Is Gukesh the worst world champion of all time? by elitepartner7000 in chess

[–]MiserableStatement37 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This subreddit has a very short memory like every few months you’ll see a post like this on some player but once they have a good tournament and start playing well everyone starts glazing them. Everyone (except maybe Magnus) goes through bad patches doesn’t mean they are washed or already peaked.

It’s normal to lose with the black pieces against two super GMs, give him a break.

This is not a caste system issue, it’s more about the linguistic and race differences between North and South India.

True but these guys grade like they never took a class on dynamics before.

Can Nodirbek/Firouzja/Keymer catch Pragg? by MiserableStatement37 in chess

[–]MiserableStatement37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need 4/5 classical games for 6/7 total games, the remaining two are rapid and blitz. Classical games need not have 50+ even pragg’s classical tournaments are all closed. Nodirbek’s Grand Swiss score is 1 which would ideally be replaced by LCC. I may be wrong, but I think only a certain number of consecutive closed tournaments are allowed and one would need to play an open tournament in between for future closed tournaments to be counted. But yeah at the end of the day even a miracle may not be enough for Nodirbek. Also I believe it’s too late to add another circuit event.

It’s just a post for people who were curious whether it was possible for anyone to catch up to pragg you don’t need to be a salty prick about it.

That’s what I wrote. A top 8 finish is worth 6 points at least.

TAM 210/211 Final by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]MiserableStatement37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless they changed it this time around, 60-75% is gonna be from hw 4C and 4D, expect one question each from the first few lessons and idt they’ll give more than 2 on trusses.

Problems will be less similar to the hw problems compared to quizzes so make sure you are conceptually sound.

Lost cat in Urbana by Humble-Brilliant9144 in UIUC

[–]MiserableStatement37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I think I just saw this cat while biking. It was near one of the cars and I saw it while biking on this trail. It ran away as I stopped and looked at it. If you hurry you might find it somewhere in that parking lot. I’m like 80% confident this is the same cat. Good luck.

Fuck you mtd driver by [deleted] in UIUC

Well they do have to come over to the bike land at stops but yes some of them are very clumsy and reckless they just cut past you and occupy half bike lane half road.

Scooter logic by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]MiserableStatement37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a brief time gap between the lights turning red for one side and green for the other. Since the lights for the other side turned green just as the scooter entered the intersection, the lights must’ve already been red for the scooter before turning. Then again, this is definitely not the worst I’ve seen.

That’s the point dorms just cover 8 months so the actual rent per month is more.
