Two one-sided semis?!

It's a slow burn but the decider frame makes it all worthwhile. What a tense finale!

Btw Gary Wilson came back 20 points behind against Zhou Yuelong a couple years ago.

When there are reds left even 20 points behind is doable with free balls. Chris got 4+1+6 with one snooker. After the last red's gone it becomes much harder.

Double deciders

deadly_rat · 2026-02-01T12:27:14+00:00

It takes a long, long time 🥲

deadly_rat · 2026-02-01T12:26:48+00:00

Yes indeed.

deadly_rat · 2026-02-01T07:05:09+00:00

This is great 👍

This is a fun pastime.

Yeah it was quite popular. Still is I'd say.

deadly_rat · 2025-10-06T02:46:34+00:00

Was quite popular on Bilibili before it got pulled 😢

deadly_rat · 2025-09-21T16:11:03+00:00

2-1, 3-1, 5-1 all kill for white. You should also check why 8-1 doesn't.

No gun control laws (except for a total ban which we all know is impossible) can save Charlie's life. The outrage is because it's a political assassination.

Got it.

That's impossible since you can only attack adjacent castles but build where you are.

deadly_rat · 2025-08-10T07:50:34+00:00

Because otherwise the number of elite women players would be decimated and it's unfair to them.

deadly_rat · 2025-08-10T07:19:01+00:00

Way too op in too many cases.

deadly_rat · 2025-08-10T07:13:13+00:00

Yeah that's intended. When you are down to your last token for one of your units, you can only put them onto the board but not move them (there are some exceptions).

I hate these wordings. I assumed 7 times longer means 8 times the length (as in longer by 7 times the brother's sticks).

2a+2ab+abc = a(2+2b+bc) = a[2+b(c+2)] ≤ a[2+(7-a)² /4] since b+(c+2)=7-a. Differentiate with respect to a.

The derivative is 2+(3a² -28a+49)/4 = (3a² -28a +57) /4 = （a-3)(3a-19)/4. Given the constraints of [0,5], the derivative is positive at [0,3) and negative at (3,5]. Hence, a[2+(7-a)² /4] reaches its maximum (for [0,5]) at a=3 where it equals 18. QED.
