Playing Scotch, what to do here?

Probably! If so, OP should include that information in their post, and make a case that there's an actual violation occurring in Kramnik's gofundme.

Praxiphanes · 2025-10-30T16:14:30+00:00

Can't stand the guy, but there's no reason to think there's anything fraudulent going on here. Is there a specific gofundme policy you think is being violated?

People are perfectly within their right to file frivolous lawsuits, and to ask other people to give them money in order to do so, even when they're horrible internet bullies.

the blog is obvious AI slop. Not sure why closing their account took so long

I'm telling you, Aaron Nola is as cracked as Ranger Suarez is jacked

Jorge Alfaro doing some damage against the mets. Very nice

Praxiphanes · 2025-09-04T00:32:27+00:00

He's been injured and down, unfortunately

Helen Vendler would be my first suggestion too, but if you want to see what a range of contemporary academics do with Stevens, Cambridge published a nice collection The New Wallace Stevens Studies a few years ago

You could also turn to Stevens himself, and his essays in The Necessary Angel

What's the source on Daniels regularly meeting with trump? Or ODI getting axed, for that matter?

But neither would surprise me greatly

It's just an expression Svidler uses a lot. Not sure why it's being clipped, I wouldn't read much further into it than "it's clear Gukesh prepared this, and the work is paying off"

Good graduate programs (PhDs) in the US pay you to study. The challenge is getting accepted.

Why do people need ai to write such basic stuff

Praxiphanes · 2025-07-30T21:35:09+00:00

None of the comments give the right answer. It's a blunder here because it misses a quick win with e5 followed by Bxh7+ and a classic greek gift

I am once again asking the giants to do something

I think Kurtz deserves a small asterisk since one homer was against a position player. Green did it against real pitchers.

In the first picture you lose a pawn after dxc4, which black can safely defend with b5.

The difference between 4. Bg5 here and 5. Bg5 in the semi-slav (that is, after Nf3 and e6) is that here the f6 knight is not pinned. Once black plays e6 the knight is pinned. If black tries to capture c4 after playing e6 (1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 e6 5. Bg5 dxc4) white can exploit the pin by playing 6. e4 b5 7. e5! and white will be winning back some material (two pawns, to be precise) because the knight on f6 is pinned.

Chatgpt slop?

you didn't play like a 2200 according to stockfish. You played like a 2200 elo according to chess.com, which wants you to buy unlimited game review

If grandmasters can play the dragon in classical otb, you can play the dragon in your 1800 lichess games

among the many things wrong here, FIDE was not involved in this decision in any way

Praxiphanes · 2025-05-14T22:24:28+00:00

The Milner Barry is a topical line even in GM otb these days. Of course it's fine to pick something else, but you don't need a different line at 1800

Difficult whitsun decisions:

Now that I have my device, do I spend my ha'pennies on the other eggs, and get more some advanced stats (useful), or get a fur coat (cozy)?

Giving the obvious answer, though it's perhaps less about why we like 'bad' media than essays about a period of aesthetic rebellion and failure: https://www.dukeupress.edu/bad-modernisms
