Tinsley remarked, "You're going to regret that." Chinook resigned after move 36, fully 26 moves later Marion Tinsley plays chinook (Checker AI) Why is this a greater picture than Deepblue beating Garry Kasparov? In 1992 Marion Tinsley beat Chinook, and since Chinook won 1990, Chinook would be allowed to challenge the 1st place for national title - but was REFUSED by American Checkers Federation and English Draughts Association, since it was non-human. Tinsley resigned his WORLD champion title in order to be allowed to play Chinook. After 6 games of draws, Tinsley had to withdraw due to health reasons... 7 months later he died, still the best checker player ever to live in many peoples eyes. Huge respect to Tinsley. The other man in that picture is Jonathan Schaeffer. He used to be the chair of my computer science department, now he's vice provost. You should seriously considering reading his book. It's an incredible and heartbreaking story, when you hear it in full. (And chinook actually defeated tinsley a few times). When Schaeffer solved checkers a few years ago, he gave us a lecture and told the story. oblig pic ![[image loading]](http://mediastore.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR3/6/2/c/e/NYC14473.jpg) | ||

I just think that saying the picture says "lets suck the last piece of money that we can get out of this shit girl like the good capitalist we are" isn't entirely fair. We don't even know if those journalists helped the girl or not. We don't even know what they thought about the situation. If he says that none of those people care about human life and that they only care about money, then it's based on very very little and it's an unfair statement. I'm entirely with Travis on this one. My picture was there to remember us how nearly all those pictures came to life, and to learn to have some distance with them. | ||

That is a common myth, Polish cavalry mainly fought as dragoons (dismounted). Of the the few cavalry charges they did commit to, most we actually successful.

That's actually a myth, yes they used horses in the war but they didn't attempt to take on heavy armour with them, that would just be straight up suicidal. During the German Invasion of Poland in 1939, there is no evidence of Polish Cavalry mounting a brave but futile charge against German tanks using lances and sabres. This seems to have its origins in German propaganda efforts following the Charge at Krojanty in which a Polish cavalry brigade surprised German infantry in the open and charged with sabres until driven off by armoured cars. While Polish cavalry still carried the sabre for such opportunities, they were trained to fight as highly mobile, dismounted infantry and issued with light anti-tank weapons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions#Modern_history Anyway, some pics: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/XYY8B.jpg) British troops going over the top during WW1. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tFHxH.jpg) US Forces in the Pacific Campaign during WW2. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HWbhK.jpg) View from one of the landing craft on D-Day. | ||
