Excellent.
Needed a landing strip for my cowardly Knight, dispatched by your pawn.

I don't understand (the benefit of) that move, unless it's all about a kingside castle.
Is there a different general philosophy, BTW, with the king vs. queenside castle? Obviously, you've got an extra piece to move out' the way. Seems like that results in a significantly different dynamic with the pieces that are evacuated.
Impetuous as I am , I shall move now, and reflect later (with 97% efficiency :D).
P - Q3 ;)
I am befuddled about this dwc res maintenance as well. I've surfed around a lot, and can't find anybody using chlorine, except to scrub things down before refilling with nute solution protected with H202.
Seems like bleach at the recommended concentration for sanitizing drinking water (~8 drops / gallon) would be much more economical, if a tad touchier to dial in. There's also the alkalinity to consider, but at this low a concentration... :wtf:
But it also seems like lotsa peeps like peroxide thinking it recombines directly into water and O2, but there's a free oxidizer running around for awhile, which is why it works. How's that different from sodium hypochlorite? :i feel stupid:
That is all it was about.Quote:

Well, it's also about getting pieces into play.
Black should do a Queen's side castle, but is still 2 moves away.
And Black's king side castle? Appears in dis-array.
He still can fix it. Jus' make betta moves, and pray.:D
Why I no want P @ Q3?
Would help you develop, you see.
Nope, instead, King will flee.
Fighting's not for royalty.
It's for peasants, and for pieces.

Sodium hypochlorite releases Chlorine ions, which are more reactive than Oxygen ions.Quote:

Turned out, they were not. Helpful, actually.
Thinking about it though, It is a Sodium salt and I'm guessing your water is already high in Sodium if not downright briny.
So, the "rootburn" may have been influenced by the high sodium. I think it's an osmotic pressure thing unless I misremembered dat.
You could ask Stinky Attic.
She popped back up on IC.:thumbsup:
News:
Did a postmortem on da DWCoco.
Lose the wicks!
Mine were eaten away with a black scum that took Half the roots with it.
The roots that were not in contact with the wicks were jus' peachy.
Plant was so big and healthy because of the coco reserve that the loss of half it's water roots hardly slowed it down.
Aloha,

Sorry, thought I posted a move.

That puts us here.
(Need a reference to try some things, always manage to mess the board up...)
Looks right.
OK, theory question.
You did a kingside castle.
Is there a "usual" response in terms of which side I want to castle to?
Don't know if that made sense....but...
If both sides are castled, is it usual that they are directly across the board from each other: both kingside or both queenside?
Or does each side castled "opposite" each other (Black castled kingside and White castled queenside, for example) make a better game and people choose to play it that way?
Not sure if there's even an answer to this question. Obviously, if there's an immediate or long term tactical advantage to one side over the other, that's easy. But if all things are otherwise kinda equal...?
In this case, the king's side castle was about linking the last 3 pieces that white has on the back rank which increases their influence.Quote:

It's still all about "positional advantage, this early in the game.
It's almost the end of the opening. (Where did the time go?)
That is, white is ready for mid-game play while black is still cramped and 2 moves behind.:(
How did that happen?
Black was harried into moving a knight twice instead of developing the bishop or queen.
That pawn capture also cost some time and cramped your center.
I don't know all the advantages of castling to one side or the other. It is a dynamic choice. Depends on many variables.
I can advise that castling too early is not wise strategy.
Keep the opponent guessing as long as possible lest he know where to concentrate his strength.
And actually most games are played out with neither side cloistering da king atall.
Some games, the king becomes a major player early on.
But, it's a risky business.
These game are instructional and I was/am demonstrating the odd rules whenever I can.
The en passant rule is also seldom invoked but not understanding it can cost one the game.
I will not "go for the throat," if a weaker move teaches more about the game.
As I said before.
The first games are not about conquest.
It's a zen kine thing.
Once you feel invincible, then we crush!;)
So, decided yet?

Kingside castle, then. :pimp:

Hey, topped up the nute solution for the tomater--added 3qt, with 12 drops of bleach. Let it sit out for 60-90 min to take the edge off a little, and no problems. Roots continue to grow, and are not even bleachy-white. More like a cream-color. The res / roots smell very fresh, not chemical. Sorta like radishes.
People seem to find using bleach like this horrifying for some reason. I wonder what they think they've been drinking?
You mean B and Q both covering my fiancetto-hole?
I guess you have to wait for me to catch up so we can get to mid-game.

No doubt!
These folks have never known the joy of "catchment water" or green swimming pools.
My Boy Scout training had us carry tincture of Iodine to disinfect standing water.
Now I'm wondering what cannabis would make of Iodine, or Bromine for that matter.
Crap!
Now I got more reading to do.
Toodles!
Off to bed I must trundle.
Mrs. 'zard is takin' her colon bowlin' tomorrow :asskick: and I get to drive, and point, and laugh.
No worry. they usually give Versed with Valium.
It's a better amnesiac then Jaegermeister.
Up hers, ;)
Weeze.
Hooray!Quote:

I was about to recount to some of my newly acquired skeptics the use of "water disinfectant tablets" that usta come with the little camping mess kits. Little tiny, soft white pills IF I am remembering them correctly. I remember hunting up some skanky pond water to test them out before my parental units (likewise not amused--recalling your magnetization experiment) interrupted my research. :(
What the heck were those things? That's another possibility for res maintenance.
This bleach is doing the trick. I'm just not sure how slowly it degrades in a dark bubblebucket. Chlorine added to a swimming pool will "cool off" within ~72 hours if there's sufficient sun, heat, and wind. Takes twice that long without.
5 drops per gallon wouldn't bring a growing funk problem under control.
10 drops per gallon worked, but was too strong for the plant.
(I'm probably going to have to do this in metric or these barleycorn measurements are gonna drive me nuts.)
Adding 12 drops (total) this top-up caused no problem.
That's all I know so far, but I'm zeroing in on it.
Funny you should mention. Arthritis flared up and my foot looks like Fred Flintstone. Very painful, although a harmless part of the recovery process. Can't walk right, though. Can't sleep either, and it's been hard to concentrate for 2 days now.Quote:
Time to check da BP, brah.
No go stupid on me now.
I can't find a pawn that can move to Q4. QB4 maybe? Or I screwed up the board again. All is well, otherwise. Fun playing with the buckets.
Best to the wife. :thumbsup:
Looks like I betta go check my blood pressure too.
Meant to say Q - Q4!
<Sigh>
A sure sign of Bake-off-itis.:stoned:

I have your queen at K2.
Unless she can move like a knight, Q4's "difficult" as well...:postreadrulez:

Okay...my last move took us to here:
[attachment=o229512]
Q - R7 just loses your queen. The king can capture ....
Oh, shit.
Can you believe I got this far and still didn't notice the redundant bishop?
Grrrr.
P - K4 :thumbsup:
Kinda hard to see that pivotal bishop in your diagram.:D
She was not the key though. More of a supporting player.
The beginning of that combination was the center pawn advance.
This game will be even more fun.
'cause it is said;
"If you wish an interesting game, play P -K4.
If you wish to win, P - Q4"
So, P - K4 is my reply.
Took me a while.
:S5:(I'm a little high)
I'll play mo' betta dis game.
(At least, I'll try).

Funny. Didn't notice I'd omitted that piece in the diagram, either. Musta growed a mental blind spot for it, by gum. Woulda been a Freudian slip, if there were anything Freudian about it. :detective1:
