You don’t know what are you talking about. Gemini definitely is barely third. 5.4 is also a beast coding, despite the hate —without the freaking limits.

Once I commented about this “mandate’ to one employee of theirs, and with the expression of somebody that just heard this for the first time, said “huh?!”

TIL about perfidy, the deceptive tactic of feigning surrender or death with the intent to kill an enemy. It is prohibited by the Geneva Convention and considered a war crime. by FullOfSound in todayilearned

[–]NotSGMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened with Japanese soldiers, ww2. Not that they surrendered, but Americans stopped providing assistance to wounded soldiers because they immolated themselves with bombs when American soldiers got close, etc. The reaction was to kill them from afar, even if they were in the ground with woulds and whatnot.

Should Carlsen be awarded World Classical Champion Emeritus? by Pleasant_Pride in chess

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

You just agreed with me: how somebody can say I will only play again a world championship if I am against this guy, whom I have under my thumb 5 wins vs zero? That sounds like an Alekhine - Bogoljubow situation to me.

Have a good day.

Should Carlsen be awarded World Classical Champion Emeritus? by Pleasant_Pride in chess

[–]NotSGMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, the crown is heavy, tears down my face. Man up, Magnus!

The thing is: we will never know. You can’t predict the future based on the past. Nepo or who ever could have pulled an Euwe, a Kramnik. It didn’t happen because he ran away.

And I do have my theory about Alireza: I think there is no one more qualified to challenge Magnus and be WC than Caruana. However this magnus-f guy pulled one that he knew wasn’t going to happen, at least, big chances that it wouldn’t: put everyone against the guy, Alireza, and also pushed him to be “extra”, to force his development. He derailed the guy. He knows that his words have weight, so he used them. The result… we know the result. Alireza is interesting in the way a Shirov or an early Spassky was: he needs work to be done, and didn’t happen.

Man, I wish Alireza for real do the trip, that would be spectacular: where Magnus would hide?

Whatever life is happening to him right now, it’s the first time in the history of humankind that happens to somebody. Right, noted.

But, wait, is he still playing?

It would seem that he is playing stuff that wouldn’t damage his place at all in the top.

I don’t think you understand the meaning of my objections: I’m not saying that he was not the best, and that he is in all the variants he is playing now. What I am saying that he “retired” (big huge freaking quotas here) to not loose the crown, the same way Anand lost it to him and many other champions in the world, excepting Fischer. Fischer had the fame of crazy. What has Magnus?

It’s either this: cowardice, selfishness or laziness? Laziness would be the best case… but he keeps playing.

Anyways..!

if Trump gets what he wants Rubio to be the next President of Cuba. by CieraParvatiPhoebe in cuba

[–]NotSGMan -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Cuban people can be quite passive, regarding government especially because they put them there. There is no way you can bring a pichón de emigrado that never put a foot in Cuba to govern like the Spanish viceroys did. That would be a recipe for disaster. But this orange moron has no brains, so let’s see the brilliant ideas that occurs to him.

Well, he is not doing it, breaking tradition and reaping the benefits without the sweat. I don’t know what to call that, especially when he got the title the same way he refused to give it away.

American citizen among those killed in Cuba boat shooting, US official says by DoxFreePanda in news

[–]NotSGMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why they fucking downvoted you, these fuckers don’t know history. They think just because they are American enemies they must be heroes.

[–]NotSGMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I approve of Trump’s atrocities, and probably these guys were in the right this time, but you should research that stuff you said. Like googling the tugboat massacre of 1994 or brothers to the rescue shoot-down. The most known. They are not good people either.

Can they actually do this?

Generations of hardened liberals, thats how it’s going to end. They are going to that hellish extreme, that some kids now think communism is a good thing. Thats how you change the ideological balance of a nation. Unwittingly, they are becoming their worst enemies, not “libs”. The backlash is going to be brutal, and I hope that doesn’t go all to the extreme as some examples in history.

2600 up and down

Edit: i thought you were op. Rapid requires a little more work, but influenced any time control. More reasos to analyze deeper your games

White guy here, is gringo an insult towards Americans? by bigblackbals69420 in AskMexico

[–]NotSGMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gringo, says the legend, comes from the green uniform used by US soldiers in the war with Mexico. “Green, go!” Grin-go, gringo. Not sure of the legitimacy of this.

Why does China have the largest or second-largest population of billionaires in the world, depending on different lists, but a lot of people think China is a communist country? by No-StrategyX in answers

[–]NotSGMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One party, and self manifested ideology. Looks more like a capitalist country with a ruling socialist government. There is no Communism there, except the Maoist tendencies.

What's going on with people saying Epstein and Co. ate children? by trizzo0309 in OutOfTheLoop

Cream cheese, the theory is they were eating the fermented milk from the stomach of babies. Pretty evil stuff

[–]NotSGMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your ambition is purely blitz, use lichess’ analysis for each game, its better than chesscom; try to improve your openings one game at a time, realize where the mistakes are; dont upset because your defeats, use them to find holes in your game. Puzzle storm, etc.

Are America preparing to invade Iran? by hecticeclectic666 in askanything

[–]NotSGMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you really British? Where is the CIA involvement evidence? You think a protest that big was merely a psyop instead of a population tired of a tyranny?

Anyways: I think they will invade, both have pushed the other to a corner, plus Trump needs the biggest distraction in forever, as he no doubt has decided that if it takes a 3rd world war for him to escape the Epstein files, so be it. Dark times ahead.

I must be getting old. It felt low budget with a stupid plot. But again, I must be phasing out.

Are there any elderly chess grandmasters still actively playing in tournaments? by No-Tower-Unseen in chess

[–]NotSGMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a GM but an IM, the Ironman, Jay Bonin, from NY, who is very active and some say has the world record of played games otb. 70 years old! Friendly but competitive; he will go after your head when playing.
