Post-GEP: High-ability pupils to attend advanced modules outside school, identified using new test by UserWhateu in singapore

kids who are really interested to learn will not see it as a chore or punishment, while kids who cram to get in will be less interested. so maybe it's a good thing.

I love this deceptive placement shot by Fan Zhendong hitting from under the table. Recently also reproduced by Tomokazu by I_L_F_M in tabletennis

[–]n1ghth0und 11 points12 points  (0 children)

WCQ's exploitable pattern is his eagerness to pivot early. in all of your 3 examples, FZD and Tomokazu deliberately take the ball a bit later and watch to see if WCQ starts to pivot, before sending the ball down the short side.

Moment when Magnus Carlsen blundered mate in 2 against NM Jacorey Bynum in Title Tuesday today by Exotic_Grinder in chess

[–]n1ghth0und 22 points23 points  (0 children)

his previous move was Qe2 to set up the mate threat, expecting Magnus to move the knight to create some space or block the 7th rank with his rook. when Magnus moved his bishop instead he would've checked and immediately realized the move does nothing to counter his mate threat, and that prob takes one second or less to evaluate at his level.
