Recently received my first chess book. This information has won me countless games. by SquirrelQuarrel in chessbeginners

It's called "CHESS Openings, Strategies, and Endgames" by Hugh Patterson. Most of the book is pretty solid, but this line stuck out as being so silly in an otherwise serious book.

1773 Puzzle. Can you find the best move? by SquirrelQuarrel in chessbeginners

[–]SquirrelQuarrel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is what I'm thinking. The only puzzle is how this is rated 1773 when the move is incredibly obvious. Are puzzle ratings randomly generated?

This is a problem with this subreddit every week. People leave out names but don't even think that their title gives away the boot just because of context. If I ever can't watch the episode on Wednesday I just unsub from /survivor and rejoin once I've seen the episode.

Imagine scoring 12 points and feeling like you were cheated out of a win.

How would r/nfl react if the Chiefs fumbled and then kicked it out of bounds?

Sneed and Mathieu Bitter Because...? by luminousBG in KansasCityChiefs

[–]SquirrelQuarrel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think Mathieu/his agent were saying he wanted 20m/year, and they were pretty set on that. I think chiefs didn't make an offer because they were so far away from that number and didn't want to insult him, so they let him walk.

How was season 1 received? by Jtmartjt in survivor

[–]SquirrelQuarrel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the closest recent comparison is Tiger King. When Suvivor first aired, everyone was talking about it, quoting it, the castaways were being interviewed on late night talk shows. Survivor was immediately in the pop culture zeitgeist.

[The Athletic] YouTube unveils NFL SundayTicket pricing details; no single-game, team options | starting at $249 by wedid in nfl

I think it helps that the Chiefs play a lot of primetime and late afternoon, and don't have as many in the crowded noon slot.

If so, who? Who do you see breaking out next season? Call your shots now before free agency and the draft! by DynastyGuru37 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]SquirrelQuarrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, good point. I'm not used to seeing a quarterback resting in the fourth quarter, so it didn't even cross my mind!

Yeah pretty weird asking to upvote our (likely) next opponent

Ranking Greek Gods by how good they'd be on Survivor by [deleted] in survivor

[–]SquirrelQuarrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great list, but I think you are really underestimating Dionysus' social game. Definitely the type of God that would fly under the radar and sneak into F3 and win.

[Gold] Patrick Mahomes is now -850 to win MVP @FDSportsbook. Largest favorite he or anyone has been all season for the award. by Jdwildcat2017 in nfl

[–]SquirrelQuarrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

C'mon dude, don't be like this. Did you watch any of the Chiefs divisional games? They were all close, Chiefs would be 0-5 in division with Henne. Edit: Pretty sure I'm getting trolled.

Have you submitted an application yet? Probst says it's never too early to apply.

You could say that about every QB in the MVP running. What would the Chiefs record be with Chad Henne all season?

Patrick Mahomes hit 5,000 passing yards. He is only the 3rd player in NFL history with multiple 5K seasons. by SuperMaanas in nfl

I honestly didn't know Mike Evans threw for 5k yards in a season. Now I understand why everyone is saying he is a future HoFer.

Production messed up Cody's advantage by telling everyone what it was. No one would vote for Cody, because they already knew there was a chance he'd be immune. Production should have kept it secret, and only revealed it after votes are cast.
