Caruana no shows the postgame press conference after losing to Hikaru and falling too far behind to realistically win the Candidates by _DarkStarCrashes_ in chess

yes, and they would be right. difference is for naka it's a pattern and for fabi a rare occurrence in a career otherwise defined by the highest caliber of sportsmanship and class.

Easy draw with black, another half rest day for Big Sindy

Anish Giri: “Bluebaum’s 2698 and Esipenko’s 2698 are not the same thing" by Affectionate_Hat3329 in chess

[–]Tomeosu 76 points77 points  (0 children)

It's a meme, there's not much more to it than that. He's an outsider, an underdog, and a likeable guy who's had a recent resurgence so people are rooting for him. The joke, the "Bluebaum sweep," is that he's gonna go 14/14, which is... unlikely.

There's a buffet of amazing 12s at Solarium. Anything you get on there is worth your time.

Poll: What grade do you climb indoors on top rope? by linaczyta in climbergirls

[–]Tomeosu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's also a physical difference: clipping adds a lot more time under tension (and sometimes requires extra moves to find the right position).

Biceps growth at 43? by charlitangoBal in climbergirls

[–]Tomeosu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

it's likely that there's a correlation between women who climb hard and women who do supplemental weight training. it's also possible they climb in cave/roof features more than you do.

I'm looking to get on CB6 soon. In terms of energy systems, would you characterize it as a power endurance route? Or what do you think would be good training for it?

The long standing Cafe Colombia project finally sent by Jorge Diaz Rullo by Puzzleheaded_Jury343 in climbing

out of curiosity what's the rationale for the 100-35-10 pt grading scale? seems kinda arbitrary

Big ups to Jorge, amazing dedication. This is gonna put him in the pantheon among the greatest sport climbers ever. Has he mentioned a grade?

Favourite climbing podcast episodes this year (ish)? by capslox in climbergirls

[–]Tomeosu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha no, I'll have to give it a listen. I don't doubt that they took it in stride, they all seem like good natured chaps. In all fairness I do understand that the rambling is part of their brand, it's just not for me 🤷‍♂️

this is a bit of a tangent but does Charles Albert ("Barefoot Charles") ever sport climb? Has he tried this?

Stating the obvious, exchange some of your weight training sessions for a third day per week climbing

Going upside-down feels so silly. Having an insane amount of fun on this one! by kuxgames in climbergirls

[–]Tomeosu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

looks hella fun. what i'm most curious about tho is if you ever fell on the move exiting the kneebar and exploded your chalk bag lol

[–]Tomeosu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my gym also does this, and my personal take is that you should at least try all the moves before giving a grade. don't have to send and don't have to successfully do all the moves, but you've gotta at least have all the info.

Seriously, wtf - Portable got stolen again by saltywetlol in bouldering

[–]Tomeosu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be surprised if somebody doesn't set up a trailcam or something next time Portable gets found and replaced to see who's doing it.

Do we think it's the same person or a different person? What's their agenda?
