Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 11-20-2021

No movie thread is scheduled for today. 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 (1467)

Goal: White can force mate in 2 moves
Hint: Deflect Black's king to the back rank and then POW

4n1R1/4q2k/3p3r/3Pp3/2r1Pp2/5P2/6QP/6RK w - - 0 1

The Chess Cycle

Intermediate Problem - White To Play (1468 )

Goal: White can force mate in 4 moves
Hint: The knight needs to be brought in on a checking move

3rk2r/pp3ppp/2nQB3/8/5p2/4nN2/PPP3PP/2KR4 w k - 0 1

Advanced Problem - White To Play (1466)

KQ v. KP endgames can be tricky if the pawn is far advanced, as in this position. To win, obviously White must win the pawn free and clear. Show how this is to be done.

Dress Pr0n For the 'Ettes:

Today's #ootd is this 1909-10 Madame Hayward evening dress. It is made of ivory satin overlaid with black silk net covered with thousands, if not millions, of tiny silver sequins. It was even featured in Janet Arnold's famous "Patterns of Fashion." @MuseumofLondon #Fashionhistory pic.twitter.com/bqxhY3x315

It makes for a fascinating comparison to see Alexandre Cabanel’s rendering of Louise van Loon-Borken in her 1887 Worth dress alongside the garment itself. Was it ever as bright as the painting suggests? Or has time drained it of colour? Painting @MuseumVanLoon, dress unknown pic.twitter.com/zAlsPIYa4S

Bonus Shoe Pr0n:

Why settle for a plain shoe when you can have a glittery one?

From killer heels to flashy flats, these shiny shoes have been designed to make a statement. Which would you wear? pic.twitter.com/qxG1iTzIXA

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.

Delilah, basically, walked at today's Midwest Borzoi Club specialty, held concurrently with the Lima KC event. Her Majesty said the judge, an old Borzoi breeder who last had an assignment years ago, got lost and just overlooked Lila.

From a Best in Show to not making it out of breed two days later. That's dog shows.

George: Who invaded Spain in the Eighth Century?
Bubble Boy: That's a joke - the Moors.
George: Oh no - I'm so sorry, it's the Moops. The correct answer is the Moops.
Bubble Boy: Moops? Let me see that. That's not Moops, you jerk. It's Moors. It's a misprint.
George: Sorry, the card says Moops.

33 The Madame Hayward dress makes me realize that I've really come to appreciate the lines of the Edwardian dresses, particularly when contrasted with the bizarre silhouettes of the late Victorian era. They're almost like the contrast between the late 1700s (think Marie Antoinette) and early 1800s (think Jane Austen).

47 Advanced begins:

1. Qd4+ K any
2. Qc3

There are only 3 K moves and black is forced to put the K on c1 or white can take the pawn after 3. Qd3+ (unless the K is already on c1). Now white can advance the K every time black hides on c1 and can take the pawn directly if black moves to the a or e files.

84 There are only 3 K moves and black is forced to put the K on c1 or white can take the pawn after 3. Qd3+ (unless the K is already on c1). Now white can advance the K every time black hides on c1 and can take the pawn directly if black moves to the a or e files.

Posted by: You Really Don't Want to Know at November 20, 2021 05:53 PM (Sz733)

That's what I originally thought, too, but it doesn't quite go that way. Black's king is forced to hide on c1 once and only once.

The solution involves a tricky move wherein Black is allowed to queen his pawn.

Judkins talked about how the series will compare to other fantasy stories audiences may already be familiar with. He noted that when the books first released in 1990, they were quite revolutionary, with an ensemble cast, multiple points of view in the narrative, and the fact that the main characters were split between men and women instead of focusing heavily on one gender. He went on to recognize that The Wheel of Time is heavily influenced by eastern philosophies like Hinduism and Buddhism, and that at the end of the day the story isn't so much a fight over good versus evil as it is an attempt to restore a sense of balance to the world.

Did you notice he's 18. The last really young player over 2700 was Wei Yi who stalled out about 2740.

People are saying he could break 2800 younger than Magnus. Magnus was 18 but nearly 19 while Alireza only turned 18 recently.

Smash & I saw it today in the theater. Dialog was slow in some places, they should've given Ant Man more screen time. Overall, solid B- -to- C+. Exactly what it was billed to be, a fsmily movie following the ghostbusters theme. It has two cuts in the credits. The 2nd one is funny.

Theater is an 18 screen place. We caught a noon show. There weren't enough cars in the parking lot to pay for the staff running the joint. I believe theaters are going out of business, divest yoir stocks if you still have any in those business lines.

Just watched The Critical Drinker's review last night. He said it's great for respecting the original movie and characters, but lacking in story. Said he wished they would have done more with the background story of the bad guys. But overall he liked it and is nice sometimes for a movie to give fans what they want.

102 Adadmator had the game where his rating is 2799. Think he said Alireza would be the youngest player to reach 2800

Posted by: I'm the Honey Badger, BITCH! at November 20, 2021 06:02 PM (9BID/)

He was 2798.9 behind Ding Liren. Agadmator said 2799 because FIDE rounds up but the new rating list comes out monthly and he might drop if he lost a game. Today he drew with Grischuk but his starting rating was 3 points behind Grischuk so there was no gain or loss.

I think there is one game left in the tournament and he's likely to be up against someone he can beat because it's a team tournament.

"Outlaw/King" is very much a historical action flick in the olde-fashioned Hollywood mold. It concerns the story of Robert the Bruce after William Wallace was killed.

Chris Pine(?), anyway the Kirk Mach 2.0 guy, is actually quite good as the Bruce. Action, romance, a bit of on-point and historical gore.

Doesn't reinvent the wheel but you have a good time.

Check it out.

"Red Notice" is a basic nuevo-Hollywood action flick with the Rock, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Godot.

It's fun and silly. a goodish timekiller.

Absolutely. Portland in fact did have a riot last night. They tried breaking in at the Justice Center to burn it down.
The cops retreated but no entry was made. I haven't seen anything in Seattle but the local media does try to cover it up. I did see some kids on the streets this morning with signs but they were selling pumpkin pies for Thursday.
I'd already ordered one or I would've gotten one.

Rittenhouse should never been tried. Entire event wouldn't have happened if the police hadn't stood down, and Rittenhouse was clearly acting to not get killed.

Harder case is when someone shoots to stop arson. The literal crazies recruited by Antifa want to burn the world down. Unless someone is willing to shoot them, they won't stop.

So I'll be dishonest. When they ask if I got it, I'll just say, well, I work at the hospital, duh. Everyone had to have it by Dec 5th.

It was in the low forties here today but hardly a breeze so the bay was completely calm which is a rarity. Only saw one sailboat barely making way but a number of boats out fishing and of course the commercial lobster guys. We've had a beautiful fall but I don't think it will last much longer.

254 Saw a comment regarding Richards below.

I don't think he was referring to Barnes in his comment to the press. There was another lawyer who turned out to be a grifter, who was originally on the case. Barnes involvement in the trial had to do with jury selection only, and that is what he has been critical of all along. Barnes felt that there was too much risk not fighting for a good jury, and risking a random jury.

Since the lead Karen ended up as the foreman, he has a point. Deliberations would have taken a few hours with a better jury.

I don't think there is sniping between Barnes and Richards, and I do know that Barnes concern all along has been about Kyle.

There is also a legal issue regarding the $2M bail. Legally, that goes back to the people who posted the bond, it doesn't go to Kyle. Barnes had negotiated a settlement for Kyle and family to keep about $1M of it. But the guy running the show (not Richards) fired Barnes from the team, because he wants part of that bail.

From what I can tell both Richards (from his press conference) and Barnes are concerned that the guy running the show is going to use Kyle as a cash cow.
