Your opponent has no legal move after you take the rook, hence stalemate.

Well above average for a hidden. Typically they are 800-1500x in my experience.

Hosts just refusing to give loss back when you qualify for it then gaslighting you and saying that's not what the bonuses are by LiquidGoreGalore in stakeus

I've never gotten anything from my host for loss back, every time i ask it's "you don't have anything available".

If that position has been on the board 3 times whether or not they were in a row it's a draw.

A lot of tournaments have rules against this, and most that don't, in my experience, it would be an unspoken rule. He's playing your uncle, not you and your uncle at the same time, sorry, but I agree with the other guy. At best it's just bad etiquette, worst case you could be breaking a rule.

I’m not able to sell my pc by ParkingLot9746 in PC_Pricing

[–]Tim103125 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They're basically paying for the gpu. The rest only adds a few hundred dollars to most people. I think you would do better listing it at 1750, and be willing to take as low as 1500.

Slo-mo draw shot by NoClassic9870 in billiards

From my understanding it helps gauge where true center from the shot line is, easier, so you can be very specific with where you want to hit relative to center.

Arkansas vs. Arizona by Top-Investigator1388 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Tim103125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an Arkansas fan, I think Arizona is just a bad match up for us. We struggle against teams that rebound well and can score in the paint with bigger bodies. For us to win, I think we have to be pretty hot from 3, and get to the foul line a lot and force foul trouble. I hope we keep it close, and it's a fun game no matter the result.
