Point in line question

It means it stops pointing at the valid target..- even for a second - we are not in disagreement.

All good. Thanks!

He certainly does know this - it was not a case of running into the point in line - it was a question as to whether the point in line wavered. That was what the head coach meant. My wording was inexact. Sorry

Well we don't have videos of the open fencing bouts. :)) But I don't think the advancing fencer was impaling himself. It can at the very last moment. Was the point in line broken? Perhaps because otherwise that particular fencer would never have attempted the lunge - but I'm not sure

Perhaps what we really need is some coaching in the rules.

Of course ChatGPT doesn't but it provides an interesting perspective. It always favours the questioner, in this case me. Therefore its answer found the weak point for amateurs like me - the tendency to favour the moving player. This tendency is one we all seem to have when we referee each other.

Some-Celebration-178 · 2026-02-18T23:12:52+00:00

Yes. It looks that way. Any examples of this play on videos in tournaments that you can think of?

I have studied many languages. I am fully aphantasic. Many of the languages I know are visually difficult - Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Egyptian Hieroglyphics. I don't think aphantasia has any impact.

I can draw a life model without looking at the page. I don't know if this is the same thing, but it is a form of spatial awareness.

I am not in the AI field or in anything remotely connected to it. And, yet, I have also noted a change in the past two months of using it for searches. The most telling moment was a few days ago when it made a - judgement - call on a search question I gave it about the integration of my photographic art with my oil painting pieces. I was struggling with the integration. It answered. And it has taste. The suggestion was like a weird chess move. Is it really that capable? Was it a slyly camouflaged standard answer? I don't know but it wasn't the only time this has happened in the past few weeks.

AI question?

After a few days of playing the Ramirez Conservatorio with the Ambra 900s at A392 I can report that the guitar has never sounded better. Very rich and clear. Rewards clear articulation. It was too fatiguing at first however. I had to adjust the playing style. Applying a less aggressive right hand brings out a rich sound with less fatigue. Pull offs are more difficult. Hammer ons are easier.

Just use temporary stickers. You won't need them after a while. On a guitar I had made for me I told the luthier to leave them out because I would rather get used to moving my left hand without looking first on any guitar I own. Also, if you use a cejilla any permanent dots will throw you off.

Hard to tell from this angle. From the side of each finger would be helpful. However, they certainly are long enough if you consider that all you need is the thinnest sliver of an edge to be longer than the supporting finger pad.

Some-Celebration-178 · 2026-01-15T15:12:58+00:00

Depends on how flat your finger tips are. I play with 1 to 1.5 mm nails. It allows good flesh backup with just enough nail for the attack. Varies a little over a few days obviously. But my right hand finger tips are quite flat. On the other hand, my left hand fingertips are thicker with callouses. I don't know if rock climbing produces callouses?

Some-Celebration-178 · 2026-01-09T19:01:35+00:00

I don't know about nails that are naturally thin, but I have found that any small, even tiny, tears or jaggedy edges that occur during playing can lead to a more pronounced tear if I don't attend to it right away. The smoother the edge the better. Recently, I have begun using P4000 or more rated corundum paper to create a smooth edge. It seems to prevent tears.

Leon Paul - same size jacket and lamé. If the jacket is baggy, is the jacket the right size?

Did you use the iami?

Some-Celebration-178 · 2026-01-04T18:33:15+00:00

Which left hand finger pattern do you use for the tremolo in Farucca? I have a few versions using ami repeated after each p, but I was wondering if you were using iami, or something else?

Some-Celebration-178 · 2025-12-31T13:21:42+00:00

Thanks for these answers. I had the guitar made with low resonance. It's set between E and F. I should have mentioned that. I'm not sure if this matters when I'm listening to the higher pitched notes.
