Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

Pretty hard to follow, though.

The pieces were giving me lotsa problems. A sneeze would flatten everybody.
Weighted the bases: lead bullet noses, cheap Kester solder (humpf), sinkers, etc. followed by leftover epoxy, bathtub caulk, hot glue, whatever...used stuff up. De-burred and trued up the bases, too. HUGE difference. Can audition moves without knocking over 6 innocent pieces. Has the luxurious feel of a hand-crafted set. :lol5:

For the first time in my life, those human chess games made a little sense. :tin foil hat:

B x B

And, after your P X B
Kn - QB3
Now we both have an isolated center pawn and no queen.
Look familiar yet?:D

Post #343-

You already had your knight there, I think.

Does that change how you want to play (other than still having it be your move?)

OK, if you say so.
I'm way too ripped to figure it out, so how about
B - K2

Is there some hidden porpoise to that move, or are you just trying to let me stay even? :D

You must answer truthfully!
I am a professional aquaponist!

Dat porpoise is da heffalump in da room.:D

As long as your rook "sees" Q8,
the Black King can not cross check to castle queen's side.
So, the bishop makes a crappy move just sheild that square.
She is protected by the king and will be protected by the rook after castling.

Akamai!

Aka-me

I see you pokin roun' da ventions album.
Whuddaya tink?

Relax.
Count backwards from 100.
You are getting very,





Wet!

I was checking out how ya got dem string-wicks.

My tomater's in the net pot, all wicked and everything. That fits inside a 3 gal. pot, barely. Think I'll settle for the transplant tonight and do the buquet tomorrow.

I think I wanna dilute my hard water with some distilled, gotta pick dat up.

In DWC, what pH and EC do 'maters like? I assume you just maintain your EC at 1200ppm or so?

What's "Aka-me?"

Black King can not cross check

You coulda castled to the other side, though. Is queenside stronger?

Of course, your 'ventions are great. Seen the albums already.:thumbsup:

Got one for you so you can keep track of watering / feeding. :)

Low PH 5.2 - 5.8
And 1200 might be a bit high for some strains.
and the tomatoes that I'm growing in coco are smooth, red, and the size of baseballs.
Just cut the first one for burgers tonight,
Heaven!
Et the rest like a peach!
Got some of the same strain in the ground, well, in the lava, and they are not doing near as well as the ones in 4" coco pots!

I seldom topped EC 800 with the cherry tomatoes.

I start at 120 out of the tap and amend with Calmag to 250, then 1 tsp of nutes brings it up to around 650 and the PH to 5.6.

I did let the PH get away from me at the end when the buquette almost ran dry.
Leaves got all gnarly n uglified PDQ.
Will try to locate the pictures if ya wannem.

Woof!
Just took 1 hit of my latest harvest.
I call it Cogito!
You would too.
We'll see if I can function much longer.
Hoodoggies!

W :stoned::stoned::stoned:

Well, I see that our kings are in opposite (diagonally) corners.

Dem pawns roun' de king...I'm keepin dem close.

Means I should try to promote on my queen's side.

I do all the work, waste all my tempo. :mad: Run into your pawns who are staying home to guard your king.


Need modified plan.

This calls for more bloodshed. :chainsaw:

A stoner corruption of akamai, (clever)
Modest lil zard dat I is, it was still a good move.

It is now! The Bishop's pawn is pivotal for defense of a king's side castle
That's why I traded black bishops. To displace that pawn.
A queen side castle will develop my rook to Q1 and swing the "balance of power" in the center a li'l mo' my way.
Also makes for a much more interesting, diagonally, game.:cool:

Of course, your 'ventions are great. Seen the albums already.:thumbsup:

Mahalo!:o

If it's in yer album, I'm onna way.

Play on MacDuff.

My last move was B - K2
so whutchoo
gonna doo?

My water starts out at 740.

I guess that's the same nute concentration.

Tha's why I wanted to dilute a little. Just playin' it safe, although the tomatos and peppers did fine last year in dirt pots, with hose water @ pH 7.6.

I'll peep a pic of overnuted tomato, though, if you have one. Wouldn't hurt to recognize it.

[attachment=o228782]

Tha's jes' a sucker I trimmed off a coupla weeks ago. Jes' a few flowers starting, no buddage yet. No visible trichs to the nekkid eye. :D:thumbsup:

Rolled up as jay for grins and it surprised my ass. The mature stuff's gonna be scary, although the zippiness of this young stuff is exhilarating.

Statements like that is why I can't live near schools....:rastasmoke:
