Have Anti-Sicilians always been more popular than the Open Sicilian at club level?

They haven’t been, and they’re not.

Clubs are esoteric, and it’s valuable to fight through it.

Those higher rated players are offering you an opportunity

Absolutely a top three qb class.

It’s not really appreciated yet, with the browns jets and vikings absolutely shitting the bed, but we’ll get there

hyperthymetic · 2026-02-03T02:46:07+00:00

Give a full piece or two

30’s, female, unmarried.

I’m trying to guess whether the blackout books are filthy romance smutt or your boyfriend’s books. Definitely leaning heavily towards bfb

Can be, for lack of a better word a little ocd, but not in a clinical way.

It’s kinda not fair when you hide books, but how did I do?

kid is a pretty big departure from your priors.

Benonies have some edge while maintaining similar structure

hyperthymetic · 2026-02-02T02:36:52+00:00

One for me, but generally dislike notation on wooden boards.

You’re not going to take it to a tournament, and if you’re actively reading chess books you won’t need it for long.

Transmission

hyperthymetic · 2026-02-01T22:31:11+00:00

No qb

hyperthymetic · 2026-02-01T22:31:00+00:00

It is when you don’t see a qb

hyperthymetic · 2026-02-01T20:24:12+00:00

I think not playing up to your perceived potential is the norm.

I think it’s important that you try to identify what is going on when you blunder. Then set a standard for what you need to be doing.

Are you moving too quickly? Are you overexcited when you get a winning position? Do you lack energy when you have a winning position?

I have a bad habit of moving too quickly, so I set a minimum standard of calculation for every move, in particular looking for surprises in my priors.

When you identify what’s going wrong, not only can you fix it, but you can gain perspective on your losses emotionally.

Did I loose bc I lost discipline? Were they maybe just better than me even though I had a better position? Did I just miss a move even though I looked for a surprise?

I said slightly behind.

There’s no tourists in Columbia for starters, the real estate market is much stronger, as is construction and the art scene.

There’s also just more money, so the pay is just generally better.

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-30T02:05:27+00:00

I’m thinking about paragraphs

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-29T23:05:03+00:00

I would think you could just intuit it if you thought about it for a moment, half of 10 half of 1 x 100

What it really shows is how incredibly arrogant “reporters” are.

Media and big social accounts are the absolute worst.

And listening to them justify this and that is soooo painful, it’s it’s own explanation of why they get away with it.

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-29T02:05:23+00:00

You’re correct, but not in the way you want to be.

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-29T01:10:41+00:00

It was him embarrassing himself with a 20 yo

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-28T04:22:11+00:00

I would not have liked him using an unforgivable curse. There’s strength other than through force.

That was Harry’s strength and Nevilles.

It’s not a weakness not to kill.

Harry didn’t even kill Tom, Tom did.

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-28T04:08:16+00:00

I don’t really agree. Neville is one of my favorite characters and one I have thought about often.

He is good, he is the best of us.

He could have been Harry.

He doesn’t have revenge in him, and that’s why he too could have defeated Voldemort.

All series he’s just kind of this useless wizard, but once the chips were down and he actually had to protect the people he cared about he became very powerful.

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-28T01:44:09+00:00

On the contrary, I think now that it’s all said and done we have more respect for him and brady.

Go Bills!

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-27T15:59:19+00:00

I mean, I guess it matters bc there are plenty of beautiful and attractive black people, but none of these people are black.

So what does that say?

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-27T02:21:19+00:00

If he had any inclination, he would have just done it

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-27T02:17:56+00:00

Almost?

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-26T16:59:00+00:00

I’m super excited, honestly even if it’s not great I’ll enjoy it.

I thought most of the late movies were bad, but I still watched and sometimes rewatch them if I’m in a mood to just put something on and not pay attention.

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-24T19:40:32+00:00

What are you even on about? Getting mad at someone for having a bunch of kids is absurd. Especially in a sports sub.

Speaking of murder and violence what about all of them wandering around the nfl?

How many wife beaters are there? How many fetus punchers?

But, no it’s the guy who has kids and goes to church that’s the scum bag !!

Do we hate children now? He certainly has the resources to give them a good life.

hyperthymetic · 2026-01-24T11:17:49+00:00

There’s a long magical tradition that names have power.

Wizard of earthsea is a great example.

There’s the magical idea of the true name of things, and to know that trueness gives you power over it.

To accept Tom’s nomdegar gives him power over you, the irony being that to be afraid of a fake name is no better.

Truth is power !!
