play u1800 and focus on consistency. If you're losing to lower rated players, it's because you're making errors that will make some (not all maybe not even most) of your games against 1800+s one sided in their favor. Stop making those errors and you get better games when you play up too.

Oh man I have one of those which... I should have brought into consideration before buying a touch screen laptop

You live in Durham North Carolina it would be like trying to explain water to an fish

It took me almost a minute to catch it and when I sent it to my friend who is around 1800 it took him even longer!

let's just all ask ourselves very seriously where we think *this* is going and whether or not we'd like to go there

Republicans cheer for ‘mass deportation’ – a dark new chapter in America’s history of othering ‘them’
The convention celebrated Trump’s vision of immigration as a disease. The GOP idea of a cure would mean I, and millions of others, would not exist

By insisting the original argument is entirely unfounded and the source of the racism, they're denying the possibility that racism in the original writing and in the tradition of originalism is inherently absurd.

But you don't hear even the more liberal law professors saying that. Because then anybody who espouses originalism isn't just a colleague with differing views. They're a moron upholding discredited theories with inhumane consequences.

More generally, I don't love ... Ng4 because black has already traded one set of minor pieces so shouldn't feel so cramped as to force a second set off with ... Nge5, especially when that accelerates f2-f4 expansion that white dreams of but might not be able to pull off

Yeah ... a6 looks like it is fine and probably the most ambitious, but I would probably play 10 ... Ne8 and go to c7. Didn't love the decision to xb5 but feels consistent to needle the b5 pawn and force white to find creative resources like Ra3 to play for an edge

I don't remember to check this thing more than once a month but yes absolutely. Stunning haunting tragic gorgeous.
