You are correct, but this uses Lichess ratings, which are a bit inflated, and probably a variety of time controls including blitz. At levels of play below super-grandmaster with full time control the accuracy of play can be rather low, and

They should just do what everyone else does and finance themselves by selling your data to the highest bidder! There are lots of advertisers who would pay a fair amount to know this much about your social graph and what you think of them.

When you find Kissinger deplorable you basically deplore his honesty. There are plenty of people with that level of power who have done as bad, or worse, but covered it up with silence or PR spin. Don't shoot the messenger.

Brunel was probably right that the work of the commission would be detrimental to the rate of innovation. But is that the only thing that matters? We would probably get a faster rate of innovation in personal transportation if we allowed an

People can have off days or struggle with certain tasks, but that doesn't mean they are intentionally harming the productivity of the team. In many cases they just need support, guidance or an opportunity to learn. It's highly lik

They're just tilting at windmills. It's already difficult enough to catch cheaters in chess, where there are, at most, a few dozen candidate moves in any position. This is a space with infinite candidate moves. Best case scenario

GothamChess's friend Eric Rosen is also very good. (Actually I think he may have won their latest match.) I really like his unshakable calm attitude - even when scrambling with 5s left on the clock he still finds time to make informati

I once played Taboo with a Taiwanese colleague. I still remember when he gave the clue "you get this if you're really lazy". The word was "beard". (BTW I had a beard at the time.)

English kings flirted on and off with Catholicism throughout the 1600s, up to the point where in 1685 the old king converted on his deathbed and his successor was an unapologetic Catholic. For Protestants during this time it was often diffi

The production cost was high since they wrote it directly in assembly and/or C and used very few external libraries. It was code golfing everyday and you couldn't afford many bugs since rolling out patches was a huge pain. So you

For some reason Western directors like to show bullet impacts e.g. shooting bottles, hats or just wood planks. This could be easier to do with real bullets. It's also possible they brought in guns from an unrelated activity (e.g. cowbo
