Ghislaine of YOSPOS posted:I just stepped on the biggest rake of all time. I'd played God's own chess game up to the very last move: I think the main thing to note is that it would’ve cost you practically nothing to play h3 and give yourself a way out, your opponent has absolutely nothing going for them

neaden posted:Sure, a company that just bought Magnus' chess app would never do something to make their cash cow happy, private companies always act in the interest of justice and fairness. I'm sure chess.com has secret proof that Hans cheated on an OTB tournament they didn't run but just won't reveal it. Somehow, out of everyone in this thread, you come across as the conspiracy theorist

former glory posted:They didn't even stop for a second to think about how preposterous the anal bead form factor is for housing a microcontroller and wireless module when a plug just makes perfect sense. And the plug stays in place for the rhythmic contraction input. Chess and teledildonics, together at last!

Morrow posted:Look, I've commented this before, but chess.com is absolutely not a reliable source for any data or conclusions here. There is no independent audit and they have a financial incentive to bolster the reputation of Magnus Carlsen, who is Hans's chief accuser and whom they recently entered into a major partnership with. WSJ posted:The report also addresses the relationship during the saga between Carlsen and Chess.com, which is buying Carlsen’s “Play Magnus” app for nearly $83 million. The report says that while Carlsen’s actions at the Sinquefield Cup prompted them to reassess Niemann’s behavior, Carlsen “didn’t talk with, ask for, or directly influence Chess.com’s decisions at all.” Rensch had previously said that Chess.com had never shared a list of cheaters or the platform’s cheat detection algorithm with Carlsen. If they're lying about this then it probably tanks their entire business. Put the tinfoil down.

Unless I'm missing something it's white by a long shot, though the size of the lead depends on who is next to move. If it's white to move, you win the game immediately with 1. Qxc2 Rxc2 2. d7. If it's black to move, I don't see how you prevent white from playing Rxb6 and eventually getting the pawn promoted with that rook

Yeah alternatively black can still win the a pawn there with 1…Kc7 2. Na5 Rxa4

Yeah people were flagging up about Harvey Weinstein at the turn of the millennium. With libel how it is, it's easy for an open secret to stay that way and not actually become public knowledge or have any real consequences

FIDE and top male GMs have long held that men are inherently better at chess than women. This decision isn't surprising, it's just them saying the quiet part out loud

Olothreutes posted:I know I'm reading this wrong, but oh boy does it look like black has two light square bishops to white's two dark square bishops. Which I guess is possible via promotion but what a weird rear end situation to invent. You're not wrong that's exactly what's happening here

With 5 seconds on the clock I'm playing e7 like you did, with more time I probably end up playing Be4 with a view to playing d6 and opening up everything on the left-hand side of the board

It also helps that Qf3/Qh5 isn't really a very good opening move, so if you don't fall for scholar's mate you're laughing
