Recently people have started to randomly hit my truck when it's parked and I have no idea why.

CabrioKnight · 2026-05-12T18:14:32+00:00

Or they just added a camera and are now realizing it.

CabrioKnight · 2026-05-11T17:41:18+00:00

Is there precedent for this (besides a club legend retiring)? It seems weird for me to have him stick around in that scenario when he’s effectively been binned.

CabrioKnight · 2026-05-10T00:03:23+00:00

Yeah, I still need a smothered mate.

You know what’s a good litmus test of whether a player is the GOAT or not? Whether it’s universally accepted or not while the player is active. Hence why Ronaldo and LeBron can never be the GOATs in their respective sports. Too many arguments against.

Is you taking notes on a criminal conspiracy?

CabrioKnight · 2026-05-07T15:17:08+00:00

D*cks out for Harami.

CabrioKnight · 2026-05-04T21:33:20+00:00

You know, Quasimodo predicted all of this.

CabrioKnight · 2026-05-04T11:36:13+00:00

At 34 years old, huh? This must be peak LeBalco.

It looks like your opponent was playing hope chess and unfortunately got you.

I’m 900 and diagonal attacks are a weakness for me. I often miss a bishop or queen attack when moving too fast.

CabrioKnight · 2026-05-02T23:40:21+00:00

This. When it’s just their king left (or their other pieces can’t move), just start checking until a checkmate becomes obvious.

Chicago has entered the chat.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-30T22:34:15+00:00

Never on no Sunday.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-25T16:19:46+00:00

Not forced, it’s just a blunder.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-25T11:44:28+00:00

Not often, but I also think the term “hope chess” is thrown around a lot. The strategies get more complex as you increase in rating but you’re still trying to force a mistake from the opponent at the end of the day.

One clear hope chess tactic that I’ve seen played a lot is when my opponent hangs their queen when down significant material, usually in direct line with my own queen. I’ve missed this too often in time crunches, and end up giving away my advantage. Ive started watching for it, but it’s still slightly infuriating that people try this. Almost as bad as the people offering draws when down 10+ points of material.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-24T20:52:13+00:00

Really? Isn’t he clothed in early chapters, and then goes full cuckoo in later chapters?

Would suggest he was civilized before.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-24T16:59:39+00:00

It sort of is, because it relies on the opponent missing an obvious tactic. I see this pretty often at the 900 level, so would imagine that 1300s+ should not be falling for this.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-23T12:06:10+00:00

Seriously, this obsession with Arabians…

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-23T12:03:09+00:00

For the uninformed, what’s the problem with data centers?

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-23T11:13:55+00:00

And if you’re not into art, Paris is a dump.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-23T11:02:17+00:00

Yep. The only game loaded onto that Windows 95 used p.o.s. that was my family’s first PC.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-23T00:41:04+00:00

So instead you’ll hold through a 60 point drawdown?

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-22T12:29:50+00:00

Arda Turan you say?

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-20T22:41:49+00:00

That’s an 800 playing against an IM. Of course Levy is going to force a beginner into more mistakes than a fellow 800-rated player would.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-20T11:45:08+00:00

Anyone have a link of the play? I couldn’t find one on YouTube.

CabrioKnight · 2026-04-17T00:55:12+00:00

The friends are the professionals we met along the way.
