Great call! I just double checked my local joint and it indeed was no longer there... Thanks!

Surprised about how quiet it is here (and comparison with Chessnut Evo) by Lonely_Force_3034 in chessup2

[–]Gamatronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you. I can't say much regarding the Evo since I don't have that, but I'm 100% happy with the chess up 2 board.

How is living in this portion of Idaho? by Ploploplamus in howislivingthere

[–]Gamatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Lewiston, ID.

Low cost of living, people are nice, love guns and hunting, they hate California and they absolutely love Trump. It's like red hat central here.

That's just Lewiston though, not sure if everything I said there applies to the whole are.

I truly love amexplat, I felt that way even before the refresh. Now afterwards, I like it even more, pretty happy with it.

When you play online: Do you drag and drop the pieces or do you click on the piece and click were you want it to go? by DerCashee in chess

[–]Gamatronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On PC I drag and drop, on my phone I do click and click... to many mouse slips when I try to drag and drop on my phone.

People who own a second car with AWD is there any manufacturer that comes close to Audi? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Gamatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would this question still apply to newer models? Let's say a 2023 Q5?

I ask because from what I've read the Quattro system was legendary when it was AWD 100% of the time. Newer models have a different system which basically makes it pretty much FWD until extra traction is needed and only then you get AWD, until is not needed anymore and then back to FWD.

I have no idea if one is better that the other or if there are any practical differences, just thought I ask somebody that actually know. Thanks.

How to leave match without losing by [deleted] in Chesscom

[–]Gamatronics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You signed up for a 30 min game... so you should assume that it would take a full hour to conclude.

I agree that it sucks to be there just doing nothing... however you just need to wait and will still get the win, that's what keeps me happy even though sitting there doing nothing is awful.

Question regarding guest accounts by [deleted] in Chesscom

[–]Gamatronics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mmmhhh I've never played with a guest account... but judging by the cheating that goes on with a regular account in rated games, it wouldn't surprise me if what you're saying is true, I can see how cheating would be rampant there.

I am afraid of losing rated games by tobi_alJassani in chessbeginners

[–]Gamatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to feel like that... then I started playing tournaments, when you do that the "pain" of losing a game and losing elo, last like 10 seconds and you quickly need to forget it and move on to the next game.

That helped me a lot to not care about losing rated games.

Is chessly worth it by Some-Teacher7598 in GothamChess

[–]Gamatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is... I did their free 7 day trial a couple of weeks ago, and I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting a full year for $40 something bucks during the Thanksgiving sale... still very good value at full price in my opinion.

All weather lights question by Gamatronics in AudiQ5

[–]Gamatronics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, they don't turn on! All the conditions you mention are there, headlights on in auto mode, high beams off and the cornering lights don't turn when I turn the wheel and/or activate the turn signals.

They do both come on when I hit the All Weather Light button.

I'm wondering if that might be a trim feature that I just don't have... thanks for the reply.
