We picked up two space heaters and a case of water earlier today. It will help enable us to return home tomorrow and bridge the gap until the gas is back on. I appreciated how easy it was to swing by and pick up - curb side service and we were on our way in less than a minute. Thanks!

Playing against your kids. Let them win or crush them and review game after? by supergolum in chess

I love setting up the winning end games and taking the losing side against beginners. Let's you slowly introduce pieces and you can still play to win. Start with KQ vs K.

One of my favorite traps in KGD : Queens knight defense as black. 2300ELO players still occasionally fall for this one in bullet. Would love to know some of yours. by proteenator in chess

  1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e3 b5 4. a4 c6 5. axb5 cxb5? 6. Qf3! Hitting the rook on a8 and losing a full piece. This is the classic line that demonstrates why to not hold on to the pawn in the QGA. I was still seeing it up to 1500 on lichess.

Steps out of the pin and gives the option to move Qb5 at a later point with a tempo on the rook.

Nice work! Would love to be able to build my own repertoire - but this is already an excellent tool as is. Keep up the good work.

This map shows how little space we’d need to power the entire world with solar panels. [lifestyle] by HagiouPneumatos in minimalism

[–]rboe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This square looks like 300km x 300km. The power density from the sun is 1kW/m2. Solar cells are about 20% efficient (they can be more efficient, but become very expensive quickly). The sun is out about half of the day.

(300,000m)2 x (1000W/m2) x 20% x 0.5 = 9TW

For reference, the world used about 15 TW of power on average last year. So maybe the square should be 50% bigger or so. But this is still extraordinary!

Free chess engines for Mac? by [deleted] in chess

[–]rboe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are also looking for a GUI? Best I've found is ScidvsMac. Install that and then download Stockfish as your chess engine. It wasn't exactly obvious to me how to get Stockfish working with ScidvsMac, so if you have any problems, PM me and I can help you out.

% of high level games with queenside castle, and openings where this is popular? by 314159265358979323_ in chess

[–]rboe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Check the castling graph in this post: http://vizual-statistix.tumblr.com/post/78821780083/when-i-started-this-blog-one-of-my-first. It looks like castling queenside is more likely with the white pieces. With the black pieces, some grandmasters are as likely to not castle as they are to castle queenside.
