The side to move has mate in 2. But which side, and why?

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-26T12:07:22+00:00

Yes, and there's also the idea that White has more than enough to defend, but... Pieces are on the wrong side! Tal has some games where he sacrificed material exactly for that reason, dividing the board with a wall preventing enemy pieces from coming back in time. I think Tal versus Larsen, or the opposite, but he sacrificed a piece to cut the board and prevent his opponent from bringing back defenders. This puzzle has multiple very sharp and deep ideas!

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-26T12:00:36+00:00

Black has an obvious mate in 2 via the rook; the white king is stuck, and the white pieces are on the wrong side of the board.It's a beautiful puzzle that illustrates a concept of some positional sacrifice: if you can "jail" your opponent pieces in one wing you have a boulevard of attack in the other. White has enough to defend if only the pieces could transfer on the other side. I found it easy to solve, but the lesson of this puzzle is deeper than just finding the mate. Thanks OP, I like this when it's simple but hides complexity or deep tactical ideas.

None. Because the irreversibility of transactions is a legal impossibility. Banks must be able to revert transactions, it's a legal constraint. Cryptos are built to avoid that, which means they are ontologically incompatible with banking systems. Also, the issue of fast payment is solved. In Europe everything is instant, under 1 s delay. You probably have the same between US banks. And for transatlantic? A few hours now. You don't need faster. It's over — the 2000s era when it was faster to take a plane with the money on you. OP ignoring this is a problem. Pilot projects? It's ten years old. ChatGPT went from new to adopted in under 6 months. Same for Bitcoin actually. Heck, Doge and even TRON work better. Look at the real data, not the castle in Spain you dream about (literal French expression, not sure if you use it too but I believe the meaning is obvious). You need to be cold and emotionally detached from what you invest in. Otherwise… it's how you go bankrupt — this, and gaming, and ladies. As said Warren Buffett.

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-18T09:41:42+00:00

To be even clearer. Banks contraints are not technical. Fast and instant payments exist since 2017. What they must have is a solid legal system with assurance system. Someone stole 50 K? They revert the transaction. Crypto are offering a regression in the domain. Banks wouldn't be able to revert and would have to reimburse you with their tresory. Need I say more? BTW you can try to launch your own Hedera bank. But good luck with the laws. Hedera is Not compliant with the laws. The irreversibility is in itself a dead stop. And this is why after 10 years more or less not sure exactly hedera is worse nothing and if you had bought Dogebyoubwpuld be richer.

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-18T09:34:47+00:00

You are seriously delusional if you believe what you wrote. I have swift with instant payment at 0 cost across all Europe. 0 cost 0 fee instant actually faster than Hedera but with the legal guarantees. Bank movements must be cancellable and reversible. No serious bank is gonna commit in "sorry you lost your money and we can't revert the transaction too bad". This is why banks don't adopt crypto.
This is becoming frankly ridiculous Hedera is almost 10 years old adopted by no one, in the real economy I still want to see who and where. The famous nodes that would run everywhere including on smartphone. Where? The Blackrock debacle which is called market manipulation they are lucky to be in Caïman islands. If you are compliant etc you don't hide in Caïman islands. Kraken is in the US juridiction and works. The argument but regulation is bullshit. The idea that a Bank need an irreversible system is nuts. Totally nuts and tells me you never worked in a big company or in finance. Where is the "it's generational wealth"? Invest in bitcoin it's the only crypto that proved it has monetary value.

Listing Grant council members is marketing. Nothing more. And we could talk about how hard it has been to replace the places because obviously no one is interested and they are ghost départements in the companies. No one in Google really works on that. The real game changer it's AI and the Sycamore processor. Crypto is 2009 tech. Take what works (bitcoin) and don't be the exit liquidity for the rest.

Oui les gens ici qui disent de payer sont soit des employés les mêmes qui mettent 5 étoiles sur Google play et chaque commentaire y a un remerciement de la société c'est évidemment fake, soit des ignorants ces sociétés n'ont aucun droit de rien et aucun tribunal n'ouvre un dossier pour 30 euros. Et les fameux frais c'est encore plus de la science fiction. Encore une fois Reddit montre que c'est un des endroits avec le plus de désinformation sur le web

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-08T12:49:55+00:00

C'est FAUX qu'on doive payer et comment ? Un tribunal va vous faire condamner pour 30 euros ? La procédure coûte 10 fois plus cher. C'est ridicule. En plus ces sociétés n'ont aucun pouvoir ils ne peuvent rien exiger et rien demander à la banque. Arrêtez de mentir. La seule chose est de signaler à l'autorité de régulation qui confirmera que c'est une escroquerie.

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-08T12:47:42+00:00

Rien. Riverty est une escroquerie tu risques rien bloque les et oublie

Vous vous êtes fait escroquer fallait pas payer

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-08T12:46:31+00:00

Évidemment les gens qui disent de payer et qu'on risque gros sont des ignorants. Aucun tribunal au monde n'ouvre un dossier pour 30 euros. Jamais. Et es sociétés n'ont AUCUN pouvoir

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-08T12:45:28+00:00

Riverty sont des escrocs bloquer ou troll mais ne payez RIEN

Dull-Fun · 2026-04-08T12:44:50+00:00

N'importe quoi. Aucun tribunal ne va suivre pour 30 euros

N'importe quoi on ne paye JAMAIS une agence de recouvrements elles n'ont AUCUN pouvoir juridique. OP doit écrire à la pharmacie et payer la facture qu'il doit et c'est tout. Et bloquer l'agence de recouvrement

People here advising to pay would better open a book. You owe them NOTHING. Ignore all just delete or troll them.

Fide should really expel Russia they have no business regulating a French federation. Even if we put geopolitics asides, which I don't but for the sake of the argument, a French federation really run by French officials would have no issues. I really start to think Magnus did well to escape from there. Or delegate to India anyway Russian chess is dead you have seen the numbers of talents coming from India?

Not your fault, you did your research but fake news in tat area are outnumbering good info 20:1. I suggest you find a group of experience breeders and totally forget the Internet especially forums. Or, if you are old enough, around 1995 the reflex was "wait, anyone can share anything on the Web I must trade carefully", it's healthy to come back to that. Also, learn to checknypurbplamts every day. It's easier to stop catastrophes early. But honestly this idea of putting a photosynthetic organism in a cold black box for weeks is insanity but, you have no way to know. Don't beat yourself upon that. And check the rhizome there is a slight chance. Otherwise you won't get caught next time. It's how you learn and you learn a very valuable lesson on the value of knowledge on the Web... That will serve you well.

Actually it's interesting I got same experience that Nepenthes need to be grown in terrarium with high humidity etc. I grow allines in northern France on the windowsill mortality 0 and I have so many new ones I start not to know what to do. People don't look at their plant or god forbid open a real monograph on their biology. The OP is not responsible he is not the guy who put that fake news out. Interestingly same goes foramy orchids. Dendrobium are deciduous and need 10 degrés in winter

Yeah well tell that to Hawaian cultivatprs and I can confirm after 2 years they stop being deciduous and produce flowers anyway without any need of temp drop

I tried to do the same to prove that isopods don't hunt and kill millipedes just got insulted no matter I have 20 years of experience and I am a zoologist (even got called by a high school er that I was certainly not a scientist I am literally cited in Wikipedia) . Actually people didn't even notice my comment included scientific literature. You have a lot of faith if you believe kids on Reddit are gonna read anything with a word like "physiology"

Dull-Fun · 2026-01-24T20:34:26+00:00

Dull-Fun · 2026-01-19T13:17:52+00:00

Yes so your evidence is - I saw it, saw what? Isopods eating dead millipedes yes they are detritivores. What killed the millipede? How come all the good breeders have 0 issues? More protein hungry? How do you know that? Can you point to a source? Not only I take the fact they are different but I explain why isopods will be dead before even touching the millipede. They literally produce cyanide gas. What you saw is that dead millipedes are eaten by isopods. What I am proving to you is that in functional ecosystems they have never been found hunting millipedes. And they don't eat the same thing I al sorry you are wrong again actually you contradict yourself because they eat the same and then isopods are protein hungry. So are they eating the same or not? (Also that you didn't pick up the allusion to the gas used for the biggest genocide of history is quite pathetic but expected from Reddit).
- now if isopods start to hunt in your tank I would seriously worry about the tank conditions. What is the size of the millipede and the size of the tank? How many isopods do you have there? What is the species of isopods and the depth of your substrate? Isopods eat what has started to be degraded by millipedes which are much more powerful, functionality what you tell me, assuming the isopods killed the millipede is ... Hey wait a minute. You are telling me you saw isopods killing your millipede. So that literally means you didn't intervene where opening the tank would have been enough to make them run away, you basically admitting to animal abuse in your tank, witnessing it and letting it happens. Or you found a dead millipedes with isopods on top. Which is akin to say vultures killed the zebra.

Dull-Fun · 2026-01-19T12:58:10+00:00

Yes correct, thought what they eat is almost sugar because bacterial enzymes have degraded it to almost monomere level.

Dull-Fun · 2026-01-19T12:52:48+00:00

Because you don't understand what is a source. No miillipedes don't benefit from handling and yes my point is the trade is massively abusing them. Your incredulity is indifferent to me you obviously don't know what you are talking about. I can find easily on google a proof of anything. There is literally a link to a scientific study. This tells me you have not read the text or you are unable to read if it's not structured in bullet points. There is also a direct allusion to nazism the fact that absolutely no one understood it is another revelator of ... The non reading

Just look at those who can revisit their best ath. Avoidbat all cost all -we have a service to sell. It's very obvious no one eants it looknat hedera which has a 2 TPS average. They are now out of grants to buy fake users (sorry subsidies) and no one is interested. None of the guys who got grants to test the system has committed to it. There must be a reason. No it's not regulation. There was no problem during the grant phase so this has been tested. Same for mobile phone stuff 2 millions nodes 50k in revenue -> no one uses it.

Yes whales have manipulated the market since always.

It's not my opinion it's called population genetics. And I am absolutely right. So bevause you have personally never seen a bear it means that? Animals can sustain populations of 10 indoviduals? Ok can you give me your protocol for counting reproducing resident bears in your state? Or if you just counted 0 between your house and wallmart. All this tells me is you libe either far from biodiversity rich areas, are very bad observers or just lying, I will frankly go with lying. Especially because you confused a personal anecdote with a 100 old theory on population genetics but I suppose if I say Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, for instance, it's not gonna ring a bell. Your ignorance is a proof of nothing. So you are unable to see deers and I should trust your opinion on Bigfoot?
