    Alrighty, got the book. If you have any lines where you're curious about the author's recommendations, shoot! As said, it doesn't have anything on the Ruy, but everything else after 1.e4 e5 that's not entirely stupid should be present. The bulk of the Book is the Two Knights Defence vs the...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    Hey I made a post about this forever ago but nobody ever cared: http://skullheart.com/index.php?threads/skullgirls-encore-edition-tiers-and-matchups-discussion-thread-the-revengeance.257/page-41#post-144880 Might be useful if you now plan to actually do this now, or maybe not, who knows

    Just forget this is the Berlin, look at the position and tell me if you expect a dull draw to happen within a few moves: Yeah, the Queens are off the board, but beyond that Black's King is stuck in the center & his pawn majority is crippled (while White's isn't), so he has to make do with his...

    Well, Berlin against Ruy IS pretty good. In all of: Tested in Grandmaster practice, sidelines that are straightforward to deal with (either it'll just be a more comfortable "classic" Ruy, or a very tame middlegame after 5.Re1), and -at our level- playable for a win with Black, light on theory +...

    Skull Stats: IQ vs. character preference [Survey]

    Disable your NoScript or w/e and you'll see a bunch of questions and that thing is nowhere on the screen As you see, this Button says "Let me know when a new one comes out"; it's for if you want updates on the "IQ"-Tests, not for taking it (nor for getting a result)

    Skull Stats: IQ vs. character preference [Survey]

    You don't need to give anyone on that page your EMail I'm not much of a fan of IQ tests due to their list of flaws, but putting it together with MBTItype bullshit sure isn't necessary. Yes, people still use IQ - it is useful for many things, despite its shortcomings.

    Chess

    An experiment whether it's possible to hit 0? Further Opening Squabbles (this is harder than finding an FG main!): Playing 1.e4 and having fun with it kind of makes me feel like I should at least dabble with 1. ..e5 The Sicilian is a load of interesting positions, but feels awful in Blitz...

    Skull Stats: IQ vs. character preference [Survey]

    Finding out a correlation between IQ and X without knowing the IQ of your participants is going to be quite difficult (and no, the linked webpage has nothing to do with actual IQ tests)

    Skullheart Personalities

    Of course it seems accurate, it asks you "Are you introverted?" and then later the result tells you "You are introverted!". Mix that with a bunch of general type descriptions that apply to everyone to some extend, and clarify that everyone always has parts of both, and you got a pseudoscientific...

    Chess

    Ye, Naka first was to be expected as well. Kasparov/So was the only tossup for me, I figured they'd end up close together but gave the edge to Kasparov -- 50/50s, heh. E: So's masterpiece against Kasparov certainly warrants replaying.. what a game. Or, to say it in his own words:

    I'm surprised people are surprised at Caruana's result. Have they watched him Blitz ever?
