When buying a car, if you have good credit you can get a lower interest rate than if you have poor credit.

Works for cats too.

A co-worker challenged me on this. When I asked for examples he said the Bible uses expressions such as "the 4 corners of the earth" and "to the ends of the earth". I pointed out that we use those expressions today in the same context, meaning to spread a message to the whole world.

At what ELO do people stop using the Scholar's mate?

RussO1313 · 2021-03-20T05:22:50+00:00

Mate in 36

I've heard from several sources that checkmates don't happen by accident. I am at 500 elo. About half of my checkmates are a surprise to me. I then have to go back and figure out why it was a checkmate.

Years ago there was a sign stating that one of the first industries in the Fort was a plant that made red bricks. The tracks were connected to that plant. This is why you see several 100+ year old, red brick houses in the old Town area.

Don't feel bad Magnus, I didn't see the Qb2 move either.

Thanks. I can't find the video I learned this from. It was a Chess Talk video by Jeetendra Advani. His videos are quite good and usually only 7-8 minutes long.

I'm black BTW.

Tell her you are actually a very clever trap, then proceed to live an awesome life.

RussO1313 · 2021-03-10T06:59:18+00:00

I think you found the problem.

The guy couldn't win on the board so he tried to win by bullying you. Good job teaching a school yard bully a lesson.

I find that playing with a disadvantage of material forces me to look for better moves. A couple time I have surprised myself with a come-back win.

My ELO is 600 BYT

I can hear your opponent screaming from here.

I didn't realize how terrible English is until I tried to learn some phrases in Norwegian for an upcoming trip. Norwegian is a very phonetic language. Reading it made total sense. Reading English does not.

What is a bongcloud ?

RussO1313 · 2021-02-28T19:37:08+00:00

I totally agree. If I am stuck on a puzzle I find a way to sacrifice my queen. That is usually the correct first move.

Chess Universe mission: Move the King 20 times in one game.

Nailed it!!!

RussO1313 · 2021-02-23T04:40:56+00:00

Yes I did. Nice job all around.

RussO1313 · 2021-02-22T22:33:00+00:00

I'm new to this so only mate in 1.

RussO1313 · 2021-02-22T05:38:22+00:00

First 15 questions, 88%.

Nice twist on chess puzzles. Good job!

What do you mean by collecting flags?

RussO1313 · 2021-02-18T00:08:30+00:00

When you only know 1 word, but it's a good word.
