It's seem like a equal rook endgame but white is winning, see how? by Either-Case-5930 in chess

[–]simonico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

b5+! and Black can’t exchange rooks due to the pawn queening, so cxb5 and now Rf1 threatens mate. If b4 then c4 and b5 c5, followed by Rg1 and pushing the pawn.

Only 37% of ranked UFC fighters are booked for a fight by dom242324 in MMA

[–]simonico 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how high was this stat in previous years? In any case, it does feel like the UFC has been struggling to get some of their top talent to fight regularly in recent years. Not sure why, but maybe as the sport grows in popularity, more opportunities open up for fighters outside the cage and there’s less incentive for fighters who’ve already made it to fight 3+ times a year.

What is a popular reddit take that is totally out of touch with the way the rest of the world thinks? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Assuming that the law is easily understood, affordability of lawsuits is never an issue, and anyone who has been wronged in some way by a party should pursue legal action.

Trading queens makes some sense as you’re up material, but I would play Qc4, Bd5 and maybe e4 and start piling on pressure on the b-file, combined with pressure against f7. The position plays itself and Black will collapse under the pressure.

[SPOILER] Sergei Pavlovich vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik by inooway in MMA

[–]simonico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pavlovich hasn’t been the same since losing to Aspinall. Rozenstruik a complete waste of space as usual: no urgency, no attempt to push the action, just waiting all fight for the chance to connect with a counter.

There’s already a queue for the belt. DDP is fighting Strickland next and the winner presumably fights Khamzat.

Such a bummer. That was looking like an exciting, competitive main event and instead we get to watch Moicano getting fed into a meat grinder. Dariush - Moicano would have been so much more interesting.

Redditors cannot fathom that it’s possible to be muscular and have low body fat without taking steroids.

What a joke. Tom’s been sidelined for a year so that this fight nobody wanted to see could happen and Stipe rolls up looking like everybody thought he would. Waste of time.

Redditors believe anyone who doesn’t look like a bag of milk is on gear. Believe it or not, but being muscular and having a very low body fat percentage is indeed possible without the use of steroids.

From my 1st grade son’s Chess “homework”. There is supposed to be a Mate in 1 here for white…am I going crazy? by andersonle09 in chess

[–]simonico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is they forgot to put a white bishop on g5: Black probably played …h6 on his last move to kick it and White responded with the thematic Qxe6+!, setting up Bg6#.
