This Thorin drama with IEM is so silly. If you watch the video in whole, it wasn't even offensive.

they’ve got that existential hole of being Polish to try and fill with some esports.

Maybe, it’s like when you have the Olympics somewhere in Africa and they can all pretend they’re part of the developed world for two weeks, and then everyone just leaves and they’re still in the dirt.

Now that I'm not on my phone and can view the board: teut is correct, Take the fork and most likely the knight for free.

White has three choices, g3, Kf1, or Kd1.

g3 is the right choice for him, as kf1 means you can pin his King to g1 with Ne3+ immediately after, blocking off his rook and trapping his king, then you can Qg5xN, and threaten checkmate with Qg2 if he doesn't make the proper move (Bf1, which pins down his rook, his king, AND a bishop, or g3). Even if he does, your knight still controls vital territory within his backline, making future checkmakes easy, you've readily divided his pieces and tied down significant assets on his side; he's basically fked if you don't make a massive whoopsiedaisy. Kd1 means you can move Nc3+ and threaten a three-way fork between the bishop, his king, and his rook, forcing his king onto the C file, which allows you Ne2+ (if he moves Kc1) or Qa4+ (if he moves Kc2, which will put him close to checkmate, or allow you for force some free pieces like his knight or his Rook, and still put you close to checkmating).


If he does move g3, Qg5xN is the right call.

Either way, his board position fking sucks. He has an undeveloped rook, he has no influence over the center, you have piece advantage, his bishop is blocked by pawns (and currently has the influence of a pawn), etc.

Your King does stand the chance of being checkmated by his rooks if he SOMEHOW makes it to the 8 row unhindered, however, but moving g6 would rectify that.


My chess skillz are rusty as fk though, so you might be better off listening to Teut.

TWO pyroblasts? That seems...excessive O_o.

One is enough imo.

because it's true, that's essentially what happened when Olympics gets hosted in shitholes like this Winter Olympics in Sochi.

I mean apart from truth and offensiveness not being mutually exclusive he still called someones nationality an existential hole. I'm not looking for my pitchfork i'm just pretty sure every polish person would find that offensive. Not getting paid to go to the place he shit on so much seems totally fair.

You are both kind gentleman Sir Teut and Swaglord Tolkien. I really should have realized the open rank gave my queen a lot more options. Appreciate the time and effort in responses.

I barely know how to play chess. :/
For a beginner is there some a short read for basic chess strategies?

I liked Play Winning Chess by Yasser Seirawan.

The short list to getting better:

-Study tactics and do tactical exercises
-Play games
-Review games (which is even easier nowadays due to the existence of computers to analyze your moves)

GTRSRS:

My mage deck is kind of out of date ATM, and I don't even own Antonidas anymore (Dusted for bigger and better things. Like more dust). Just replace the Ice Block in this picture for Anionidas and you should be good to go. Be warned. YOU ARE KIND OF ALL IN ON ANTONIDAS/PYROS.

I haven't slept in about 24 hours (Currently on call just incase the new system upgrades don't go as intended at work requiring me to go fix them. At any given moment. I only have 6 minutes until that stops being the case though.)

yeah people going overboard or calling for boycots or something are crazy. I just think its hilarious that he said that while expecting to work for carmac and co. shortly. Just imagining carmac's reaction.

I think the only time I teared up during a movie in my adult life was "marley and me" I havn't seen "hachi" but based on my previous reaction to sad dog films I would cry like a child.
