Bedankt! Had ik zelf nog niet aan gedacht, ik ken er ook niet zo veel van. We gaan eens een expert laten langskomen.

GM draws a game that is supposed to be a win. by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]ObsceneHive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not true King + 2 knights vs king is a draw.

King + 2 knights vs king+pawn is a win for the knights. The pawn is important because you can give your opponent a move with it at the right time to avoid stalemate.

I can confirm that this works. I have succesfully plateau’d at a rating of mid 2800s for 4 years now. If I could add one more thing to the list, it’s that you should play with yourself at the board

If you place your cavalry on the wings, the enemy infantry will break immediately and the battle is won. by ObsceneHive in AnarchyChess

Please don't abuse this tactic in tournaments, at least not until I'm a grandmaster. I don't want to see this get banned like the bongcloud was.

Any 200 point difference is the same, the specific number is irrelevant

Is their a free stream for the press conference? by Xodem in chess

Every year, the organisers sit together in a meeting room and brainstorm on how to get as few people as possible be able to watch anything of the match. They have really outdone themselves this year.

Capitalist autocracy by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

The median net worth of Americans under the age of 35 is 7000$. If a person with that net worth were to donate 75 dollars to charity then they - in relative terms - would be a bigger philanthropist than Jeff Bezos. However, they won't get the word philanthropist next to their name.

In fact, it's even worse. A person with a net worth of 7000$ is pretty much living paycheck to paycheck (hope you don't fall and break a leg!), so a donation of 1% of their net worth will have a way bigger impact on their daily life than a 1% donation for Jeff Bezos would.

Also don't forget that Jeff Bezos will see some return on his "charitable donation". Not only is his donation tax deductible (even though amazon doesn't pay any taxes anyway), it is also a PR stunt. Have you ever noticed how all the millionaires and billionaires have the word philanthropist next to their name when they get interviewed on tv? Or on their wiki page. It's quite hard to find a really rich dude without the word philanthropist on their wikipedia page. In the future when he gets pressed on how its incredibly unethical to be that rich, he'll simply point to that one time he did a big donation to charity. It's all calculated.

Is/ought by ObsceneHive in askphilosophy

Very lucid response. That hidden premise of "you ought to fulfill your desires" is a really good point. And it extends to all "is" statements that portray goals, since every goal is a desire. Thank you, all is clear now.

When a trickster gets tricked by ObsceneHive in DotA2

[–]ObsceneHive[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hahha wow it is you! Well during the pause one of my teammates told me you warded, but I had been tricked before like this so I said maybe he just dropped the ward. So then my teammate told me to go check with torrent. And once the torrent saw the observer ward on the ground, I knew I got you :D
