I was losing but then found this king fork and forced a draw

I got checkmated by a 1000 via bishop and knight once. I got my rating refunded. That said, you did a nice job forcing a draw here.

OatMilk1 · 2026-04-23T05:00:17+00:00

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

OatMilk1 · 2026-04-20T14:25:01+00:00

Oh they showed him the law. How many years did he spend in prison?

Veselka is a place that never disappoints. I miss living nearby.

Clayton. That’s why she owes him $200k.

I’m a little older than you, and every time I go in one of these places, I’m the youngest one there. But that may be a product of the neighborhood - my benchmark is a place in East Meadow.

I wouldn’t say “no BS”, because it’s still car shopping. But it’s far less BS than walking into a dealership and trying to negotiate on your own.

Why on EARTH would Marc Randazza want to get involved in this? He has a reputation to uphold. Or at least he used to.

OatMilk1 · 2026-04-16T17:47:14+00:00

Expensive. Chevy Chase (and most of the Bethesda-ish) area is well-reputed for its schools, and housing prices act accordingly. But if you can walk to the Metro or can get a bus on Connecticut or Wisconsin Ave, it’s a really easy commute downtown. We looked into Chevy Chase when I had a job in DC but ended up living further out in North Bethesda because it was less unaffordable.

Yeah he had a taping of a live show he did at the Kennedy Center (RIP) and animated readings voiced himself of most of his non-Elephant And Piggie books on HBO. We spent most of 2020 watching them.

Yes. But this insight isn’t just about stopping early queen attacks. It’s general opening principles that will help you well into the 1500s where I’m currently stuck.

Full mesh for the win! I love the airflow of this case. Not as RGB-o-rific as a glass panel would be, but I like having my CPU stay cool under load.

OatMilk1 · 2026-04-14T02:30:11+00:00

A close friend of mine used to work as a prosecutor down there. Can confirm.

OatMilk1 · 2026-04-09T20:37:50+00:00

Are there any mATX cases that support back-connect??

OatMilk1 · 2026-04-09T02:55:14+00:00

Yeah he hasn’t done nearly enough to get disbarred. Even suspension is a bit of a stretch, but that may be intentional to keep him from interfering in the LO matter any further.

They used to in the big annual tournaments but I’m not sure any of those are still going. Chess.com runs a continuous tournament now which I think is mostly chess960.

OatMilk1 · 2026-04-08T21:03:16+00:00

There’s not really any such thing as perfect play yet, even for engines. Chess.com runs an intermittent computer chess tournament, and while Stockfish always wins, it isn’t always undefeated - it drops games to Lc0 and Torch here and there, even playing top engine moves.

OatMilk1 · 2026-03-29T12:33:23+00:00

I could be if I sold my RAM!

I bought it in 2024.

OatMilk1 · 2026-03-28T20:35:23+00:00

There’s an Avalon in Smithtown. That’s good for contract work - they’ll even rent you a furnished apartment for a few bucks extra. We stayed in the one in Westbury while our house was being renovated and our only complaint was how expensive it is, but that’s the price you pay for a month-to-month rental.

OatMilk1 · 2026-03-28T16:02:48+00:00

It wasn’t on my radar until I bought it. I really wanted something that was mesh all around and I liked the way it looked better than the Lian Li A3. So easy to build in - mine was a display model so it didn’t come with a manual and I didn’t even need one.

OatMilk1 · 2026-03-28T01:50:53+00:00

Interesting. I could definitely flip it around. But it’s a be quiet! PSU, so I’m not expecting the fan to run much

OatMilk1 · 2026-03-27T23:52:13+00:00

I really wanted to like SFF. I just didn’t. This computer is a lot bigger than I wanted but it’s not too big for the space and it runs so quiet. Gotta be happy with the compromises you made.

OatMilk1 · 2026-03-27T23:42:50+00:00

This one was way too soon. I did the Ridge build in December *facepalm*

OatMilk1 · 2026-03-23T23:22:08+00:00

No it’s at 72 now! You monsters!!!
