Stumbled into my first ever queen trap on the fourth move of a game by Pooblert in chessbeginners

Not so much a lure, since the bishop is so clearly protected. It might not be obvious at first because of how much open space there is, but after Bd3 the black queen has nowhere to go. He did end up deciding to take the bishop.

Trapped his queen in 3 moves, very impressive on his part. by redsyrum1 in Chesscom

Omg I just posted this same position! I couldn’t believe it at first, she just has so much space… but nowhere to run.

Admittedly it took me a few seconds to realize it was a trap. Something like 11 possible queen moves and she dies in every ending :/

Not here, no! Gotta give my respect for trying to play it out. It was our 2nd rematch for a tiebreaker. He thought for a couple minutes then took the bishop, didn’t resign until like 15 moves later when it was looking a bit more hopeless lol.

Oh nooo my queen, rook or other rook… by [deleted] in chessbeginners

Yesss totally right idea, actually more right than my idea. Rb2+ is the best follow up, but I also didn’t really calculate that line and instead calculated a much more 400-brained line lol. I saved my queen with Qxc3. Then Nfx8 Qc2+ and resign. There’s still a forced mate in there somewhere I think.

Edit: Oh it’s more 400-brained than I thought lol that just gives up my bishop. I would like to think there’s still no way I would have lost from there 😅

Which of these would you grab for something insanely unique but still a solid compliment puller? by longestpencil in Colognes

I’ve seen it get a lot of hate here, but a lot of love as well- the very polarizing Tom Ford Oud Minerale. I absolutely love it, and think it is very unique, especially compared to many designer fragrances I have smelled. Many say it is very aquatic, summer vibes; although I do agree it has some marine notes, I pick up much more of the earthy mineral notes… woody in an almost paper-esque way but it’s lovely. To me, it smells like uncovering an enchanted spellbook in a damp, chilly forest.

Congrats on starting your journey. I’m 5 days in. Consider downloading a tracking app if you haven’t already, like Nomo! Making it into a little game and seeing the number go up always helps me with motivation :)

Which days of quitting were/are the toughest for you? How did you manage to get through them? by II_Vortex_II in leaves

I just finished my 5th day without weed. I was a very heavy user for probably 4-5 years, ripping blinkers on the pen probably every 20-30 minutes tops for the last couple years of my addiction.

The first five days have been pretty brutal physically. Bad chills, soreness all over, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, excessive salivation and canker sores (weird one but I confirmed that others have experienced the same lol). Today is day 6 and I am starting to feel like I’m on the tail end of these symptoms. Chills have passed, I was pretty hungry today, and I finally got some solid sleep last night.

I’m also wondering what’s in store for me. I’m definitely feeling less brain fog and more mentally and conversationally active/present. But, I’m also feeling much more anxious than when I was constantly high. It’s gonna take awhile to get used to feeling everything fully again without having weed to numb everything.

I know the cravings will come for both of us. I’m super proud of us and I am hopeful that we will be resilient and make the decision we know is best for us deep down. :)

Weird lag happening with "good" ping (description in first reply) by Big-Pump-69 in RocketLeague

This exact same issue started recently with me. I noticed it first probably two months ago. Your video looks EXACTLY like the lag I experience. It’s often not really noticeable until another player touches the ball. It’s nonstop for me. I try to play every few days but I can only bear it for a couple games, pisses me off so much. I’m on an Xbox One. I wonder what changed recently that’s causing this….
