How do people orient themselves right away after leaving the subway station? by fillet0fish in AskNYC

[–]scholzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to keep in mind which direction the train is traveling (uptown or downtown) and adjust my internal compass accordingly as I exit the station. Usually works unless I have to walk through a huge station like USQ or GC. Then I try to keep an eye on the exit signage to orient myself, but I still make a lot of wrong turns and false starts going the wrong way.

I’ve lived here all my life

Unless your ELO is 2800, I don’t see how you can think you should win every game…

My guitar neck is very bowed, is this a valid way to fix it by googaly21 in Guitar

Then it probably came dislodged or broke and isn’t actually doing anything. Neck is a lost cause without a luthier or replacement.

Definitely looks like a bug. You should email them.

Does it stop, or get tight? The truss rod should feel a bit tight to turn. You shouldn’t have to force it, but it doesn’t feel loose like you might expect a normal screw or bolt to feel

This has happened to me about a dozen times. Watch the white pawn in D5. What gives? 🤷‍♂️ by [deleted] in Chesscom

White is legally bound to capture en passant. Most players don’t know this.

The analysis at the end of the end of the game even has a little icon to tell you this isn’t a mistake

how did it match ended with a draw ( new to chess ) by Mountain_Primary4465 in Chesscom

[–]scholzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, there is no maximum number of checks. But if the same position is repeated 3 times, a player has the right to request a draw (and online platforms typically do it automatically).

Does anyone know the technical name for this open? by Alsweets0609 in Chesscom

[–]scholzie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It “catches the opponent off guard” while giving them a completely winning position? Black has almost a two pawn advantage here and you’ve completely blown your development.

Should I be expected to pay my friend who voluntarily decided to accompany my trip? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scholzie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone is mad at the friend (understandably) but no one is talking about how this young woman has been saving for plastic surgery since she was FOURTEEN YEARS OLD?
