Since someone brought up the game of chess on here earlier,
here's a puzzle, that may be challenging for some and easy for others.

The last 2 times, you played black.
So, this time you are playing white, and it is your move.
Note that your queen is under attack by black's rook.

What are your 4 best moves in order.
Use K for King, Q for Queen, R for rook, B for bishop, N for knight and p for pawn.

The lower left hand corner is space a1.
The upper left hand corner is a8
The lower right hand corner is h1
The upper right hand corner is h8.

So, for instance, in the situation below,
if you were to move your king one space to the right that would be;

1. Kb4 (or K a4 to b4)

So, what is your best first 3 moves and the best response by black to each move ?
And then what is your 4th move ?

It's YOUR move. Do ya feel lucky ? Do ya ?

May the force be with you.

Chess is a game of kings.
Or it’s a game with Kings. Also checkers.
Anyway, this is about chess. It’s a game all about strategy & thought, where prowess comes not from
bicep or speed in a footrace but with one’s ability to think smartest & quickest.
For the past 200+ years or more, the top chess players in the world have been considered among the smartest & cleverest people in the whole
world, but their names are largely unknown.




The above video link shows a line graph of the top 10 chess players over
time & what countries they’re from. Fascinating stuff

This data was culled from three different sources of chess records-keeping. Some of the stats, especially with regard to the top player at any given time, are pretty staggering.

Its a complex issue that a lot of people are struggling with, for a variety of reasons. But the thing is, I'd like to get some feedback whether or not I should allow comments.

Box I had at home. I found this rare monopoly card,
Somebody here may be interested in it. Its in great condition and worth looking at.. If you Know anybody interested in having it let me know.

I will be joining some single peeps in the Fresno area at the end of this month for a game night. I imagine there will be men there that will bring their chess games because us single introverts like games like that…heady games, so I learned chess in one afternoon.

Ask me if I’m good at it though because that’s a whole other ball game…

I couldn’t understand what a stalemate was to save my life for a bit. So now without the aid of the internet I will try to tell you all what it is in my own words…and someone told me not to feel bad because it’s hard for a newbie to grasp but I want to understand damnit!

It is when the king, if he moves in any direction, will become under attack but he is not under attack until he does so. So the game is a draw.

Checkmate is when the king is directly under attack and when he attempts to move out of the way then he is still under attack. So the game is over.

Am I right or wrong?

Oh lawd.



This is fun though. I’m learning something new.

My own pick for game night though is a game called score four. I played that with a man once. He beat me every time but I had a blast playing that game. It’s like a three dimensional game of checkers. So I will be bringing that one to share.

I suggest that this wonderful site develop an al Gore rythym to screen out the fairly large percentage of scammers. Could be based on location, use of language, history, stories, etc. The few false positives could have a path to easily reapply, based on a few key variables. But then we'd miss all the great stories/proposals. Any folks have some of these to share, all intended to get USD's wired or mothers/kids in need of costly medical treatment? V-Aa.

All this talk of killing. Let's get serious. Flies are the real problem. Servants and minions of Bael. At long last someone has come up with a solution you can eat with.





Only $39.95. International orders are doable. Why wait? Buy six of them. Form a fly squad. Hoo Ra!

This month's free games on the PS4 is Worms Rumble and Just Cause 4. I decided to get both, and then play Just Cause 4. The lead character is Rico Rodriguez, an Agency asset, sent to topple various dictators around the World. The 4th game is set in a fictional South American country called Solís, which is home to extreme weather conditions. Rico takes on the Black Hand, the world's most powerful private army run by Gabriela Morales. The Black Hand served as a mercenary group to dictators Salvador Mendoza from the first Just Cause and Sebastiano Di Ravello in Just Cause 3. When Rico is shown evidence that his late father was working with The Black Hand, he plunges into the South American nation of Solís, the homeland of the Black Hand in search of answers.

The gameplay is an open world action adventure game, where the aim is to cause chaos. You do that by BLOWING S#!T UP! Literally! Anything marked with red can be blown up. We are talking fuel depots, barrels and various other things. You can also blow up fuel stations, which creates a MASSIVE fireball!



The devs of the game have REALLY made sure that the explosions looks as epic as possible, and they do! However - and there IS a however - the game has annoying side quests. One of the people offering side quests is an American film director, who is on Solís to shoot a movie, and she drafts Rico to shoot certain scenes. It can be a high speed pursuit, a wing suit stunt or a bike race. They are VERY annoying! As in "Oh stop giving me these damn side missions, please"

The story is just 20 hours long, and it's surprisingly boring. You'd think that in an action blow-stuff-up-epicly kind of game, the story would be equally as amazing. The only issue is: It isn't. When the story was completed, I was sitting in my chair going "That's it? Wow, that was anti climactic".. But I got the game for free, so I can't really complain.

Next up is House Flipper, a game that I have played extensively on the pc. It's now out on consoles, so I am playing it there as well!

Rating for Just Cause 4: 7/10

...Jewish uncle's advice to young h*rny Dustin H. in " The Graduate". While he was busy both marrying his princess GF, and poking her sleazy seducing mother. Almost half a century ago, it's striking how little awareness of this ticking environMENTAL timebomb existed. And which folks were at the top of the money grubbing pyramid in keeping awareness down. And so it goes, some profit, many loose. Come to think of it, the dynamic seems to be behind many of our problems. By dissing birth control, the few funny hatted butt f-ckers in the Vatican have made their 2 billion lemming followers efficient baby factories, all. And who doubts human population is the crux of the Earth's problem, alligned with the fossel fuel lobbies, food chemists, agrabusiness, and many others? Solutions, oh my astute CS fellow bozos on the bus, seem few, as long as human beings remain such. Fear and greed. Also drive the equities markets, no?
