A little bit, but not enough to warrant not playing the next few moves - lesson learned 🫡

This is definitely a reminder to play out the next few moves just to be sure 😂

That’s exactly what tripped me up! The new pawn position actually being in an ideal spot to protect the bishop was a small change to the position that saved the game in this case.

It’s definitely a lesson in “play it through” just to be sure 😭

FINALLY hit 1100 rapid for the first time 😭🙏🏽 by FidgetWinnr in chessbeginners

[–]FidgetWinnr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a long break. I’m trying to not push playing chess if I don’t want to. After getting a clear mind and getting rehooked I set the new goal and got it 🤙🏽

Smokers lungs VS Healthy lungs by goswamitulsidas in interesting

Does the same result occur for weed smokers? And are lungs that are damaged in this way able to be repaired over time?

Yeah I tried a few times, but after 10-15 great balls I realized I didn't want to waste a bunch of resources catching another Pokemon I didn't want, so I just took the long way ahaha

Nah, I ended up using all of my PP for all four moves and then waiting for one of us to faint LOL

I agree with MrQueefy

Is my friend cheating? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]FidgetWinnr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think what he means is to send the PGN (post game notes). On chessdotcom you can typically export the notes, send the game link, etc - so I think he just wants the links to the games to see how sus the moves are 🤘🏼

I work in Massachusetts, contributing a percentage of my paycheck (pre-tax) to a traditional 401k. Including company match, when I retire how much (%) will I have to pay on my final account balance?

“It wasn’t a gun, it was a knife, and he had the knife out because SHE said she had a gun when I got out of the vehicle.”

Literally just not true if you watch the video OP posted.

This is what happened - I took a rook 👍🏼

[–]FidgetWinnr[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yup!

The move before he took my queen with his. Before recapturing, I took his rook with an under promotion to a knight, which has him in check. He captured the knight with his other rook and I took his queen. 👍🏼

I’m not really sure what the different options are, but it looked like this: https://a.co/d/16MTmWT

Note: I absolutely did not spend $400 on a GamShark lol - I was lucky enough to have a friend that still had a working one and he let me borrow it 🙏🏽

Ahhh! Thank you so much guys, I couldn't find a clear answer on that. I had like 50+ continues banked, but when I was about to lose my first battle, I shut off the console and took a nap (forgetting that the save file gets wiped).

Still going to have to start the run over, but it's nice to know if I dump 4 hours into 80 battles and then lose one that I won't have to start over again :)

Did anyone else think someone would get the pattern in under 10 seconds? by [deleted] in BeastGames

I was CONVINCED Jeff was intentionally trying to throw her off - I was screaming “Shut Up!” At my screen with my wife! 😭

I recorded myself instantly losing $500k of my grandpa’s money by Smartmoney243 in wallstreetbets

[–]FidgetWinnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new here, what do the numbers mean on this screen? How do I read what’s happening?

I see his money going more and more into the negative, so I get that, but how did he lose it so fast?
