in Belgium: the purpose of the ML was to prevent the Germans from attacking elsewhere, thus allowing the French to concentrate their forces in a battle in a small area where German numerical superiority would be neutralized, and the French would have Belgian and British assistance. The failures were mostly due to politics which prevented its extension along the Belgian border, as well as the belief that the Germans couldn't attack through the Ardennes.

Frida Kahlo was Mexican, and I believe Salma was born in Veracruz and was raised in Mexico, and the joke actually was that Frida was famous for her unibrow.
However, I could be wrong. I just know that my coworker was entranced with the movie, which mystified me. I mean, Unibrow, Communist, slept with Trotsky while he stayed with her and Diego, meh painter, cheated on by her husband with her sister, and is known mostly because she has the most iconic eyebrow until Brezhnev

Right, but what I'm saying is, I don't believe they used the term "manic-depressive" in the movie. The term may have come into use AFTER the movie was made.
What I'm saying is, given the way he played the character, it was clearly bipolar disorder, and if I remember correctly, later in life Piersall was clear in saying that's what he suffered from.

Two sources familiar with the matter told NBC on Thursday night bureau chiefs are looking into the possibility that the email cache - allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden - may have been unearthed with help from a power hostile to the US, such as Russia.
That's it go after the Russia angle. Don't look into the Biden crime family. Trump needs to declare the FBI an enemy of the country, shut it down and ship the lot of them to GITMO.

This is devestating for Biden.
All of the polls showing a Biden lead, the respondants claimed they have ALREADY voted, and Biden leads among them 3:1.
60% Democrats polled nationwide day they will vote early, vs 30% GOP. Democrats must outnumber Republicans but 30-40 points in early voting to overcome election day where 2 of every 3 votes will be for Trump.
If Democrats don't pick up the pace in Michigan, Trump will win by a landslide in the state.
Biden has no realistic path if he loses FL and MI.

the late 70s and early 80s Jimmy Piersall and Harry Carey used to be
the announcers for White Sox games. I think they spent half of the time
arguing with each other. You don't know what you're talking about Harry.
You don't know what you're talking about Jimmy.
Those two were great together. Piersall was batshit crazy though and wasn't afraid to rip the Sox when they played bad. I think at some point management had enough and got rid of him and Harry went to the Cubs.

This is devestating for Biden.
All of the polls showing a Biden lead, the respondants claimed they have ALREADY voted, and Biden leads among them 3:1.
60% Democrats polled nationwide day they will vote early, vs 30%
GOP. Democrats must outnumber Republicans but 30-40 points in early
voting to overcome election day where 2 of every 3 votes will be for
Trump.
If Democrats don't pick up the pace in Michigan, Trump will win by a landslide in the state.
Biden has no realistic path if he loses FL and MI.

The sensors are long since over-loaded, the language exhausted, the national degradation off the charts, but this "white supremacy" thing is making a run to crack the highly competitive top few spots for unbelievable idiocy.
Racism in the form of "affirmative action", quotas, preferences, absurd racist indoctrination ("CRT"), even "reparations" proposals has defaced the constitution, the country, the society, for years. Its impact is getting people killed, lives and neighborhoods destroyed, and turning half the country into idiotic emotional 10-yr olds.
It's real, and it's spectacular.
"White supremacy" is a phrase without any real world meaning, any program, any political organization or even idea, any public understanding, interest, or sympathy.
"Journalists" might as well demand Trump denounce the Martian colony established in New Jersey that's kidnapping thousands of children every week to use as food, or the ghosts and spirits that have taken over NORAD, expelled the Air Force personnel, and are trying to foment nukyler combat with the russkis.
It's beyond absurd, very disturbing, and Trump and others playing along with this bizarre idiocy is disappointing, to say the least.

Yesterday he had a segment where he said they went back to their flawed 2016 polling and made fixes and then applied those fixes to 2020. (I expect this was mostly flawed Turnout assumptions.) Lo and behold, Trump is now ahead in most of the battlegrounds and close in the others.

I'll have to check, but it's possible they explain it better in the book. In a way that makes more sense in their universe. If I recall correctly though, this was one detail they didn't change from the book to the show, how Translucent was gotten to.
The book is at least as, if not more gory than the show. There are things they aren't willing to do in the show, and what's bugging me more than anything about it is how two-dimensional they can make it all look, on a teevee show with all the budget and live humans acting, whereas on a page of a comic book, characters are more fleshed out, more real, more complex.

Skip - it's kind of obvious but I've said it here this week. If things go as they well might - Trump margins in FL, NC, NH - even VA, even a losing score, but very very close - it may indeed be an early night, as a practical matter. Because these things will be unlikely to be accompanied by losses in the Midwest.

It isn't going to happen, but I'd like to hear President Trump say something like:
"I condemn both the concept of 'superficially identifiable' supremacy, and that of #SuperficiallyIdentifiablePrivilege as being contrary to our Constitution.
I believe that either "All Lives Matter!" or our society will evolve into "No Lives Matter!".
I believe that Constitutional laws should be equally enforced on, and obeyed by, all legal citizens."

If you're struggling with Wagner, you could try some Sibelius. He mostly hates Russians which I think is still at least semi-okay and has written lots and lots some with stirring martial aires. Finnish music goes well with a bottle of almost anything.
