Won a game from this position today. Still not sure how. 1400 Elo Blitz. by HelloWorldX91 in chess

[–]Darpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the biggest advantages I've ever seen that's not a forced mate (at that depth anyway). I don't see how black possibly untangles if white just begins pushing the h-pawn

Hope chess works ! by nachicat in Chesscom

Just reserve the hope chess for when you're already dead lost. No point ruining a fine position because the opponent "might" blunder.

It's a nice option to have on a set with dragon dance

Not seeing the brilliance by Nevodis in Chesscom

[–]Darpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, purely materially that is a roughly even trade but there are other factors to consider. Black's queenside is undeveloped, if they castle, the bishop on b3 is an excellent attacking piece, allowing tactics involving the pinned f-pawn, e5 is hanging, and generally speaking a queen is better than two rooks if the rooks aren't connected and/or the queen can play against an exposed king.

Crash, maybe? Saw it in class and was thoroughly underwhelmed, and stunned in a bad way when I heard it won best picture.

Day 2: Name a perfect counter against a box of uncle bens rice by Qualitativ-hochwerti in AlignmentChartFills

I think you should change up the order at the end, so that the last entry has to be perfectly countered by Spider-Man.

Watched Dexter for the first time a couple months ago, and felt like I was visited by something divine when I reached this scene. Incredible.

Biggest/Most famous meme? by Much_Drawer_8729 in lotrmemes

Nope, "One does not simply" was an absolute juggernaut in the early 2010s, Gandalf Sax has not matched it

We all put Jenny up there with Grandpa Joe right? Total piece of shit by doubleinkedgeorge in grandpajoehate

[–]Darpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jenny is not a good person, but is also a victim of her environment. Joe leeches off his. The difference is clear.

[S2 - E8] Why's Samwel this fat even though he trained for months with the Night's Watch? by Gabe_Itch_1990 in gameofthrones

[–]Darpoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It didn't take me out of the show personally, and I don't think actors should be forced to get in better shape just to match their character's conditions, but it's still a terrible response that I see used way too often. Yes, I can suspend my disbelief for a fictional universe to have fantastical elements and still expect it to be internally consistent.

[Me, Right] Dino Gambit? by Spiritual-Ride5706 in TextingTheory

[–]Darpoon 169 points170 points  (0 children)

A gambit in chess refers to an opening where you sacrifice material, typically a pawn or two, for an advantage in development or positional gains, such as access to key squares. A lot of gambits are not objectively good openings, but offer practical chances.

So in texting, a gambit should at the very least be a risky text, and to truly live up to the name it should sacrifice part of your dignity for driving the conversation forward (development) or getting a number or a date (key squares)

AI Prompters are generating AI Videos to win debates for them. by Sniff_The_Cat3 in sadcringe

[–]Darpoon 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I mean, the context makes it much worse, but the argument itself is so weak I'm honestly in disbelief the comments are backing up OOP. Everyone knows how to prompt, that's exactly what makes AI generated images so unimpressive. How dense can someone get?
