Now 200,000,000 Americans rejoice because Donald The Peaceful gets to replace her with a Justice Scalia type.

And since the libs won only a pyrrhic victory in 2018, they can't do anything about it.

<Tga>, have you come up with anything besides having to divide the resources?>

The things I mentioned previously, those were the points that I thought about previously.

I just wanted to give my commentary on this new political turn of events.>

Surely Lucifer could do better!

Amy Winehouse, for example.

I'd rather have AW picking up soap in front of me, than RBG:

The things I mentioned previously, those were the points that I thought about previously.

The stuff that I thought about, I posted about. The stuff I didn't think much about, well, I didn't <post> much about.>

Okay, so far for a list of downsides to breaking up America:

1. Dividing resources

Surely Lucifer could do better! >

I'm starting to think that this hasn't had critical thinking applied to it yet, on either side.

Your thoughts please.

I would be very much interested to learn when China was <not> stealing (or trying to steal...) our technology.>

It's more likely a question of workload cycles.

I was planning to play OTB chess again this year. Targeting the 2020 World Open. (Obviously, Covid ended that.)

This required a massive upgrade in my opening repertoire, and a study of new lines. (My books from the 70s/80s had too many computer errors)

In the study of my old games, I was shocked to find ones with no, or very low computer error. (Even as a 1700 to 1800 player)

You hear things like: "Fischer would get killed today." How can that be when 1700, 1800, 2100s were playing accurate chess in the 1970s?

To take computer prep out of the equation I decided to test Fischer blitz vs modern blitz. (you cant really take computers out of the equation, but I'm guessing it's less important in blitz)

Obviously for Fischer it's the Herceg Novi
1970 blitz tournament. For today's players take your pick as blitz has become a way of life.

I chose the 2017 St Louis blitz tournament because that was when I started thinking about this.

Using Stockfish 11, at a fixed search depth of 30-ply per move I've so far tested 3 games each of Karjakin and Fischer.

I'm not really that familiar with these games and chose them mostly for size. In this sample Karjakin has 2 whites/1 black. Fischer has 2 blacks/1 white. Karjakin/Fischer won all 6 games.

1) Error rate: measures how much your move caused the eval to drop. If the computer thinks the position rates
+1.25, and your move causes it to rate +1.0 that is a .25 pawn error.

2) First engine move, counts how many first engine moves you made.

Error rate:
(3 game total)

Karjakin lost 15.35 pawns out of 100 moves analyzed.

He played 53 1st engine moves out of 100 moves analyzed.

Error rate:

15.35/100 = .154 error per move

1st engine move: 53/100= 53%

Karjakins opponents:

46.43/100 = .464 error per move
38/100 = 38%

Bobby Fischer:
(3 game total)

13.3/111 = .120 error per move
63/111 = 56.76%

Fischer's opponents:

47.7/109 = .438 error per move
41/109 = 37.61%

Best 1st engine move game:

Karjakin: 65.52%
Fischer: 77.14%

While it wasn't a metric I was planning to look at, Fischer also played the most 1st engine moves in a row, with 15.

I'm also looking at an indicator to measure how efficient/accurate your win was, and who had the better side of a draw.

So with these first 6 games, Fischer is in the lead, even though it was 50 years ago, and he never saw computer output like today's players.

How accurate is the map in your opinion?>

It must have been a nightmare just to participate with him in the same tourney :p

How accurate is the map in your opinion?>

Fairly accurate, but not perfect. For example, Virginia is totally run by Dems now, and they are gun grabbers.

How did this happen to a proud and formerly Confederate state in Dixie? Government growth, that's how. All kinds of lib carpet baggers work in the ever-increasingly-expensive Federal government. And they have to live somewhere.

Also, a problem with map is that unfortunately, big cities tend to be cucked, even if the state is not. For example, Nashville and Boise and some towns in Montana.

Often I see engine evals change by a small amount, which has no effect on the advantage the GM has in the position. It's just a matter of taste or style.

In other cases, the engine is just wrong. This frequently happens in the KID, when the computer overstates the strength of White's position.

For example:

W So vs Nakamura, 2015

No, I figure the noise will average out in the end. If SF doesn't get it, that's its problem. :)

<After the game Nakamura, who is very experienced in the KID, said that Wesley probably went wrong in his prep by trusting the engine evaluation.>

Yeah, in this French position:

SF has no problem playing Kf8 to protect the g pawn.

When you actually play it out, the eval starts to creep in white's favor. It's like it doesn't really understand the position.

Nice study. Keep on. What is your rating?>

Drunk: very possibly. Libtard: not me.

And you are right about the computers' tendency to incorrectly evaluate some French positions. I think they get lost in their evaluations following this French Position:

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. a3 Bxc3+ 5. bxc3 dxe4

Meanwhile, the libs that are on the next level up from the libs on the Other Page are posting here, disagreeing, arguing, debating and expressing themselves in the Free Speech Zone, where they <know> they will find satisfaction in engaging in spirited disagreement without all the noise.

After all, this is not <NOZZLE'S PLAYPEN>, the is the Free Speech Zone. All the libs will have to admit that they've been free to express themselves here without limitations, no matter how morally disgusting their liberal political and philosophical worldviews are.

The libs on the Other Page are the bottomfeeders. Libs in the Free Speech Zone would never publicly agree with me that the Other Page Libs are the bottomfeeders because they're on the same side. They are of the same spirit and are, in a sense, brothers-in-arms, if you will. However, Free Speech Zone Libs don't appreciate the "help" they might receive from the Other Page Libs.

We know it.
They know it.

Just as the Elite Posters recognize one another without having to name names, so too the libs recognize who and what the Bottomfeeder Libs are.

So what does this mean for the Free Speech Zone? Do we have to pretend we're participating in a college debate? No. Does this mean we have to cloak our language in purple prose? No.

Does this mean we have to pretend to respect the other guy's point of view? No. Does this mean that only polite and "civil" conversation is allowed in the Free Speech Zone? No.

Let us not be fake in the Free Speech Zone.

Let us speak the language of the common man in the Free Speech Zone.

Let us do away with phony cordiality, phony respect, false modesty and other such dishonest hogwash.

The Free Speech Zone is a place to express yourself casually if you like, or with collegiate tone if you prefer that. Either way, the choice is yours.

In the Free Speech Zone you don't have to respect me, like me, be polite to me, be civil to me or hide your ego. In other words, you can be yourself without having to put on any airs.

Consider for example Gov Cuomo and his administration. Not only did they put covid-positive patients in the nursing homes, which lead to many more thousands of needless deaths, but they also told their citizens not to listen to the warnings Trump was issuing about the coronavirus and to go out and see a show, visit Chinatown, attend the Chinese Day Parade, keep the schools open, keep public transportation open and allow people from their state to leave and super-spead the virus all over the country.

Consider Nancy Pelosi who got on TV and encourage people to visit Chinatown and not to listen to Trump because he was racist and xenophobic and that the Coronavirus wasn't that big a deal.

Please consider my question at the top of this post, but allow me to point out something else.

The bottomfeeder libs on the Other Page are so incredibly stupid (not hyperbole) that they rejoice in counting up the number of dead due to the coronavirus because they <think> it makes the Orange Man bad.

They are too ignorant, too stupid, too foolish to realize the that the liberal governors and mayors are completely responsible for the way the pandemic was handled in their respective states and cities. Look at that low-IQ libtard <Chancho>. He's so stupid that he doesn't even realize he's stupid. Dunning-Kruger Effect - textbook example.

This <idiot> spends time every day counting up the dead thinking he's makin Trump look bad! He <really> really, really thinks that!

We're talking about libtards that see BLM riots in 400 cities across America for 3 months, a subsequent rise in covid cases, and then blame that rise in covid cases on a Trump rally!

Believe it or not, Elite Posters, the libs on the Other Page are made of stuff that allows them to be <convinced> of this!

Breathtakingly stupid. I mean, this is foolishness and ignorance on a whole new level.

Don't believe me? Just go look at the Other Page and see for yourself.

Here's the kicker: they fancy themselves enlightened.

No doubt <Chancho> is the guy you see driving around by himself in his car with his mask and gloves on.

No doubt <JohnLSpouge> is the douche you see wrapped in skin tight spandex riding his bicycle down the street with his mask on.

(They never are.)

<Anyhow, you did not respond to my suggestions about the market value of a vote. This was a serious, groundbreaking ( also wind-breaking) proposal, so I am surprised that you seem to have missed it.>

Look <Tigga>, I need to find your commentary interesting in order to feel compelled to give it a serious response. Frankly, I do not find drunks to be interesting to talk to and certainly not to debate.

We don't always have to be caught up in a serious debate about the <big questions> in life in the Free Speech Zone. We can have a few laughs here as well, but you're not funny and belligerent drunks never are.

If you want to debate me, then you better bring your A-game. You ran away from me before when I challenged you on the God Debate. You know when you run away from a challenge like that you have egg on your face. How does one save face in that situation? He can't.

Nothing saves face in that situation. You can try the, "Yawn. I'm not interested in imaginary beings. Yawn. I'm not going to <waste my time> because it's <too boring>. Yawn."

When I read that kind of thing, I see my opponent on their knees before me, groveling, begging, naked, helpless, begging me to let them exit the debate or challenge. Begging me to allow them to save a little face.

The lurking reader may wonder, "Is this guy for real?"

Yes, this guy is for real. Yes, I really do see it like that and you know what? You do too.

We all do.

Atheists do not have good reasons to think that atheism is true, and when they run up against a guy like me, they won't even get in the ring because they know better.
