WAR ROOM LOUNGE V22: Cult 45

[dontsnitch]

I dabbled with the london after watching the ginger gm's videos about it. I would always get into really good positions but as an attacker, I'm more of a swashbuckler than a procedural kinda guy. I would always find a way to fuck it up. I had much better results with the Scotch, specifically with Ivanchuk's idea of castling queen side and launching an all out assault on the king side.

Never cared for d4 personally, was obsessed with ru y Lopez cause it's what my dad taught me first. I'd have to look up the rest, I'm out of touch.

I feel like @waiguoren could smarm up this chess conversation

The scotch is pretty fun to learn as there's lots of awesome games to study. Morphy used it a lot, so you can see how black can get picked apart very quickly if he's not careful. But there are more modern ideas so you can continue to use it as you get better. Ivanchuk, Carlsen, Topalov and Kasparov have all won some awesome games with it.

Much hespect for anyone who plays defenses that are susceptible to those h pawns storming your King, for real. I'm really bad at dealing with that.

H pawns need to be nerfed, followed by 1. f4

Anyone play GO? Bit of a mind melt when you first try to wrap your mid around strategy

Little bit. Some folks at law school played it. None of us were particularly good.

Filthy casuals.

Yes and I'll be the first to say

I'm not!

Certainly not. I, for example, am an anxiety riddled PhD student unsure of his path in life. Currently I specialize in escape fantasies whereby I give it all up to join the french foreign legion or go to pilot school or establish the cutest bakery in Maine!

Zankou, panamaican, Lord Coke, Trotsky, me, bkmmafan, theworm, darkballs, minicraque, amerikuracana, and JamesRussler have all claimed to have some sort of legal background.

That's probably a little disproportionate.

It's all about style and contrast (with the background colors) within the context of the film. Most times you gotta let shit go in cinema. If I were gonna sweat that shit I'd go outta my mind with all the bogus firearms portrayals.

Wow. That hit close to home. Haha

Jei and myself are as well

I leaned too far back in a chair once and the legs collapsed, causing me to wang the back of my head on the wall.
I remember being dizzy, puking, and then nothing until waking up 2 days later. I was apparently awake and running around during this time and convinced my boss that I had a ride coming to pick me up. Checked my phone later and saw I had dialed a gibberish number, which i'm assuming I talked to as if there was someone on the line. After a second thought, she sent a co-worker to make sure I was alright and he apparently found me wandering through a parking lot talking to myself.

so.... a normal tuesday then.....

"In South Africa and every part of the world today, social justice doesn’t fight racism, it fosters it. It doesn’t defend rights, it destroys it. It conflates disparities with discrimination. It suggests people are guilty before proven innocent. It believes in the rule of leftism, not the rule of law. It believes in feelings, not facts. It believes in microaggressions, not maturity. Social justice is about perceived injustice, not proved injustice. It is an unending, unhelpful, unsatisfying thirst to fill broken cisterns. It doesn’t affirm human rights. It doesn’t advance the gospel. It isn’t the gospel. It worships the critical theory, not Christ."

Better get the entire left wing blogosphere opining that this was a false flag by the Koch brothers.
