Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 10-16-2021
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.
Pic Note: Isabelle Choko was born in 1928 in Poland, where she spent a happy childhood. During the pogroms of the second world war she was sent to the Lódz Ghetto, and then to the Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. She survived, typhoid stricken and weighing just 25 kg (55 lbs.), recovered in Sweden and finally found a home in France. There she nurtured her love for chess, and in 1956 she won the French Women's Championship. Amazingly, she is still alive - 93 years old. She must be one tough lady.

Dress Pr0n For the 'Ettes:
The black and pink #eveningdress here dates to 1945 and is partially made from #blackoutcurtain fabric. During the war, blackout fabric was not subject to rationing so it was a popular cloth for making do @Fashion_Museum #fashionhistory pic.twitter.com/W5jRqHfIHB

Today's #ootd is another of my favorite styles, Lanvin's robe de styles. It's from 1925 and made of black taffeta and lined along the neck and hem with gold and silver chain-stitch embroidery. It's like a gorgeous black tulip! #Fashionhistory pic.twitter.com/ODVFA1laDs

___________ 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.

Wolfus, if you're still around, I have a suggestion for your cat:
Maybe try giving him a small bit of wild salmon, which should be available in your area in either small cans or little envelopes. Cats will like it like it's fish, but it'll be less irritating to their stomachs than tuna can be sometimes. . . .

By the way, someone suggested that I post some of my successful religious exemption statement on this thread. Miss Linda, the major author, would prefer not to do that. What I will do is post the essential points that she made, and perhaps that will inspire those of you who need a framework to begin on your own.

Jeesh she survived Auschwitz. Tough indeed. Boy, she must have some stories to tell. I like her face. What a brain she must have, to really do not too much with chess, struggling for her life an all, and then to become champion just by age 28.
Thank you for the thread! Melania looks great as always.

Speaking of 93 as some may know I've been watching Route 66. Just got through the first season, 30 episodes! Anyhoo.. George Marahis was a damn hunk and I now remember why I was so infatuated with him as a young girl. The man was gorgeous. I thought he died years ago. Nope.. he's 93 living somewhere in Cali.

Last night's Dateline was interesting. It was about a cult leader who styled herself Mother God. Apparently, in earlier incarnations she had been Jesus, Cleopatra, and the Hawaiian volcano god Pele, among others. (Ironically, the only of her impersonations that got her into real trouble was her impersonation of Pele. Don't piss off Hawaiian pagans.). Anyway, she eventually decided she was Donald Trump's daughter. Also, she converted and spoke to dead celebrities such as Robin Williams.

Next came the detail about the vaccines all being made using fetal cell lines, that this was immoral, and that for me to profit from that would put my immortal soul at risk.
Next point, that since the vaccines all tinker with our RNA and DNA, this is usurping God's proper role as Creator and is idolatry. Thus you won't inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Finally, I wound up with my statement of having been a loyal and even honored employee for a total of 27 years, and that I hoped we could reach an accommodation that would pose no hardship to either of us.
Maybe that will help you get started on your statement.

The bad news is he does not seem to be aware - they mentioned something called sensorium. They are investigating whether there is something going on in the brain - did an MRI but haven't yet told the family what it says.
So your continued prayers are requested and deeply appreciated.
Also, on the fundraiser - because of the Paypal issue- some friends have offered to send me donations for me to wire to the family. If any of the horde also wish to do that, I can give you my venmo.
Just email me - votermom at g m a i l
They are grateful for any amount, specially as a lot of the tests are "pay first".
Thank you for all your support and kindness.

She converted from being Mother God to what?
I would think if you could prove that you were Donald Trump's daughter it would be more lucrative than being Pele.
And what was the purpose of this Dateline report. To make it sound like all religious people are nutcases, or some connection with Trump?

Ya know, the purpose of the shot requirement is to show that the State is your god and can force you to do self-harm because it is your lord and master. I don't think you need to be particularly devout in your beliefs to have a good reason to not serve the State as your god.
Of course, I believe that everyone should trust Christ Jesus to save them from sin and death and should serve Him with a glad heart all of their days. This is another good reason to not serve the State when the true God is the One we should serve.

No, she made headlines a year or so ago because when she died, her disciples drug her corpse around and worshipped it. Eventually, she was found in a followers bed in his bedroom which had been decorated with Christmas lights and what not to make it garishly holy.
They talked to several former followers and the thrust, I would say, is that even responsible, intelligent people can fall for this hokum. They mentioned that recruiting was good during the covid lockdown hysteria. Her spiel was all about peace, love, and understanding with UFOs, reincarnation, environmentalism, and a hodge podge of other new agey crap thrown in. I was surprised that she lowered herself to claim relation to Trump.

I took the same tact, citing the same letter from the Military Services Archbishop, a letter from 4 bishops in CO, citing the fetal cells used to develop the vaccines, my long time KofC membership and pro-life activities, etc. My tact essentially said while the Pope says you can take the vaccine, it should only be for urgent need (like you work in the ER) and I'm a software engineer and I work in a private office or at home. If that doesn't work next step is probably to lawyer up.

I've been musing as to this line of argument:
"I am pleased to see that you and I agree that we don't own our own body and conscience. Where we disagree is to who owns both our body and conscience. You believe that the State and your current employer jointly owns you as chattel and can freely dictate what they can do with your body and your conscience. I on the other hand have been purchased by Christ's blood to be His own, and to Him I serve. Your master believes that you are fundamentally unfit to live unless you are modified by this a constant stream of gene therapy. Whereas I am transformed by the Paraclete.
No one can serve two masters, for you will hate the one and love the other.

Chess ratings. A '500' is pretty close to being an absolute beginner and '1500' is about average for a club player, maybe a bit below. By comparison, grandmasters are typically rated > 2600.

I've asked HR:
- Will the company accept liability for adverse reactions?
- How many employees have died from Covid? (Current answer: we don't know)
- How many employees have been hospitalized by Covid? (Current answer: We don't know)
I've asked these questions at multiple levels no response. Not holding my breath for one.
Also got called into HR for not wearing my mask over my nose (have an overweigh Karen in the office who kept reporting me). Asked above questions, and for a written response. Was told 'We don't do written responses.'
Since I'm not getting the clot-shot, plan to go full Honey Badger when I'm fired....

Oh, and also 'ELO' is actually a name, Arpad Elo, who invented the ratings calculation formula. While developed for chess, it's based purely on statistics and depends not at all on chess itself, so any one-on-one sport can use it to assess relative player strengths. I think pro tennis uses version of Elo ratings.

I know of some dude who has/had a significant position at Raytheon, works remote, yet was informed of the "mandate" weeks ago to make a decision as to who owns his body. I think he and his family have moved out into the sticks to take a stab at self-sufficient living. His FiL is furious that he is leaving a good gig over something so simple as the mRNA injection.
I'm sure China would love to know what this guy knows - and his employer and his government is basically pushing him in to the arms of a foreign entity. Why be patriotic when your employer and your nation hates you?

Wear the respirator.
When they demand you not wear the respirator, confirm that they want you to remove an actual protective mechanism rated against contaminates in order to don a fashion mask with pictures of Mickey Mouse on it.

When Obama came along their "racist" roots took hold and many of the electorate drifted right. I put racist in quotes because the majority of West Virginians aren't racist, but they're very suspicious of "outsiders." Obama was an outsider.
In 2016 they overwhelmingly voted for Trump over Clinton and much was made about the misogynic hicks in the hills. Clinton promised to close coal mines and rob the locals of their means to survive. A huge mistake.
Throughout this ordeal Manchin watched. He's a bullshitter and a leftist at heart, but I think he's seeing a bit more clearly these days. It won't stop him from siding with his leftist brethren, but it is giving him pause.
If the Democrats attack him he very well may jump ship.

Truth. Yet people like Manchin haven't been exposed to this. They've been background noise. A Democrat vote regardless of the topic. However things have changed politically for a lot of people on both sides of the so called aisle.
An effort is underway to consolidate power under the "UniParty" and it's making great strides. I find it interesting that there are people like Manchin and Sinema who are on the "other side" feeling some pangs of guilt while there's nobody on the GOP side with similar feelings.
At least they're not vocal about it. Which unto itself is very telling.

United States Chess Federation ratings what it was called back when I was playing. My last USCF rating was about 1700, but only averaged 4 tournaments a year. Wonder what that would be in current system.
Like back in High School, 4.0 was the highest Grade Point Average. Now it's 5.0... Inflation I guess

I hate those stupid car alarms that make a huge racket. Nobody ever responds to them. First, because they false so often the default assumption on the part of bystanders is that the person entering the car is the owner, and second, even if they believe that person is a thief, nobody is going to try to confront a thief stealing somebody else's car.
The only car alarm to have is one that causes a pager in your own pocket to beep. Then you can rush out, and apply tire iron therapy to the miscreant.
