What was this about?

That, was all about what happens when an abrasive, Paying advertiser is given mod rights.
A good post, takes time and effort.

"spend all me life raisin' children? Just to feed lions? Not me!"


Ya know, L.gurl is a mod/advertiser on another board, also. (Grnpassn) Same tactics there. I remember when the "civil-disobedience-for-lunch-bunch" would have rejected all this hype/marketing B.S. as "establishment." :hippy: Obviously, our willingness as a society to be fed propaganda has blossomed to match our reluctance to conduct any kind of experimentation with proper controls.

True dat!
And then there's the $$$$$$$$$$ factor.
These boards cost to run. So...

I almost got seduced by the carrot of a free light meself.
Though I tell myself it was curiosity.
Then I came to.
"No man should make himself a dog for want of a bone." Yah?

Nominated Sleepy for the test grow and will satisfy my curiosity by watching his results.

Guess I'm too lazy to corrupt.

Lemme study your sneaky little chess move and see what this may transpose into. Once the first few moves are over I just play it by ear, but I like to study the openings. It's like learning a new piece on an instrument that you already know how to play.

I was tempted to do B - QB4 on my last move just to feel how that plays out, but I just didn't like the "feel" of it. Looks like another cueball scratch.
Good instincts. There are better moves than that.

I gave up tempo for a pawn.
Hmmm what made that pawn worth taking?:jointsmile:
Look to your vulnerabilities.

You dismantled you king's side castle early-on, so I can start gearing up to dismantle your queen's side now.
Then, it's head to head in the center. Whee!
This is already a non-standard opening so, should be very interesting.:thumbsup:
