| Nov-22-12 | | notyetagm: D Harika vs Zhao Xue, 2012 http://chess2012.ugrasport.com/?p=2...
click for larger view<Black has three extra pawns and a completely won position. As Harika Dronavalli said after the game, in her opinion practically any move wins for her opponent, except the one that Zhao actually played.For instance, 66…Qe6 67.Qc7+ Nd7 leaves no problems for Black. Chinese players are known for their great calculation skills. However, here “the program” gave an error: 66...exf3??
<<<White, almost not believing her luck, immediately gave a saving perpetual:>>> 67.Qc7+ Kh8 68.Qe5+ Kh7 69.Qc7+ Kh8 70.Qe5+ Kh7 Draw> |

| Nov-22-12 | | waustad: About dimensions I always like to point out to students that to calculate your bill at the grocery store you are actually computing a dot product between an amount vector and a price per amount vector. This is using an N dimensional space where N is the number of different items sold at the store. There is nothing special about 3D. |

In the first game, she played a forcing variation and by move 18, had an much better position. <<<After 18...Bg6? she could have sacrificed her queen with 19.dxc5 and obtained two new queens in compensation>>>, but instead, she played a human move, and ended up a whole piece down, with unclear prospects. ...> 18 ... ♗h5-g6?

| Nov-22-12 | | notyetagm: Zhao Xue vs D Harika, 2012 http://whychess.com/en/node/4760?ut... <Zhao Xue was in a complete stupor after the first rapid game. She could hardly have expected that her position would turn so bad within a couple of moves. By move 25, it looked as though she had surrounded and would soon take the d-pawn, yet five moves later, this pawn had transformed from a weakness into a great strength. White concerned herself with material gain, without paying sufficient attention to her opponent's threats. The same thing happened in the fateful 2nd classical game. After 31.Qe3 the position still remained unclear, although there was little doubt as to Black's advantage. <<<After 32.Be3?? Black wins at once with 32...Qb3!>>> Could one overlook such a move - well, yesterday, Zhao missed the perpetual check... Out of inertia, she took on d2 but resigned next move, because of unavoidable mate.>

30...Ra1+ 31.Kg2 Ra2+ 32.Kf1 Ra1+ 33.Kg2 Ra2+ and the game was drawn.Vallejo admitted that he had also been tempted to play 30...Qxh2, which would oblige Aronian to force a draw with 31.Rg7+ Kxg7 32.Qe7+ when Black cannot escape the checks. <<<At the post-game press conference, Brazilian GM Gilberto Milos pointed out that 30...Qxh2 would actually have allowed 31.Ne5+!! fxe5 32.Rc7+, with mate to follow.>>>> (VARIATION)

| Nov-23-12 | | playground player: <Jessicafischerqueen> I know you like to collect odd Thanksgiving customs, so here's ours. After <Mrs. PGP> gets done cursing and wrestling with the turkey in the kitchen (there's not enough room in there for both of us), we like to watch <Godzilla vs. Megalon>. If you cannot perceive the connection between this movie and Thanksgiving... well, ha-ha-hah! The last time I prepared fried squid for a Thanksgiving get-together, it took me the whole bloody day and then the whole platter was consumed inside of five minutes. So I don't do that anymore. |

| Nov-25-12 | | playground player: <Jessicafischerqueen> I just found out something I didn't know: Medium-rare hamburgers are illegal in Canada. (See article in The National Post, http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/0... ) Once again, government knows best. Amazingly, the biggest ninnie in town turns into Solon the moment he's elected to any public office. As far as I have been able to ascertain, mulled squid juice is still legal. |
|
| Nov-25-12 | | Mrs. Alekhine: <Lee> good heavens, I had no idea. Here in my kitchen, I cook both hamburgers and squid "rare." Great article you linked. Here are my favorite two lines from it: <"if you see pink in a burger it means someone’s trying to kill you"> <“Is it too much to feel that it should be a basic right that one can cook and eat a hamburger without fear? To stand proud in my backyard … grilling a nice medium-rare f—ing hamburger for my kid-without worrying that maybe I’m feeding her a s— sandwich?”> |
