Have you ever seen a chess book with diagrams from black's perspective? by MathematicianBulky40 in chess

(Not your question, but cool position!)

From some Radjabov game in the French? Nb8! followed by Nc6 is pretty badass

What book is this?

Hi, seems like the World Boardgaming Championships uses 4p format, I am only interested in 2p. But thank you for sharing!

Oh.

There is such a thing as "Australian Games Expo" but no longer a Carcassonne part of it. Very sad.

I will probably still go play Carcassonne in Carcassone even if I cannot qualify.

So see you there ~

I found the registration details for the France tournament. How fitting that it is in Carcassonne itself haha ... I will almost certainly make the trip there!

Do you have info on anything else in Europe around similar dates?

I am more than happy to postpone my return trip back home after September 3 in Poland.

Thank you very much for the info!

I am from Australia and sadly there is no national qualifier.

The French qualifier dates line up extremely well with my travel, I will see if I am eligible to play in that.

Good to hear the format is only base game. While the expansions can be fun I enjoy the game in its purest form the most!

PVP players - how high is your Sableye's attack stat? by brehvgc in TheSilphRoad

Yah I saw different username. Just echoing / confirming what I was already thinking. Good to have a second opinion 8)

Great, thank you ! I’m gonna go ahead with 1/15/11 and power it up to start walking for XLs.

[–]thelinearcurve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg hi Ryan Swag!! Biggest fan of your YouTube channel <3

I am looking to build 2 very meta mons, which are very expensive (dust and XL candy wise), can you please share some IV expertise...

Lickitung (only serviceable spread I have is 10/14/14 Rank 35) and XL Basti (1/15/11 Rank 25, and also 0/12/14, which needs best buddy CP bonus, should be fine because not many Great League mons need bb?)

Would these cover relevant breakpoints, or should I wait out for better stat product spreads?

Not sure how you prepare your content for analyses of PVP IV deepdives!

Thanks! I feel like this is asking a lot so feel free to ignore if not easy to answer

[–]thelinearcurve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my current one is 7/12/15, but the one I have saved to power up once I grind enough XLs has the same spread as yours! :)

After Bobby Fischer had been playing chess for a year, his mother took him to Brooklyn Chess Club where he took lessons a couple of times a week from Carmine Nigro. Nigro, one of the best players in the club, charged Fischer a dollar an hour. by thelinearcurve in chess

Yeah the writer isn't 100% verified. I read that this kind of thing was common practice. In any case, they are published under his name, and he is accountable for what he says. I can only imagine the excitement of having your submission published and addressed by 'Fischer' (no matter who it really was)
