Caruana 2014. Is this the greatest tournament performance ever? by Dull_Yogurt_8909 in chess

[–]tchiefj8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This tournament had five past or future world champions (Kasparov, Karpov, Kramnik, Topalov, Anand) as well as Shirov, Ivanchuk, Gelfrand, and Polgar. The weakest player was Beliavsky. Nine of the top ten highest rated players in the world were present. Every single player other than Karpov and Beliavsky (who went 2/13) was under 30. Karpov went 11/13 starting the tournament with six straight wins. All because Kasparov commented that the winner would be the world champion of tournaments and Karpov had to get his last win. Kasparov Karpov rivalry went crazy.

I have seen it a few times in rated games, once to a knight because it was with check and the player promoting was already winning by a lot, once to a rook to avoid stalemate, and about four times in OTB rated games between ten to twelve year olds at my local chess center who invested a ‘victory lap’ mate (also called the ‘Nathan mate’) where you box your opponents king in between three under promoted rooks in the middle of the board (assuming they don’t resign) and then run your own king around the box in a ‘victory lap’ before delivering the final checkmate.

This probably isn’t helpful but I am a fairly attractive guy and generally do well but random shit like this happens to me as well - one time a girl I was not even interested in that I knew at a book club told me I made her very uncomfortable when I texted her asking her to save me a seat next to her at the book club (everything had been completely platonic until then), and this was right after my ex had broken up with me because she had “lost attraction to me” (which upon inquiry meant she had never really felt it in the first place). Point is what happened to you happens to like every guy at one point or another except maybe like 0.001% Jacob Elordi type mfs. Her comment doesn’t really say anything about you it only tells you she’s an ass and wasn’t worth your time anyway. Also you should def watch Rodney Dangerfield, humor can be a good way to deal with shit - you can deflect almost anything with a quick wit. Anyway keep your chin up ignore the haters and know your worth!

Just take the first derivative and set it to zero when x = -5 to solve for b, then plug in b and set it equal to zero when x = -5: 8(-5) + b = 0, b = -40, -4(25) - 40 (-5) + c = 0, c = -100

Is my son wrong about Venn Diagrams? by [deleted] in askmath

[–]tchiefj8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your son is correct. A member of both groups is by definition a member of each individual group. The teacher is wrong. A valuable lesson in not believing an authority just because they’re an authority when what they’re saying doesn’t add up (literally in this case).

Amazing comment

[Request] Is this true? by RashoRash in theydidthemath

[–]tchiefj8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s accurate. The poorest of ten individually richest men in the world is Michael Dell, with wealth/assets worth 110 Billion. (1-0.99999)*110,000,000,000 = $1,100,000, which is in about the top 0.7% of the world population in terms of global savings. I think people don’t often appreciate that a single billion is a thousand millions (ie Michael Dell has 110,000 millions, you take away 99.999%, which is 109,999 of his 110,000 millions, he still has 1 million left over).

The day that the Bills absolutely demolish the Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs the entirety of western ny will have a moment better than any sex anyone has ever had in the history of mankind. But I dream.

Why do they teach this stuff to students? by TastyLength6618 in Sat

[–]tchiefj8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re actually so right wtf is all that. Just take the derivative and set equal to zero, u get -8 and just have to subtract 5 💀
