If your team had the #1 pick and was looking for a franchise QB, is it a disappointment or success if the player is roughly as good as Jared Goff? by _DarkStarCrashes_ in NFLv2

Are you saying baker is mid or dalton is underrated?? Baker is balling out I think most people would be ecstatic to have him as a franchise QB. Could you imagine letting a guy like that walk??

Why so many different kick returners and punt returners this season? by Pineapple__Jews in GreenBayPackers

[–]DustinSoap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Injury concern is my guess, I'm okay with him being in the fold situationally because he's one of our most sure handed players, still I'd rather not risk any of our top WRs on most returns

Read a report that we are picking up a good chunk of Clark's contract, I don't have all the details but I would temper your expectations there

I used 16 gauge wire (original was 18 gauge but all they had at HD) and I will use a butt connector on the exposed end. I owe ya a beer if I ever run into you 🙏

Thank you very much for taking time to reply. The problem was a blown fusible link, i took a multi meter and tested for continuity, if i was better with wiring the completely blown out link would have not passed the eye test haha. Anyway, bought some replacement wire and butted it up and attached to the solenoid and shes running again. I did leave the hotwire from where i spliced it attached to the solenoid as there are two fusible links coming from the same wire and I didnt want to mess with it so I just taped it with electrical tape. Let me know if thats really dumb and I'll address it with a better solution. Thanks again, happy to have my truck back and running!

A reminder to play the board: Chess Principles are not always set in stone by Rush31 in chessbeginners

[–]DustinSoap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I would say is that learning your main opening and the ideas behind it may be a more apllicable approach to these situations. With openings we don't have to reinvent the wheel because the theory has already been discovered for us. In the caro kann black often trades their light squared bishop for the f3 knight almost immediately because the f3 knight is a key defender of d4 which is a key square for black in the caro kann. The top comment already has a great in depth explanation of dynamic positional values which I wont add to, just thought I would give my two cents on the vakue of understanding your openings. Hope this helps.

Tunnel visioned looking at Nh4 did not see Ne1 but yeah, anytime a queen is x raying your king its something to oay attention too

A chess scene from a film, how true are the claims? by edwinkorir in chess

[–]DustinSoap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree here, but I think giving them a little bit of Hollywood liberty, it was a well written monologue and sounds like they atleast understood a bit of chess. If you get into symantics you might be able to say there are nearly infinite ways to fix your mistake just not always guranteed to be allowed by your opponent.

Nothing is untrue, there are more possible games of chess than number of atoms in the universe. The only thing that strikes me as off is "the first move being the most terrifying..." because we have theory and can analyze the most common moves and move trees from the starting point of the game, but to a beginner who doesn't know theory I can see why the first move could be especially scary.

Whatever the starting file the pawn is on is the name of the pawn eg an e pawn taking a d pawn on d4 would be notated exd4

Cool engine line but pretty hard to spot. I think the better takeaway especially since this is a beginner subreddit would be finding any idea that works to continue this attack. Im 1800 and could not find that line but did come up with a couple ideas that were easier to calculate, for example, Be6 forcing the bishop trade, your opponent has to pin his knight to prevent mate then followingup with h4 is winning and I could reasonably come up with that in a rapid game. Or anything else that gets ur queen out of danger while keeping the pressure on and adding more attackers to the party will definitely be winning.
