Banter RDT 172 - Switching to wrestling chat. Not really Full Stop

[Godfather32]

If you haven't memorised the boards of all World Chess Championship games since 1951 or have Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual as bedside reading, do you even chess? Get good, scrub.

Pfft, have you even watched The Queens Gambit?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Isn't most top-level chess these days about memorising a bunch of potential move sets worked out by a supercomputer?

 

[Forward Press]

Pfft, have you even watched The Queens Gambit?

Watching The Queen's Gambit and saying you follow chess is like watching Drive to Survive on Netflix and saying you follow F1.

You may think you're cool but the long-time fans will judge you and ignore your ramblings.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I've read Chess by Stefan Zweig, what does that get me?

Well I also used to play the computer on easy mode at Battle Chess when I was a kid so....

How the **** does anyone who has ANY link to chess think they're cool?

Jenga, now that's a real game.

My mum says I'm cool.

Only Chess that matters is Campbell Chesser

When I was 5 I beat my (9 y.o.) sister in so many games of Uno in a row she threw the cards at my head.

Briscola: It's chess for people who have done a sit-up before.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Did your family have a house rule that permitted the stacking of Draw cards?

And if not, why not?

 

[Quinz]

I was under 14s chess champion at my school. I'm sure that surprises no one

 

[Truckosaurus]

Did your family have a house rule that permitted the stacking of Draw cards?

And if not, why not?

We did and the incident in question may or may not have been prompted by a run of Draw cards topped off with a Draw 4 and a change to the colour of my remaining card.

At least you aren't related to Gambit

No mention of chess boxing yet??

EDIT:

Oh wait, Ochre mentioned he plays it already in the junior ranks.

Your youtube history must be interesting .

This is how the robot uprising begins

Robot needs to move 5-10 gram game pieces.

Russian robot engineer - several tonnes of hydraulic force sounds about the right way to spec this thing out.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Have they considered renaming it Bot Morrison?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Keep your robot uprising, nothing will ever surpass the original.

Wonder no more. Toadie from Neighbours has firm career plans.

[Miguel Sanchez]

Also mentions in that article he recently sold a $6m property down on the peninsula.

Being Erinsborough’s resident bogan do-it-all lawyer has certainly been lucrative for him.

Yeah, sounds like he'll be fine.

‘Off-the-scale’: Shapes reveals FOUR new wild flavours

Arnott’s says it has taken a sledgehammer to the flavour and crunch scales for a new range of Shapes it promises will send your tastebuds into a frenzy.

So reading this, hidden way down the bottom, was:

Last year Arnott’s settled a divisive debate about its best Shapes flavour - with chicken crimpy coming in first, pizza second and barbecue third.

Now don't get me wrong, I like chicken crimpy, but who in their right mind picks it over pizza or barbecue?

Splitting of the vote? The majority of people probably pick pizza and/or BBQ but they can only pick one.

Barbecue is good.
Pizza is very good.
