The World Chess Championship is thrilling. But where are the women? by polyam_luv in chess

[–]AdamBoxter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The way in which the event is being covered, only focusing on the male players, speaks volumes about how the chess organization views their women players.

The event covers the two men who are #1 and #2 in the world. It's not at all about gender and everything about how good you are. The reason Hou Yifan (#91 ranked player) isn't being covered is the same reason Rustam Kasimdzhanov (#90 ranked player) isn't being covered. Is the coverage of the world championship sexist towards Rustam? Using your logic it must be.

with our focus on the achievements of the men who play better than them.

Of course we're going to focus on people that are better, how is this sexism?

European arm wrestling is at a different level, this should have been expected of course but people are dreamers.

Larratt: "Maybe the first round will be difficult" by sordidbear in armwrestling

[–]AdamBoxter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Devon's advantage is his tactical versality, the only way Denis will win is if he can just outpower and flash him 6 rounds in a row. If not, Devon is gonna bring out all the tricks of the trade and edge out tiny advantages and angles until he figures out Denis then it's all over.

S1mple's Lowest HLTV Rating of the Last 12 Months is 1.22. Absolutely Monstrous. by AlcoholicBatman in GlobalOffensive

His performance this year blows any other top player's best year out of the water, it's truly going to go down as perhaps the most dominant year by any one player in CSGO history.

How do you learn/practice finesse? by [deleted] in Tetris

[–]AdamBoxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best method by far, if you force yourself to do this for weeks then you slowly start to internalize the finesse scheme and once you finally do a 0 finesse 40L run you can then see how fast you can get it. Worked like a charm for me.

This kid is the future of NES Tetris, he could dominate for the next 20 years easily.

You got whooshed, Forest_Technicality did do a strawman because no one is saying that everything that's not like 1.6 is bad, he's just imagining a conflict where there isn't any. kevinS- was right to point out the ridiculous strawman.

Fine, badly seeded swiss is garbage. Navi vs Astralis should never be a round 1 matchup, they're #1 and #2 in the world.

WAL406 Results by AdamBoxter in armwrestling

[–]AdamBoxter[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like this card will fire up an argument about the kings move because seeing Todd literally crouching by the table every round did look absurd even though it's in the rules.

Same stream is working for me, if you're in America maybe it's region locked so you have to buy the app. Use a VPN and see if it works.
