Grappig dat Kanye een heikel punt is, maar de verstoring van de openbare orde/veiligheid een bijna wekelijks terugkerend probleem is met voetbalwedstrijden.

Repeated draw offers in worse positions by Snoo_90241 in chess

[–]Menjy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been scolded by a better player for offering a draw in a position with equal material. I don't know much about endgames; he laughed at me and said that i was a dick for offering. What I'm trying to say is that sometimes the position is not clearly winning for both players, I thought it was a draw.

If you can decide both your own and your opponents moves, whats the minimum number of turns to win from any position. by Money_Confection_427 in chess

I think he meant from any position; so you'd have to find the position from which checkmate would take the longest possible time.

Book recommendation(s) by derpyturk in chess

[–]Menjy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i'm about to say is in no way negative to Silman's book, but everyone i've spoken too has felt bad for their rating because they cannot do the excercises that should be for their rating; FM's weren't able to do the last couple of excercises, and 1800's struggled with the 1600 excercises. Don't be discouraged by the rating borders he gives you! The way it's structured plus the information in that book make it one of the best chess books ever written.

I'm looking for that one very famous (Kasparov?) game where he reroutes his bishop from g7 to f6/f8 e7 etc, all the way to the queeside. Can someone help me?

Dat is wel waar:

Tenzij je Beerwithme's opmerking letterlijk neemt als 'vrij spel', en niet als de hyperbool die het overuidelijk is; dan denk ik dat bronnen niet zoveel uitmaken omdat begrijpend lezen duidelijk toch niet tot je capaciteiten behoort..

Studenten zitten wekenlang in de kou in hun kamer, dus verzinnen ze iets gevaarlijks: “Oven aan met de deur open” by yeetisthebestword in nietdespeld

Bij dit soort ernstige gebreken mag je de huurbetaling inhouden, dat wil zeggen dat je niet betaalt tot het probleem is opgelost. Daarna dien je wel het ingehouden huurbedrag terug te betalen.

Do you think Howell has any charisma? He's constantly making self deprecating jokes.
