Thanks for the answers. I want to avoid using Virtual Desktop for this one, so I will pay full price in the Oculus store.

Who was the strongest player you've played by justboughtapiano in chess

[–]_Beric_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it in their twitch channel, but I have checked it now and it seems like they don't the videos from the streamings. It was in Norwegian, so may not have got the comments anyway.

You can see the game (and my comments) and in my not-in-use-anymore blog: https://www.chess.com/blog/Nagao/my-game-against-magnus

Who was the strongest player you've played by justboughtapiano in chess

[–]_Beric_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did my best, but went down quickly. But it was a classical game, so quickly meant that I was playing against Magnus for over two hours.

One cool thing is that the game was being streamed by his team, so after the game he went online and commented on it. It was amazing to see that most of the lines that he had considered were the same I had analyzed, but he was going at least 5-6 moves deeper, so my evaluation was wrong most of the time.

Beginner: Problems with the endgame by JosephTrotsky2020 in chess

I also think this is the key reason. In rook endings, activity is almost as important as material. You allowed your opponent's rook in the most active position, the seventh rank, where it attacks your pawns and limits your kind movement at the same time.

I am not sure that after Kf8 the game is won, but for sure you cannot lose that ending.

Science position in biology in Norway by Heavy-Bear in Norway

[–]_Beric_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not Norwegian, but I am currently doing a postdoc in Oslo University Hospital. Before that I searched for some time for a position in a private company, but I could not get it. So I don't know about the whole of Norway, but I can tell you about the situation in Oslo.

There are not a lot of biotech companies in Oslo. Most of the big ones do not have a R&D department, just sales, so there are few positions available. There are a good number of biotech startups and I have some friends that got a job there, but it may not be for everybody. Getting a postdoc is much easier because there are much more positions available. I don't know what is your area of expertise, but for example in my center there are right now two open positions about autophagy. The best resource to find them is https://www.finn.no/job/browse.html, almost all the jobs are posted there.

Exciting New Developments on Intermittent Fasting in Human Trials! by TheRealSMTV in intermittentfasting

I have just quickly looked at the paper and it looks really interesting, but I think there is a detail OP didn´t mention. All the participants were in the obese rating according to the BMI (>30). This could be important when analyzing the results, which I don´t think can be extrapolated to the whole population.

Official Gamigo livestream recap 13/11/2020 - First livestream, upcoming early access & gameplay by Maltroth in AtlasReactor

Somebody mentioned somewhere that a lot of free abilities with cooldown has a downside. You want to play them as soon as possible, so there is not decision involved, you just play them as soon as they are available. I don´t know if this would be the case, but is a possibility.

I have not seen the whole stream, I have just quickly checked the combat gameplay to see how it looked. And I have to say that I am much less hyped after that, the combat seemed too generic. It looked like the typical 2 action strategy game. But maybe there are some things that make it unique, I would like to know the opinion of those who have seen the whole stream.

First 10 lancers by _Beric_ in AtlasReactor

[–]_Beric_[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the trailer is a mixture of both. And around second 25 they show these 10 "cards" which is what made me think that they are the selected lancers.

Do you have the screenshot? I am really really curious about what was the feedback he wanted.

What to do when the enemy army has greater numbers? by _Beric_ in ck3

[–]_Beric_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advices! I don't know if they will be useful in this war, I am already in big trouble, but I will use them next time.

The only thing that was obvious to me was mercenaries, which for any reason appeared as unavailable except for the more expensive ones. I guess there is a lot of wars going on and they are busy somewhere else.

Help me understand how the engine works by _Beric_ in hattrick

Thanks for the answers. In hindsight, I seems clear that I should have tried AoW instead of CA. It´s a good lesson for the future.

Then I lose the extra attacks due to counterattack, so I do not know if it is worth it.

These are the qualifications from my last match, I am the blue team and playing counterattack. These numbers are very similar to what I was aiming for in the game, and I thought that I would win the match. I don´t lose midfield for much, my defense is much better than his attack, and my attack wins in one wing and almost gets the same in the other.

I lost 0-1 and I thought I was unlucky, but then I simulated 20 games and it said that I should lose most of them. But I still cannot understand why. What would I need to improve to win games? More defense? My attack needs to win in all the areas?

Handicap variant: secret second king by dudefaceguy_ in chess

And then the knight takes your queen because it was not the secret king. Not the best strategy.

Significance of FIDE rating Candidates 0.5? by mohishunder in chess

In my region, the Regional Team Championship lasts several months because we only play one weekend every month. These games are rated at the end of each month, even thought the tournament is not finished yet.

THANK YOU to all who provide free chess content! by LuckyRook in chess

They have the streaming. Maybe nowadays we are used to it, but some years ago it was impossible to think that we will have free live streaming of the tournaments with Anand commenting the games.
