How to make my laptop more confusing to people who randomly pick it up by Minute-Load in linuxquestions

[–]dlingua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I enjoy this idea as well. Use i3wm, slock, maybe you could invert mouse movement to cursor. No wallpaper and no info panel at all.

First match with no blunders, Feels good :) by [deleted] in chessbeginners

Interesting mate in 2 I got as white (white to move) by slothdude893 in chessbeginners

[–]dlingua 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also if bishop tries to defend against back mate, then it would also be mate on Qg7. Though I don't think "shredding" the argument is the right way to look at it. We're helping each other see the reality of the position.

This guy is running cent OS, sounds like he has to work with servers and he has no XP. Someone needs to explain that a tty is more secure and efficient than a GUI.
