@JoshuaLWatson There is, at least, some kind of evidential asymmetry. Consider needle in a haystack. There is no logical problem though, obviously. We have logical proofs that various things don’t exist, through derivation of contradictions.

@chessfeels @ThankGod1903 I have seen some other similar posts though…

[Darrell Rowbottom @rowbott1]

@chessfeels @ThankGod1903 Oh I didn’t read it that way.

[Darrell Rowbottom @rowbott1]

@chessfeels @ThankGod1903 Just a different kind of puzzle. Still involves checking the lines.

@DmitryRybin1 Well you just take the largest possible triangle, which will be equilateral, no? Seems easy.

[Darrell Rowbottom @rowbott1]

@aishwaryad07 Not really. Lots of beginners - who don’t care much about the game - do just this.

[Darrell Rowbottom @rowbott1]

@ARIKAHENRY There are many papers like this. Check out, for example, the work of Mario Krenn.

@Running18834415 Some people need to learn etiquette the hard way.

@Running18834415 I hope you waited until 0.5 seconds remained before delivering the mate.

[Darrell Rowbottom @rowbott1]

@Running18834415 Did your opponent resign?

@akoustov I think we should administer oral exams on the references before review, too.

@BishopPair @NealBruceBC I must say, I love the balance in the Kalashnikov. It’s solid but also dynamic. I can’t imagine giving it up now I’ve found it.

[Darrell Rowbottom @rowbott1]

@BishopPair @NealBruceBC Kind words. Thanks! There are bad days, and then there are good days. At least I am occasionally capable of good chess. 😂

[Darrell Rowbottom @rowbott1]

@Ankiii_i Even when it’s mate in one?

[Darrell Rowbottom @rowbott1]

@pensandpoison Thanks for your permission. How absurd.

@realJamesIan @pensandpoison Narcissism? Insecurity? Does it matter?

Narcissism? Insecurity? Does it matter?

@Donna_H67 @pensandpoison She sounds pretentious because she is pretentious.
