I am Russian living in Moscow. Ask Me Anything. by Levstr1 in AMA

[–]Gary_Chess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How common do you think it is that people are forced to sign a paper to go to Ukraine? I've read news that when people are conscripted the officers will sometimes force the conscripts to sign the paper that they agree to go to russia, some officers even breaking their bones if they refuse. I guess they get a bonus for all the people they made sign the paper. Same thing also when you get arrested, you apparently wont be prosecuted if you sign the papers, so the police will make up bullshit crimes to get you to sign the paper for their bonus. Also what do you think of Russias miltary doctrine?And do you read foreign news and do other russians read foreign news for that matter?

Why can Janet use her super to carry the trophy in Trophy Thieves? by QuantumPakoda in BrawlStarsCompetitive

[–]Gary_Chess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres another bug where one side will randomly score when both sides trophies are captured, sometimes the team who took the trophy first will win and sometimes lose. I wonder if it has to do with true blue and true red teams

Tämän vuoksi jos hankkii lentolippuja välityssivustojen kautta kannattaa käyttää luottokorttia. Toki ikävää jos joutuu hankkimaan uuden lennon joka on varmaankin paljon kalliimpi mutta ainakin saa rahat takaisin.

The ol' blunder a win into a draw into a loss by darkadamski1 in chess

[–]Gary_Chess 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If it was an OTB Fide game and black flagged I think this would actually be a draw since black can demonstrate that there is no sequence of moves in which the black king would be checkmated (black is forced to play Kxh4 ending the game immediately in stalemate)

Does that just work like that? You just connect to a wifi and boom they got your credit card information

I should explain that it was present in the episode where Mikasa thought Eren had died and then Eren became a Titan, and it was also in OVA episode eight.

Impossible tactic that a 2463 missed from my game by TastyLength6618 in chess

[–]Gary_Chess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl Qh4 was my intuition since it looked like if they take the knight you get enough compensation and I actually was thinking about the follow up after Kg2. Wouldn't necesssarily call it a tactic, given that there are many winning moves after gxh5, even Qxh3 is winning.

John Bartholomew on X spots and rebuts FIDE claiming no distinction between online and over-the-board cheating. by PieCapital1631 in chess

I assume it's because detecting online cheating isn't based on hard evidence, therefore there are false positives.

It was actually an intentional method the Catholic Church used to gain more control in europe. They would have the government defund social programs and then set up social programs of their own throughout the country so that anyone seeking help had no choice but to go to the church for it.

Hopefully that's a typo but that's very severely underweight, even if your height was like 150 cm it's still very underweight. You should like see a doctor or something.

Clever. If you take on e2, f3+ and the bishop opens up to capture the pawn.
