  1. In RV I sometimes have an impression which I cant really put into words so I safe the safe details, like I have some impression which is about something and a detail is that it is purple, so I write down purple. That seems to be a mistake, I should capture the gist of it and if it isnt about that detail I shouldnt write it down. I had the impression freedom/ capturing today and the target was a baby turtle coming out of its egg and this was the gist of the impression which was hard to capture and I almost missed it.
  2. Sure, but everything below 5 reps isnt optimal for hypertrophy.
  3. Do you know the term ego lifting? Ofc there are legit cases of people being interested in powerlifting.
  4. How does white respond to Black Queen c1 in your scenario?
  5. Why would you test your strength for a 1 rep max if you can do it for reps? You can test your 10 rep max and then again 3-6 month later again. 1 rep max performance heavily depends on your central nervous system which is why skinny lifter can sometimes lift insane numbers. Their nervous system is just well trained.
  6. Black Queen to to c3 to grap the Bishop. Whites best move seems to be white Bishop to c2, threatening to mate on the h7 square with the white Queen next turn and also discover attacking the Black Queen with a Rook. Black Queen to g5 buys a turn and gets the Queen out of danger. White can offer a Queen trade with white Queen to g4, or retreat the white King to h1 in which case Black needs to cover the threat of mate on h7. The lower Black Knight to f6 seems like a solid choice as it also forces the Queen out.
  7. This is hilarious. Will continue watching it tomorrow:
  8. I just remember a friend always liked stunlock me when he asked me a question which ended with " ... but what does it really mean?" I only noticed that when he showed that to a friend of mine.
  9. This wasnt covered by any of my news sources. Is this a troll for clicks? I expect some of that. This is the source they quoted on Reddit, but I dont know if it is legit: https://www.justice.gov/multimedia/Court Records/Giuffre v. Maxwell, No. 115-cv-07433 (S.D.N.Y. 2015)/1332-16.pdf
  10. Socializing and dating. So many girls in your age group are fuckable because everyone is still young and beautiful and you arent mature enough to understand how immature these girls are so you can get so much romance. And if you didnt have many friends before you can all built it up later, high school doesnt define you at all.
  11. Its an ugly structure for white. A double pawn and non of them are connected. Still I think it would end in a victory for white.
  12. @integral Black or white?
  13. Oh yes he can. That leaves a 3 vs 2 Pawn endgame.
  14. No the King cant catch the e6 pawn.
  15. The bishop is protected by a pawn.
  16. Yes the Bishop is on b3 on the original puzzle. I guess Joshe has edited it out for simplicity. Unless you find a clever sequence you will clearly loose an endgame with such a material disadvantage. The black Rook cant do it alone.
  17. Not capturing the rook with the king leaves white with a crazy material advantage though. Black would only be left with a Rook and 2 Pawns vs a Rook, a Bishop and 4 Pawns.
  18. Rook to a8 check forces King to g7 as the only move, Rook to a7 forces the King to move again. Blacks King moving to the 8th rank again would lead to repetition down the line and the King also cant close the distance to the Rook because when the King moves out of check in the 7th Rank the white Rook can just grap the black Rook so the King needs to go the the 6th Rank. Here g6 is vastly superior to h6 because Black still keeps the option of mate in 1 by not blocking its Rook in that position. White has 4 options to prevent this: 1) Exchanging Rooks on h7 2) Bishop to d5 3) Rook to a6 going for another check 4) Bishop to f7 checking the King .. Option 2) and 4) are nonsense Option 1) forces the Black King to take the White Rook. Taking the Bishop would lead to a loosing endgame (4 white pawns vs 2 black paws with a Rook remaining each). However then Black cant stop the Pawn from reaching the 8th rank. So thats a winning sequence. Option 3) is kind of messy as the Black King has many different escape routes. If white plays right, white can win off this material advantage though. I dont think I added anything new, just bringing together what was already said.
  19. @integral still broken, you cant see the ranks
  20. Black pressures check mate in 1 so white can only get out of the situation with continuely giving checks each turn. Rook to a8 forces King g7. Rook g8 forces King h6. Check Mate in 1 is prevented. ... Bichop to d1 blocks the Kings way out and pressures check mate in 2 with Rook to g6 the following turn. To prevent this black can only stall with moving the black pawn to g4, but that can be taken out with the Bishop. Black can also attempt to trade Rooks with Rook to g7 but that seals the fate as it blocks the kings way out for the finisher Rook to h8. Have I missed something?
  21. Men my working memory is shit. I remember I could imagine some frequenes in my head back in the day, now its hard to imagine just a few steps if I dont see it directly in front of me. Its like I lost half my eyesight. Wtf happened to my brain.. Will try puzzles under different circumstances, with adhd medication, with body doubling and see if it has any effect.
  22. Black pressures check mate in 1 so white can only get out of the situation with continuely giving checks each turn. Rook to a8 forces King g7. Rook g8 forces King h6. Check Mate in 1 is prevented. Does the puzzle continue?
  23. From what I know Lesnar didnt have great charisma and acting though. His success in UFC is very unusal but comes from his actual wrestling background where he was very gifted at, not WWE.
  24. When I came home I was like, now I want to play a Rom-Hack of Pkmn Soul Silver for some reason. Doing some chess puzzles now and getting back to my usual state.
