Chess.com sucks… wayyyyyyyyy too many cheaters on there. You can tell when they come online each day, mostly from the Philippines.

You don’t even get your points back when they get flagged and deleted.

I apologize to all, with whom I’ve been playing for the apparent inconsistency of successive blunders.

Please have patience, with time

Have thing about bishops, don’t exactly know what’s up with that?

..that why you keep taking mine?

You obviously got a thing about rooks as well, because you keep taking those as wells.. :hushed_face:

Perhaps, but most likely, metaphorically as well, as a reform of religious conflict, maybe.

…about the rooks, it may be, and it’s a stretch, it may be an defensive effort to frame the. Contentious conflated content of proto-religious and asexual myths into a reverse transcendence, I.e. a ‘regressive’ transvaluation masking an irony.

The twist is, that such on a metaphysical basis, may and does turn the historically evident ‘truths’

If the etiology of tools, which really predominated in the accident through the Middle Ages, does later demolish the contentious decline of security against the Ottomans, hinging against the Inception of The Great Wall of China,

I’ll look that up and report on its validity. If it is of no measurable consequence, I will erase it without further ado,

Can this be of significant consequence ? I hazard to think in the affirmative:

The Great Wall of China was primarily built to protect against the Xiongnu, a nomadic group from the Eurasian Steppe. Construction began in the 7th century BC and was officially unified by the **First Emperor of Qin (Qin Shi Huang)**in 221 BC to defend against these northern

Though the connection is tenuous:

Not the same Mongols

The Xiongnu were not the same Mongols who later were led by Attila the Hun, but there is a connection between them. The Xiongnu were fierce mounted warrior

The relevance of the rook for ancient chinese chess

The rook’s relevance in ancient Chinese chess is rooted in its historical origins as a chariot. In the game of Chaturanga, the rook represented a chariot, symbolizing power, speed, and military prowess. The rook’s design and symbolism have evolved over time, reflecting changes in culture, warfare, and technology. The rook’s ability to move vertically and horizontally gives it tremendous offensive capabilities, reflecting its symbolic association with aggression and conquest. Its placement at the corners of the board embodies the concept of safeguarding and defense, reflecting the protective nature of a fortress. The rook’s rich symbolism extends beyond its physical form and strategic function, resonating with cultural, historical, and philosophical dimensions.

Arguing from a place of awareness.

You admit I’m right about his 3 marriages. That’s breaking of vows, unfaithful.

You’re openly flirting with a married man who has kids and grandkids. You’re flirting with a married man who calls you his lady and his mistress.

Here are Groucho Marx quotes

The guy is an unprincipled, unfunny little bald midget.

He jokes about not having principles.

He jokes about “pretending to be fair”.

He jokes about having women besides wives. It’s funny to him

And you. You support that unprincipled, mindless nonsense. You’re a ho. An unprincipled silly loser. That’s why your hero is Groucho Marx and your boyfriend is an old married lunatic.

Nah.. I got bored replying to the ¿guy’s? DMs so stopped all correspondence, and now all this.. ranting, raving, trolling, seething, but certainly not coping. :laughing: I felt that the person was slyly attempting to glean information from me, about myself, to use against me.. was I wrong? No!

They’ve reached their peak trolling capabilities, hence the now circulatory they only have to offer.

Well he’s gone for a month now, you guys can get back to board games if you want.

Unless that is the board game… Monopoly, but instead of getting properties and rail roads, you guys just insult each other until someone has a monopoly on hurt feelings. That might be fun.

.
The only person who’s been doing any insulting around here is JulyThirty.. hurt feelings, or reporting a nasty little troll?

As a moderator, you should solely be going with the latter!

I should be reporting trolls? To who?

.
:woman_facepalming: omg!

I’m saying that this wasn’t about my feelings being hurt but about me being trolled by a vile person, hence my flagging those posts.
.

As a moderator, you should solely be going with [a person doing so for] the latter [reason]

I really don’t know what that means. Nobody is asking you to justify why you reported him. You reported him, he got banned, you’re not being blamed or criticised.

Why would I go with someone? Like… date them? What are you talking about? You’re writing very confusing sentences.
