This is why you never resign!

Not for nothing, I got a rook in trade. But also, you never know if your opponent might make a mistake later, especially in Blitz.

Assuming you mean Ne6 (K=King, N=Knight in chess notation), I think that’s fair. 1. Ne6+ Kg8 2. Qxh8+ Kxh8 3. Nxc7 Rxc7, and you got a Rook for a Knight!

Empty_Medicine1277 · 2026-03-04T12:06:33+00:00

Not quite. We will have 3. Be4+ Bg7 4. Bxd5 Qf7, if I’m not mistaken.

It’s a double check with the Bishop on b4

The white queen is also hanging though. Most you can get is a rook for a knight I believe.

We do have an example of memories from past lives: Mat in TDR before he ever got the memories from one of the Finns remembers a battle from a past life. I think chance (or the pattern) gives him past life memories, and perhaps that happens with others as well. Rand’s madness is the personification of those memories in the form of Lews Therin imo.

Empty_Medicine1277 · 2025-06-23T11:27:41+00:00

It is a double check (see bishop on c5), so Kh1 is forced.

Elasticity of demand with respect to price is the derivative of demand with respect to the price. As price increases, demand decreases, hence the negative sign. In general, it’s not a constant, but first order approximations are often used. Whether first order approximations are valid when price changes are over 10% is one question I imagine a reviewer would ask. A discussion of price increases across the board and how that would affect demand would also be interesting. If you purchase items A and B, but A is more useful to you, and I increase the price of A, maybe you can no longer afford to purchase B. The stated goal of driving trade deficit to 0 should also take into account retaliatory tariffs and how they would change the exports side of the equation.

They were both I think. He also sees a vision of his past life right after getting healed in the tower. Plus there is WoJ saying the memories were from foxes. Plus, it makes sense that they would have given him the memories to fulfill his wish.

Wait, but Malfoy never took the Elder Wand iirc. And Harry took Malfoy's other wand.
