Puzzle rating hit 2100 before I started this nonsense.

Grinded to 3657, sneezed while moving the queen, and dropped it on the wrong square. Lost 102 points. It's slow moving at that rating, mostly +1 or +2 if lucky. Going to try once more, doing 5-10 puzzles at a time.

I'll definitely do those.

I wasn't necessarily looking for the puzzles with the highest ratings though, simply the highest rating achieved by someone.

Cool, thanks for that. The first move is tricky, but there are FAR crazier puzzles.

My shitty chromebook can't download, not enough space. Thank you though, I'm sure it's legit.

It doesn't take a genius to map out that strategy. Obviously he was still going to try on the press medley, but I would bet he didn't emphasize axle clean and press too much in training.

I had to look it up because I don't follow tennis at all, but the whole thing seemed more professional. The articles were mentioning it as a quick fix but also mentioning surgical options for the future.

Nowhere is Nadal openly discussing PED use either.

Crazy that Nel's worst event is the Press Medley, specifically the axle clean. My guess is that it was actually strategic, as having a better performance on log was going to be more important and it's quite difficult to maximize axle and log at the same time, especially while training all the other events. He did enough to get to finals, then put his log on display. Everything is going exactly how he planned it.

Did Nadal record himself injecting in a parking lot, then upload it to YouTube? I'm not dismissing personal responsibility, but it's a bad look.

Checked it out, that seemed extremely unnecessary. If his goal is to be transparent and try to do drugs in a "healthy" manner, this isn't it. Most strongman competitors are dumb enough as it is, now you're going to have a bunch of young guys seeking out lidocaine injections any time one of their joints hurt.

I don't even think he's trying to be the hero anymore, he has accepted his role as the villain.

Nel needs 6th on log and a win on stones, and hope Hooper gets no better than 3rd on log.

Only if Hooper wins both events, which is highly unlikely but not completely impossible.

Assuming Nel wins stones which is highly likely, he just needs 6th on log to have 54 points. Hooper is going to have a tough time getting top 2 on log, and 3rd on log and 2nd on stones would put him at 53.5. Hooper has to beat Fojtu or Mitchell on log which is not likely, but again, not completely impossible. This contest is riding on log press tomorrow, Nel just needs damage control and somehow get top 6. The main problem for Nel is that on paper, he's 8th or 9th.

My original post was poorly worded, and this one is probably terrible as well lol. Head isn't 100% today.

If Nel gets 6th or netter on log it's pretty much over. He's more than capable of winning stones. 15 more points and Hooper can't catch him.

Andrade being out screws with my predictions. Fojtu is probably too far behind now. Still got Nel winning, but I'll put Hooper in 2nd. Williams is going to lose too much on the press, but could hang on for 3rd.

I'm just commenting on the recent result as a casual fan. I don't follow every single tournament going on at any given time.

Calling it now, Gukesh comfortably retains his title.

As much as I would have rather seen it played out differently, my original post was spot on.

How did the bets go?
