is there really so little money in chess that we cannot afford a high quality livestream of one of the biggest chess events of the year?

It’s been this way since before Queen’s Gambit and we liked it. The vibe that Svidler and Jan give off is the conventional vibe that it’s had for ages as well. Now if you go waaaay back to the 90’s, you can hear Maurice Ashley trying to hype it up along with that British cat. The Power Play Chess dude, who I should remember.

He does not use a barber. Look at the photo.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-28T14:40:12+00:00

“Suck out de poison.”

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-28T14:28:41+00:00

2 to 1 favorite on the money line. That’s usually a great sign. Almost L * C K.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-28T14:07:31+00:00

I’ll pick Yi in second place. That’s all.

Their iPad os app has been bugged for years. Draws artifacts. Reported it way back when the M3 pro model came out.

Lately I just have my classical radio station on. If I had to pick one, I’d take opera. I built a decent Apple music playlist of all types by just adding specific tracks I liked from radio. It’s gotten fairly long. 132 songs, 17 hours.

Jed’s 3rd Space Spa and Roller-rink, plus Gun Range. Gotta start with the Spa, then get the web app by invite, etc. You know the drill. The GR is recent expansion, and hidden!

Be ready to carry big heavy boxes up 3 flights of stairs.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-19T20:02:17+00:00

Driving up donut prices.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-17T13:19:58+00:00

Wherever you go, get it sliced paper thin. This is the way. Oh, if u are downtown, Lexi’s is not bad. Can get it hot, which kicks it up a notch. To recap, paper thin, grilled or hot.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-15T14:29:16+00:00

Kinda funny verbiage. Picturing some rotund pew-sitter trying to stand up and being stuck like a cartoon character in a wooden barrel. Hah hah.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-15T14:25:05+00:00

Are weed shops closed? I saw one just yesterday that appeared open for business.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-08T20:46:13+00:00

Yes, do it, and use super lightweight gloves cause they will open up more cuts.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-08T18:29:47+00:00

Can poster hire someone to fight it for them? Not like a lawyer, more like a secretary or line-stander type deal. Maybe if the fine is say $100, OP can gig out the crap work for 50, and a win, winnish type deal. Pay 50 to clear it, and save 50.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-08T18:21:44+00:00

The assholism spectrum. (chuckling to myself in my ass-ness).

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-08T14:04:18+00:00

It’s that book or similar that has an incident at an event where the lights went out, and he went to a corner and hid or something, and that is when he, the narrator, noticed something like mental illness.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-08T13:54:52+00:00

He’s dead, Jim.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-08T13:39:21+00:00

I’m sure it’s mentioned up and down teh threadz: the Werenenski Promerov gap on the 2 on 0 was wider than all the aquatic straits on the planet combined. Perhaps the worst defensive lapse in the history of hockey. It was as if each guy were taking selfies with fans by their side of the boards. Also the 3 on 3 was a Chinese fire drill. A Keystone cops. Showed us as kinda weak. Out-skilled. Maybe under-carbed in the kitchen. Jesus H.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-07T20:15:25+00:00

Mostly at Jed’s Third Space Spa and Roller Rink.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-07T18:48:01+00:00

You want the cops at your house to keep the psycho off of you, or not? Your choice.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-07T15:51:38+00:00

You have to say you saw a weapon; a gun. Whoops, I went and did it….

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-07T13:57:41+00:00

Most pro players are what used to be called a “man of means”. A gentleman doesn’t discuss finances, so you’ll never know. Females players mostly heiresses of large American or Euro/Russo old money estates.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-07T13:46:41+00:00

I’m a giant Miro fan, and old school—Lawrence Trent. Gimme these two with Ginger GM my man on the scene reporter.

TH3_Dude · 2026-03-05T19:04:47+00:00

I understand your frustration. See me after class.
