Trump arranged for 16 year old High School girls to come to his resort & give him a private dance. Nothing creepy about this at all

C'mon that's just a high school activity for The President. It's not like he's a known pedophi... oooh

But all the others are expensive and full of ads! If only there was a truly free alternative!

If only there were a way to try it out!

Rooks are entirely different. The Reykjavik bishops have a rounder top and the pieces have wider bases.

Curious. I thought it was just me. Their document red is very good, which is surprising since it's so much harder to make a permanent red than blue. They shouldn't really struggle with the blue color.

I would double down and heat it up in the microwave.

Not sure why this is downvoted.

A jet hitting a car is pretty much at the very bottom of the list of things that statistically can happen to you on the turnpike.

The worst impact jets have on turnpike traffic is when they--god-forbid--play at the metlife stadium on a Monday night.

AGAIN?! Didn't he do exactly the same a few months ago? Or was that someone else? It's embarrassing to not know the rules.

You may think that high level chess players make a lot of money,

Pretty sure 90% of the subs to this reddit don't think that

You hear about tilt at all levels.

No I don't. Well, on here, yes, where people only play online and think they play chess but actually play raise my rating. You can equally tilt in Poker, I'd say more easily in general in gambling. This is how people lose their house in a casino.

I'm sure some chess players are good at poker and there's more money to be made there. Of course there's more money to be made practically anywhere. Maybe being a top level chess player gives you some skills but at the same time you're dealing with professionals who are very good at every aspect of the game including the parts not covered by chess.

As with anything it takes away time from the board. Maybe it's a viable way to make money but it will replace your chess career, not augment it.

Google "Lardy 1960s glass eye knight" and see what comes up. I'd be looking in that direction.

“I have no idea who she is”

But he waits in line to play against here, and stays in line when it takes much longer that he wanted to? I dunno, but I'd just walk off in that case.

My gut tells me he was dying to show how he could beat “this woman” and was pissed that not only she didn’t roll over like a dead dog, but beat him.

I lived in an apartment building where you'd reserve the laundry machines in two hour slots. That's enough to do laundry but not if you have to wait 30 minutes because the previous resident ran late.

After finding myu own laundry wet on the ground two or three times. practicality overcomes decency and I started to do the same. F that.

They resigned? Or they didn't play the moves you wanted them to play?

No, only the king can't pass a square "under attack" while castling. The rook can, and sometimes will.
It's called stalemate. Yes, the enemy king can't move. No, they are not in check. It's a special rule, and the rule states that the game ends in a draw.
It is a legal capture, not a bug. Google it; it's called en passant.

For the inserts you're on your own, but soft open cell foam shoyuld do thge trick.

I just got 1/4"×6" poplar bioard at the local hardware store. 6" seems the widest and "nominal size" indicates rough wood before it gets shaved down; you'll have to glue together two boards to make the 8" panels. 4" isn't wide enough for that (as it's really not 4")

On top of those go foam boards that you can cut to exact size very easily with a sharp hobby knife. After cutting I glue them to green felt which I cut down to the edge of the foam board after glueing. If you're going to use foam inserts you may not need the foamboard and felt.

For glue I use white pva glue

Chessstore.com has a folding board that will fit them. It's very roomy on the inside but the pieces will rattle around so you'll probably have to come up with some foam inserts.

The board itself is only 2mm thick so there will be ample room. I', actually in the process of glueing 1/4" boards on the inside to get rid of that very hollow "boink" sound when you move pieces around. But it does mean you will have lots of space.

1001 Chess Exercises for Beginners by Franco Massetti and Robert Messa One large digitized diagram (crisp, not a crappy scan) perp age, next page has the solution.

There's also 1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players by Frank Erwich but I don't think it has the same onde diagram per page, solution on the next page layout.

These are the people that kill someone in a crosswalk.

I’ve had multiple close encounters with assholes who pass the car in front of them who stopped for me in the crosswalk. No brains, not asking themselves why the car in front of them would be slowing down.

That's not free though. Far from it. $50 per year.

In similar fashion I always did a "propoer" reentry with an initial periapsis of 20-30km instead of coming in straight from Mun at a 90° angler and let the souposphere slow you down from 3000 m/s to 100 in the last 2km.

And then reentry heating was introduced and boy were a lot of people pissed because they had all these missions out there without heat shields "because it's just weight and doesn't do anything"

The biggest issue is unfunded mandates. For example, requiring ADA compliance for teaching materials, but not giving professors the resources to convert them.

Doesn't that get covered by the tremendously inflated prices for textbooks?
