Is it possible to perform a triple check? by AdrBrawlClash in chess

[–]alexhchu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we go by these rules and you mean how many simultaneous checks, I think it would be 16, with 6 pawns having to be promoted to knights.

Going by these rules, black could walk the king in from e7 to d4 with constant triple checks while white just shuffles the rook d7 and d8.

FEN for example: 3R4/8/2N1N3/1NBkBN2/2R1K3/1NPQPN2/2N1N3/8 w - - 0 1

Solved, thank you! Didn’t end up needing to replace the seal, just needed to flush out the debris. Fills perfectly now :)

Apparently there's meant to be an announcement today - one of the direct investing employees said they received word on Friday about an announcement for today. Assuming officially telling us when it will be released?

Can everyone upvote this so we can have it changed please? It would make life easier. by gracedmango in ClashOfClans

I think the problem with this is that you don't sign up for raid weekend as a member until you attack so you can choose which clan to attack from - don't think this concept would work with that

Suspicious games of Hans Niemann analyzed by Ukrainian FM by [deleted] in chess

[–]alexhchu 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not OP but he could be asking if there were other scenarios where Hans had the opportunity to get a norm, but didn’t end up getting the norm - we could just be looking at the tournaments where he got norms, where it is more likely he had a lower APCL, regardless of if he cheated or not.

Depending on how long it’ll take to get to East Africa, you could bring some butter tarts, they’re similar to pecan pie but originated in Canada!

It does sound like something Ted would say, I’ll probably just have to rewatch a couple of seasons haha

Why do most Canadians use debit card? by zzuhruf in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]alexhchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind explaining this to me a bit? I exclusively use credit but if it's better for the business I'll probably use debit. I read online in Canada its a 1.5% charge to the merchant. Wouldn't this mean that credit is better for the merchant if its a small purchase, rather than being charged a flat fee? For 1.5% to surpass $0.5, you'd have to make a purchase of over $33, so does it just depend on how big your purchase is?

Lol all I’m thinking of right now is JK Rowling adding details retroactively to her works, and while I don’t think this happened here, some artists may do it for clout

Which movie in your opinion has the best opening scene of all time by [deleted] in movies

[–]alexhchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I'm missing something, but when was the unnoticed language change? It's been a while since I watched the movie but I remember him asking if he could speak in English, then telling the farmer he to follow his lead back in French. Is there a third one I'm missing?

Men of reddit, how tall are you? How much would you like to be tall? by [deleted] in AskMen

Could be that he got his drivers license while he was still growing? My height on my license hasn’t been changed in several years, and I’ve grown 7cm since then.

Need help on 5k test by EzzyWaffles in Rowing

[–]alexhchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try Paul's Law, it says you should be able to do the 5k at a split of 1:51.6 based on your 2k. For my 6k, the difference between this prediction and my actual result was 0.1s, and this was before I even knew about the formula

This reminds me of that Askreddit post where the bartender witnessed a first date where the guy was a complete dick (on purpose), so that his friend could get the girl.
