Before voting, consider the below evidence:

This TV show will present evidence that the racial intelligence totem pole goes Asian > White > Black > Australian Aborigine. (Hey, there’s no shame in being second!)

On the other hand, GM’s like Bobby Fischer (“Women are weakies”) and Levon Aronjan (“Women cannot play chess”) make it clear chess is a man’s game.

(My observations in the comments section.)

For what?

The worst part is that nominations have to be submitted by February 1, meaning Obama was in office about 12 days. He didn’t have time to do anything yet. What was the nominator thinking?

So here was the “Hard” difficulty level of today’s shredderchess.com puzzle:

Great, so Black has exactly one legal move.

The “hard” part must have been the follow-up (White plays Bf6+) where you have the choice between two legal moves, one of them leading to being immediately checkmated.

So there’s this guy on chess.com, ChessTrainor, who’s “defending” the Sodium Attack (1. Na3) and perhaps even trying to name the opening named after himself (?). His support consists mostly of G/10 games against weaker competition.

Anyway, ChessTrainor responded to one of his detractors with the following:

your young and have no sense,Fischer is nothing compared to the Lord Jesus Christ.And yet in a passage of scriptures The Lord said,Greater things will he do,this is refering to someone else.And the reason for that is Jesus only live 33 years old so short a life so if some will live after him whose age is triple than him he is greater 3 x 33is 99years old in terms of life span many has surpass Jesus earthly life,So those are greater than him.Fischer only have 4 but mastered it so thats great and yet a have more than four openings if there such a word more greater or greater greater,i suppose.only in terms of numbers.I hope you understand simp,e english.CT

This is completely awesome. It’s a shame this is too long to put in the quotation rotation. In honor of ChessTrainor, I’ll go around the chess blogosphere, create an artificial argument if necessary, and randomly compare Bobby Fischer to Jesus Christ.

What a disaster.

So Monday night, I came back from a business trip only to find that I lost my keys. Maybe I’ll tell the whole story later, but in short, I saw Sworn Enemy much more than usual (who was very helpful!), got more than I bargained for walking to a bus stop, and realized how nice it is living within walking distance of Houston’s light rail system. And now I’m sick.

Make sure to have spare keys! It was a lifesaver for me.

I see that letting the eggs take care of the blog was a disaster.

Mr. E (C+): He wasn’t supposed to say that the Monday Fighter! wasn’t funny, but learning that his wife enjoys getting spanked was an unexpected bonus.

Egg Fu Yung (D-): He did no work. But he did have a comment countering the Mascot’s inanity.

Mascot (F-): He denigrated Jerry Hanken’s memory, insulted Dino Mom, and threatened to beat me up. Here’s the rule about making fun of dead people one day after they die: the joke has to be funny.

Sorry that Donnie a’int back yet…he’s been delayed one day on his business trip. So you get me, Mr. E, to do this week’s Monday Fighter!. We got lucky ’cause we get a double-dose this week.

Here, we see one-hit wonder group Aha opened up an underwear store.

I don’t see what’s so funny about it. Mr. E has a sayin’: “Don’t be a fool, underwear is cool!” And if you save money on underwear, you can pay off your credit card bills.

Reader Allen sent this link with a bunch of old-school ads. They had some strange stuff, like a husband spanking his wife. Actually, maybe that one wasn’t too strange, ’cause Mrs. E likes…well, I shouldn’t talk too much about that. You kids can learn about that when you get older.

Classic over-the-top ads from yesteryear

Dino Mom is trying to win something called the Mobbies. So if you want her to win, click on that button below. But if you’re like me and think she’s a boring narcissist, you should vote for someone else.

This death was completely preventable if Hanken had just invested $28.30 on a pair of Alex Chiu’s immortality rings.

Just kidding. We don’t have any sex advice. But this will probably get a lot of pageviews! And pageviews are good for boosting ad revenue (I’m trying to convince Donnie to let me try to post ads to make some money.)
