@ginger_gm From what I remember in "ye olde days", White was happy to trade dark squared bishops, so a3 seems unnecessary at best...(Or is that only true in the stonewall?)

@kmcnam1 Stop trying to make "fetch" - I mean .webp - happen!

@rbnmckenna86 I went to a talk by Wedgewood and it came out that he doesn't think there are non-occurrent mental states just dispositions to say certain things. I really had to restrain myself in the question time.

@kidkerrigan Meanwhile, on Twitch, I have seen the same ONE ad for Spoderman: Bland New Day FIFTY MILLION times now. I was planning on seeing it, but the ad is slowly changing my mind.

@TakeTakeTakeApp @DavidHowellGM One exclam at the absolute most. I'd be disappointed to miss this in a blitz game. Still cute tho.

@TakeTakeTakeApp @DavidHowellGM If you've been on Lichess, about 5% of people would resign in this position...

@davidllada With the benefit of hindsight, a watershed moment.

@MerriamWebster 'zoology', at least if you're taking it to be pronounced "zoo-ology" (which is how many people pronounce it).

@sami001Haq @jhendersonYT I am not any kind of expert, but if you're a normie like me, the penguin translations should be fine. They are still serious works of scholarship but are designed to be accessible to the lay reader. If you're more interested in serious scholarship, you'd need to ask an expert.

@PAHoyeck Not super important, but I want to pop up and say that crepes are SO much better than pancakes. Easy to make, too.

@MattLutzPhi Funnily enough I got around to reading Soames' criticism of Davidson's semantic programme recently, and there's a standard (excellent) response he is apparently unaware of. Suffice to say I was not convinced.

[Anarchil @Anarchil1]

@davidllada Very easy one. I couldn't do the year though. I like it that you picked /this/ position, though. This is the absolute star move by Black. The queen sacrifice (and subsequent play) is actually pretty routine.

[Anarchil @Anarchil1]

I just came across this very cute miniature today: https://t.co/qSVe4gc3Dm
White thinks Black has missed a small combination and thereby lost the game, but in fact it is White who has been fooled. The final position is hard to believe!

[Anarchil @Anarchil1]

@dgriffinchess At this point, he should lean into it ala Jack Sparrow: "You're the worst world champion I've ever heard of!" "Ah, but you /have/ heard of me!"

[Anarchil @Anarchil1]

@davidllada Easy one, although I can't remember White's name, the year or the venue.

@PAHoyeck If only there were someone presently slumbering, yet who once awakened could provide answers. If only.

@PAHoyeck I like it how this book looks like it's in the witness protection program!

[Anarchil @Anarchil1]

@TeaWithMandyxo Only if the stream's rated arrrrr.
