Ok, go. You are doing much, much better- fast learner, my moves are less often now , apologize for that,

.

Why aren’t you playing chess with your wife, loser?

What was this about, creep?

You are wasting her time. She could be doing better things.

“What was this about, creep?”

It is unfair and ungentlemanly to ask Meno this question for not even he knows the answer to it. Posting for Meno is like a state of autopilot where subconscious longings to be a philosopher are satisfied by a kind of copy-philosopher role play in which he performs a memesis of some philosopher he read in college or something. In the same way childrens play dress-up swords and sorcerers, Meno plays philosopher. This condition is greatly exacerbated by alchohol and lonely late-night Shining like walks down dark patterned carpets to the Vegas lobby for buckets of ice.

Just like it’s said , chess games are like philosophy, are no mere children’s play, , meant for a mere amusement, although it can be amusing at times.

You did not answer the question old man.

What was the creepy inquiry about? Why are you, a married man, calling another your “mistress” and playing games with them?

You are married. With kids and grandkids. Spend time with your wife and family.

You are like the little boy with his own ice cream bowl, leaning over and dipping his spoon into other people’s ice cream bowls.

Grow up. Appreciate what you have.

What is there to show after a chess match?

What has one produced with a chess match? Not much.

You play a game trying to topple each other.

At least when she was illustrating, photographing, reading, writing, she was doing something. She had something to show for it. Art. Literature. Truly applicable knowledge beyond confines of some silly game.

Spending time with you she doesn’t have shit to show.

How do you come to all these conclusions I wonder, or do I know you as well as you appear to know (of) me?

.

..my game has definitely improved in recent weeks, from.. solving more puzzles and doing lessons, which seems to have exponentially expanded my thinking.

Nah, the new pace is fine.. :ok_hand:t3:

Your lack of response to any of the questions speaks volumes.

Why are you on the internet when you have a full-fledged family? Why are you flirting with other women? Are you a drunk? Are you still a drug addict?

How so? Let’s see some examples.

You have nothing to show except screenshots of matches.

You should be teaching me how to play chess and playing me, not a married man.

You should DM me and explain to me how to set all of that up. Instead of entertaining a married man with grandkids. I would be closer to your game level, anyway.

Teach me how to play chess and play me instead. We can develop together.

I remember eons ago we got along famously, I believe you even commented positively that I had terrific sense of humor. Somehow things are turning South, and if I really got to know me, and Vic versa, I would have recommended for you to find a good woman.in which case you might have not felt the neccisity to go into philosophy .

.

Kind of difficult to do when all the incoherent, greedy drunks are talking to all the women and wasting their time.

Hence the advice your stupid ass won’t take. Get off the internet and spend time with your woman.

@meno41, I was surprised by part of the analysis from our most recent game:


After 14. b4, the computer suggests Nxc3. I’d rejected that because the pawn is defended by the queen, but if white captures, the followup is:
14. … Nxc3
15. Qxc3 Nxd4
16. Qxd4 (!)

At this point, the computer thinks your best bet it so trade a knight for a queen. If you try to save the queen, black can regain material by capturing the bishop, and in the process prevent white from castling. And the computer says a queen for two minor pieces is a better outcome than equal material with the king stuck in the center.

It makes sense on reflection because in addition to leaving the king exposed, it neutralized the rook on h1, but I was very far from finding that move during the game.

No! She should be playing me!

:rofl:

I lost track, sorry, Carleas, I was/am played up for a while, that’s why, although I did want to comment on our play, I delayed,

The computer analysis, yes, I usually do that as well, and this time I didn’t. We had a discussion on simulation, on artificial intelligence a while ago , but then I feel I had not sufficiently brought forth the stage of development in my mind, at least, to show the indeterminacy of the precise point at which the simulation and the prior deification of structural patterns can be absolutely set.

Not trying to be funny or clever here, only to show how to evaluate some ide that is between a purely objective and subjective point of view.

It’s funny though, how inconsistent scoring is pertaining to the games here, vis. Actual performance. For instance, you appear to rate at around the 1500 level, whereas I do at around 1200. Funny thing is, while loosing to you the third time, I managed a win against a guy who is also in the 1500 range.(I will transpose that to here, shortly)

Nevertheless, with my third loss to you, you may want to play some other player who has shown to perform in the 1500 with more consistency.

But if you have the time to play another game, I’m all for it., Artemis could join in, if he so pleases.

I was going to start complaining of the intricacies of the game of chess, and stopped myself, as trying to comment on the Kirk tragedy, as a kind of corollary to what’s going on with the Trump stage of being some kind of historical unavoidability, as if appearing to have some kind of differential gear between those two types of games, bid. that existing between the art of logic and the art of politics.

But could find no such thing, rather a historic difference measured by generations, may, millennia of trying such.

That an assumed neutral mask, disengaged from both a common middle eastern show of treacherous vengeance is artfully concealed, yet becoming an overt factor that shows it’s true face, in times when ripping it off threatens the show of
a proper equiminity and peace..

This is not the case, and the , case, as can be seen from Kirby’s assasination, as an indication of how games differ through the course of life.
