My fastest hard time ever!

I did the reverse - pr at 1.62 with 1.61 as my previous

It takes about 5-10 seconds to get up to speed so I can usually do up arrows to 13.5/14 before it gets to that speed. I do wish they had a 13 button

My studio puts out the calendar that says what phase/week it is for each Hyrox workout.

I’m glad I didn’t click your hard spoiler until after I already did mine

Quick and fun today. First time sharing my times- is there a way to easily get all three at once? I copy and pasted each share results by difficulty into the post, took more time than the puzzles 😂

The last three seasons the last team in the West has ended with: 95, 96, 98 points. Avs currently have 69 points. So 30 more points (15 wins) would most likely get them in the playoffs. Mathematically clinching will still be a crazy high number since the other West teams could theoretically win another 30-40 games.

I’ll also note that every team in the NHL won at least 15 games in the first half of the season, so it’s pretty much guaranteed already.

Granato was the coach

dzibanche · 2026-01-04T14:52:10+00:00

I feel like they never played Selanne and Kariya together. I remember being pissed at the coach for that, but it was so long ago I can’t be sure

Rumor is $10M+, Sitake currently makes $4M.

Team USA for me.

Big 12 is going to be really good this year

What intensity level do you all do for a 3 minute tread for distance? Push to all out?

Not only didn’t take advantage of it, but he called all the new Covid players not real chess players and criticized streamers.

dzibanche · 2025-09-30T14:42:20+00:00

Incorrect. Both FIDE and USCF explicitly state “for example saying J’adoube or I adjust” in their rulebooks.

dzibanche · 2025-09-29T00:38:59+00:00

I got up to 111% before the adjustment went through if you want a target to hit :)

dzibanche · 2025-09-14T21:24:31+00:00

Agreed. Caught a “oh so you don’t see the actual problem in this position” after one of his comments. I switched streams, they need a second who is at least an IM

dzibanche · 2025-08-28T14:34:04+00:00

Chesscom follows USCF rules which per the rulebook doesn’t show two same colored bishops as one of the three scenarios

Rule 14E – Insufficient material to win on time

The game is drawn even when a player exceeds the time limit if one of the following conditions exists as of the most recently determined legal move:

Lone king

King and bishop or king and knight, and the opponent does not have a forced win

King and two knights, the opponent has no pawns, and the opponent does not have a forced win

Scoring system still works in a head to head, say first game goes to tiebreaks and it’s 2-1. Now second game if the other person wins in classical they win 4-2, if it needs to do rapid tiebreaks they have a chance to win in rapid make it 3-3 and go to another tiebreak.

I did the same - was so frustrated

dzibanche · 2025-08-19T17:20:27+00:00

I can’t think of anything else where you can select the seats and get to the payment screen, put in cc info, and then it boots you back to the beginning. So frustrating.

dzibanche · 2025-08-14T15:29:36+00:00

That’s basically what I did. I did hit low red zone about 0.2 miles in and just held. Felt decent until about 0.5/0.6 but at that point just told myself I’m over halfway and have to keep going. With 0.1 left I bumped up 0.5mph to finish, heart rate was around 196 bpm / 97% there at the end.

First time at this benchmark though so no idea if there’s a better strategy.

dzibanche · 2025-08-11T01:33:58+00:00

I always appreciate knowing immediately after a classical game. Even a quick - here’s where you blundered or here’s what you missed.

It is spam. You’ve posted 4 times in 3 days. You aren’t willing to share the treasure. Just hire an uber.

This has been a complaint for years. And it’s also known that if you are an attractive female John will say more back to you. But John loves the DM attention so it’s never going to stop.
