I've played a couple of games at Level 3 and the bot has made some really dumb moves...almost like it intentionally wanted to lose the game. There is, you just need to find it. It may not be an obvious single move, but just a couple that were ineffectual, allowing your opponent to gain a positional advantage. That's were it's important to know your game plan and work towards it. Later, when you replay and critique, ask yourself how those moves furthered your objective. Do you understand your own style of play...….is it passive, aggressive, etc.?
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

"Live chess" means you are using a clock and you don't get mulligans like you do against "Level 1" through "Level 10" computers. You can get a rating and play for rating points. I play 15/10 games. That's 15 minutes each but every time you make a move it adds back 10 seconds. I'm really bad at 5 minute games. In 5 minute games I have to play the lower rated bots.

Of course I slept right through it because the p is silent. (04-03-2020, 05:06 PM)Mikey Wrote:Ha, love me some “dad” jokes.

I used to have a job at the recycling plant crushing cans. I had to quit because it was soda pressing. I’ve got one about a kanife. (Knife). But it’s inappropriate for the board. So I won’t tell it. Has anyone tried more cowbell for their cabin fever?

Thanks, but I've already had my movement for the day (shortly after my second coffee).

Friday nights suck on this board. But shouldn’t y’all be half lit and with nothing better to do? Got the video time family charades night happening or something? What gives? You better not be having a block party.

Not because I really care but because I’m trying to be good as a person. I’ve deleted many sentences in this reply in trying to use another country’s name. Even after a few drinks I delete it. That’s my cue. But I still find my not to be said joke funny. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Against all better judgement, I'm about to go down the DIY-youtube-rabbit-hole and do a brake job on my truck myself. Your well-wishes, thoughts, prayers, and ridicule are all welcomed during this difficult time.

I'll be sure to share my mistakes and eventual triumph. BTW - for anyone taking advantage of downtime with auto DIY - Advance Auto parts is offering a 25% off coupon code and free 4 day shipping on parts right now. (no in store pick up with offer) The code they gave me was: YAM3BX I saved almost 50 bucks on rotors, pads, bearings and such.

When changing out the chain and sprockets on my bike I discovered the previous owner had put red locktite on the front sprocket retaining nut, even though it has a keeper. With the bike on the center stand, my son stood straddled across the front wheel and held the handle bars to prevent the bike from moving forward while I used a half inch breaker bar with a 3 foot cheater pipe. My poor son was struggling to keep the bike pushed back while I grunted mightily upward. It sounded like a gunshot when it finally broke. Red locktite is good stuff. |
