Anything wrong with e5? I see alot of possibilities from there as well as forcing a retreat. Or a swap where we would end up bishop for pawn trade I think. So I think there would be no choice but for him to retreat.

I don't see anything immediately wrong with e5 but it could eventually become a weakness like our pawn on a5.

I am not sure if black would retreat with Nd7 (attacking our e5 pawn right away) or play Nd5. If he plays Nd7 we may have to move our bishop back to f4 to protect e5.

Explain how he can win an exchange, I have him losing a bishop for a pawn up after we exchange knights. I don't see a better exchange for him.

it appears that the bitcoin.com forum has now a monero board too: https://forum.bitcoin.com/monero-f66/

just in case someone feels like moving some duplicate content over there  Wink

What? Is this post bait?

Don't think that site is worth the time it takes to register. Adding Monero is just a ploy to get traffic IMO.

That logic is flawed as PRIVACY in the US and by the constitution is a RIGHT. It isn't illegal. Just BS politicians wanting to be nosy so they can peak into your privacy and see what you are doing as they dont want people to challenge the status quo.

It's all about control, taking the tools away with which you would mount an challenge to the status quo is the objective. Remember your not a "Patriot" unless you give up your constitutional rights.

17. Be3

That's the reason we moved h3.

+1 for
17. Be3

For anyone that wants to join more than 1 chess game at once:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1190988.0

It is good to see more people playing chess. I just visited the thread but will not be participating in the game. I will plan to stop back from time to time to observe the technical discussions. Privacy is important to me.

Who has seen Pawn Sacrifice? Any reviews?

How about f4e3? Pin that pawn. I like that better.

Fit's in with my plans, I change my vote for this round to f4e3.

I was going to use the Queen to take that pawn, but the Bishop is good too.

Use your queen to take what pawn? We are discussing the pawn on c5 that would be pinned by the bishop after Be3. Have you decided to give up your Nxb5 sacrifice idea now in favor of sacrificing your Queen or Bishop for a pawn on c5?

What are you trying to accomplish? It seems like you want to give away our pieces on purpose

I take that back, f4e3 is bad. Still working on this. Guess we could cheat and use some programs and see what the ai's choices are. Tongue Lets ask Big Blue. Cheesy

Our opponent admitted he would probably lose if we did that. Instead lets just try our best on our own and see how well we can do.

I was making a joke, last thing I am is a cheater. Smiley

I'd rather lose with Honor. I edited my last post. I will not vote this turn and think we should be thinking about getting the rooks into play.

I knew you were joking:) My comment was directed to others who may wonder the same thing and have not read the entire thread.

I agree with you that getting our rooks active is important. The harder question is finding the best way to activate them. The c and d files still seem like the most likely place they will see action.
d2 then depending d1? At least we can get them out before we're under too much pressure? I have not played in over 15 years so don't let me sway anyone I'm just thinking out load here. And even then i wasn't any good. Cheesy

OK, I take back my votes but think we should try to get those rooks into play. I'll wait for the next move to vote. So I will do no vote this move as I don't want to hurt the effort.

othe's guide to investing in Monero:

1) Buy 10k XMR
2) Place two bets for 5k each at monerodice
3) Donate the proceeds from one win to development and "reinvest" the winnings from other bet into dice
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you somehow own more coins than actually exist
5) Huh
6) Profit!

ROFLMFAO!  Good one!

damn.. we have a lot of weakpoints now.
that even a child can exploit.
well i think the "GM" have the advantage in here.
since he can read all of our discusion in this game.
and even 1 person saw the best move but the others,
cant see the objective of it. it will be useless
since this is a majority votes where common moves
are following with common thinkers.
like if ones says i want to move e4. well others will just follow it.
even its not the best move.
i cannot see now the real purpose of this game for the "GM".
well ima out here. Goodluck guys.

I would say that if you have a move that is better than the consensus than you will have to explain why and get people to change their move to support your move. I am flexible and know that I cannot see far enough into this game to beat an expert let alone a GM.


Welcome to the game!
I personally voted for b3 but do see the point of h3. It may end up being the winning move based on recent voting trends

Thx, I think B3 does not apply pressure while H3 does limit his moves. Just my 2 cents, I'm probably wrong. Smiley




And I'd like to reiterate in this thread that letsplayagame should post what move he would have made so we can evaluate what we have done and learn.

Just for the sake of accuracy, Dash Masternodes are not a ponzi ...
Correct, Instamine/hardfork coin grab is the term I use.

... There should be something that's soaking up coins. Something besides speculation.

This is still the accumulation and development cycle, down the road (years) there can be no instamine accusations with this distribution model. Anyone can buy in right now and be on a level playing field. I expect another year before XMR is ready for prime time at current rate. And that is with ongoing non stop development that is happening as we speak. There is so much work going on under the hood right now that anyone not accumulating this emission as it's dumped will be crying like everyone that missed BTC.

Cheap xmr is my only truly happy circumstance right now.  Thank you for that.

It has been a brutal, humbling month:  Stopped out in eurnok, which in retrospect seems obvious (what was I thinking?) and could barely hang on to my wheat through the dip. Thankfully, spus are still tanking, so at least I broke even on net.  1860 can't happen soon enough for me.

Looking forward,  I am shorting xau\xag above 80, if the opprtunity arises, and gbpjpy is starting to look interesting again. Imagining what will happen if hkd floats, I am considering calendar spreads of increasing ratio... unlike eurchf (my lifetime best call, that), hkd potentially has the backing of prc reserves, so it's really a tail speculation, no more.  It has to pay it's own carry, certainly.


I've been trying not to get lost in online games since their inception but your post is really tempting me. Ever play King of Dragon Pass? It's set in the realm Glorantha (Runequest). I wasted alot of my life in the 80's on that. Smiley

I want to brag!

I think I just solved a major bitcointalk mystery:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1148538.msg12509091#msg12509091

There are several monero and boolberry people participating in that thread. I think its really cool

I speculate that people will pay attention to this chess thread. Chess players are smart and will understand the advantages of CryptoNote after they learn about it.

You should post what move you would have made after our move is decided on so we can learn.

... No one cares about fungibility. They care whether their money can be spent.

This is what we are trying to explain to you. Fungability assures no coin can be discerned from another and therefore cannot be blocked from being spent. I think maybe you are misinterpreting the meaning of fungability as it relates to currencies?

...
The main point is, can my money be used for services I want/need to use? If BTC-e wants to lose customers, they are free to do so. It'll be a long time before all or even most governments and companies come to an agreement on which coins to black or whitelist.

We agree that that is the main point, what your not seeing is that with a fungable asset no entity can choose to not accept some of an asset without accepting all of it. Maybe I'm not being clear here, I'll let others explain this concept from here on out.

I can't wait for the day people stop accepting fiat like they do with personal checks and only accept crypto. When this day comes then all work can be applied to an algorithm that can be used to fairly reward time and materials across the board. That day will see untold amounts being saved in both energy time and palpable materials.
