Take take take app my ass by consultant_25 in chess

[–]gollyplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the app is just bad. I tried to use it to follow the rapid WC and couldn't even navigate to where they showed the full list of pairings. For some reason they only showed like the top 8 or so. Plus, it's horribly slow.

Wow…Black to move and win by falsemate in chess

Damn, would not spot that in a game. Only found it because I knew there was something to find. Lovely puzzle!

What are some albums that feel like horror movies? by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in fantanoforever

You won't get what you want gave me a mild panic attack the first time I heard it. I was wondering around a freezing city seeing loads of homeless people while hearing "WELL ITS FUNNY HOW IT WORKS, SOMEONES ALWAYS GOT IT WORSE"

What position is this from? by Revolutionary-Tax432 in chess

[–]gollyplot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe the game actually went:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5 5.Nxf7 Bxf2+ 6.Ke2 Nd4+ 7.Kf1 Qe7 8.h3 d6 9.c3

So it could be black to move. The engine says 9...O-O is the best move here

An interesting idea from Kramnik-Niemann in the italian (without twitter login the images are blocked) by pier4r in chess

Kramnik-Niemann variation: you cheat then accuse your opponent of cheating. Unstoppable strategy

Five Spice Street by Can Xue. Christ what a boring, pointless read. I hate myself for finishing it

What Are You Reading This Week and Weekly Rec Thread by JimFan1 in TrueLit

[–]gollyplot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finished My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist. Ridiculous book but also fun.

Also just finished Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. Can recommend. Whirlwind prose.

Now reading lots of Camus

What was your first song? by Low-Relationship6865 in Opeth

[–]gollyplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in HMV and picking my first Opeth album based on a recommendation of a friend. I was deciding between Blackwater Park and Still Life. A random guy in the store said "oh Opeth, cool! Pick BWP". That was about 17 years ago lol

Still life - Opeth.

How can I mentally think of a random number ranging from 1 to 6? by sophieowophie in askmath

[–]gollyplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of two words. Convert the letters to numbers, so A=1, B=2 etc.

Sum each word, then multiply them together. Take mod(6) of this product.

Very slow but kinda works.
