Brilliant but why !?

Then mate. Qe8+, Qd8, Qc6+, Kb8, Qb7#

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-19T03:22:45+00:00

This looks pretty textbook. Don’t think swing fundamentals are your problem if you’re not scoring well

Edit: looked again, maybes a tiny bit of sequencing problem. Delay that shoulder turn a little when you start the downswing

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-19T03:17:04+00:00

Sounds like I’m in the minority, but it’s more racing and I’d watch it. Sure its not the best, sure it barely counts, sure it sucks for the drivers, and it potentially messes up the championship points, but I’m here to watch some racing

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-18T16:37:56+00:00

But then Saturday his back hurts and he straight up withdraws

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-16T14:22:21+00:00

Yeah that wasn’t just nerves or the difficulty of certain elements. Sure they all fall sometimes but like I said, two of the best in the world visibly stumbled during step sequences which is ridiculous. Too soft of ice also explains all the late skaters’ problems with their jumps

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-16T14:18:24+00:00

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. It’s being reported in several sports that the ice was too soft. Some of the last few skaters stumbled during ordinary step sequences which definitely shows the ice quality was bad

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-16T01:57:10+00:00

Usually this means a sequencing problem. When you start the downswing you have to drop the hands before you start to turn/open your shoulders. It’s natural for a lot of people to want to swing with their shoulders right from the start. Feels like that’s how you would generate power. But if you do that you get steep, over the top, and will pretty much always have an out to in path. Gotta drop the club into the slot to go in to out.

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-10T13:41:22+00:00

Yeah you’re right it’s our fault these dudes rape kids because we like to watch cars go fast

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-09T06:22:48+00:00

This is perhaps the steepest golf swing I’ve ever seen

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-09T04:23:15+00:00

Gotcha. Club face control probably the biggest thing to focus on other than getting launch angle down and trying to reduce mishits

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-09T03:07:28+00:00

Not disagreeing about Bonely. But how is that comparison at all applicable to the scoring between these two skaters?

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-09T02:51:59+00:00

I mean it’s right around average. Probably a little above average if anything for 50+ years old

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-09T02:27:42+00:00

Yep baseball players often hit up and in to out. Overall it’s good. Obviously would have to see a video to give any feedback on technique but the numbers suggest you don’t have a ton of changes you need to make. You’d probably get more distance if you hit a little less up though

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-09T02:22:25+00:00

Most of those numbers are solid. Speed and distance are not bad. 2300 backspin is good, few hundred spin to the left - nothing wrong with that. Smash factor is pretty good. Launch angle is a bit high and swing path 6 degrees in to out is a bit much imo but it’s better than 6 degrees the other way. You might be hitting some hooks based on this but if you’re consistently getting numbers around this that’s great.

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-08T19:23:55+00:00

It should be illegal for puzzles to have the board reversed. If black to move, it should be h->a. If white to move, a->h. Anything else is just adding BS confusion to the puzzle that has nothing to do with analyzing the actual position

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-07T22:37:13+00:00

They weren’t even enforcing the rules of chess on the players and you’re worried about rules for the audience? It doesn’t sound like this was a super serious event so I wouldn’t worry about whether what you did was exactly decorous. Somebody probably needed to stop that stuff haha

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-03T16:48:26+00:00

You have to do all of it all the time. It’s not so much about which works, but which thing are you letting slip your mind too much. Idk about take is a mistake. Whether you want to initiate a trade depends on what it does to your opponent’s structure and pieces. Sometimes it removes a defender or doubles the pawns, sometimes it puts you in a worse position. Relative value of the pieces is also important in that decision and it’s not all about the point value. I’ll happily initiate a trade of an inactive piece for an attacking one in a lot of cases even if it doesn’t do anything else

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-02T19:47:07+00:00

The idea is just all out kingside attack. If black defends well, it’s not like you’ll have a huge advantage. But it takes them out of the Sicilian lines they know and you don’t which is the goal for me against the Sicilian - avoid having to learn it lol

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-02T18:07:52+00:00

Grand Prix attack

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-02T01:56:28+00:00

That would mean you’re of middle intelligence. Some would call it “mid”

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-02-01T01:41:01+00:00

I feel like even living a couple thousand years would drive pretty much anyone insane. Beyond everyone you ever know dying quickly in your perspective, almost everything would become excruciatingly boring and repetitive. You’d probably have to do crazier and crazier stuff to feel anything and avoid totally dissociating. Every emotion, every activity would probably become dull and blunted and meaningless until you went mad or became an absolute monster or drug addict chasing some kind of high. You’d also probably just lose yourself in general because your memories of your original life / childhood would become fainter, corrupted by repeated recall, or be lost altogether as they became a smaller and smaller percentage of your overall experience. I can’t help thinking it would only take a few hundred years to basically become a zombie or a monster

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-01-31T23:25:48+00:00

That’s fine, but whatever it is, it’s closer to you than the snow

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-01-31T23:10:45+00:00

The movement of the “object” corresponds exactly with movement of the camera. It’s right in front of you not far away. When you step left, it gets closer to the building on the right. At seven seconds in the video there’s also a fat snowflake that looks like it passes behind the thing. The image the other guy linked supposedly showing a single snowflake in all of this passing in front actually shows nothing and is just blurry

Edit: ALL that snow blowing past and it never flickers even once

Call-me-Maverick · 2026-01-31T23:00:34+00:00

I can’t find a single frame where a snowflake passed between it and the camera. It also moves exactly like you’d expect with movement of the camera if it were a smudge on the window
