I'm not sure this is newsworthy. Maybe you could repost your question in the General Chess Discussion forum?

Oh Thank-you for pointing that out.  I had not noticed about that.  Thank-you very much. :)

I guess you can say they were just better in that game. Though sometimes it takes only one game for me to realize I'm playing a much stronger chess player than myself.

Perhaps it just means some of your pieces defected.

I just had a bowl of red hot chili.

I usually crockpot my own, so it comes out quite well almost always.

Sometimes I open a can, though. When I do it's typically a can of Stagg chili. IMO, no other brand I've tried over the decades can compete with Stagg. Nalley's is crap, Hormel doesn't have much going on, and Dennison's looks like it ought to taste good but somehow never delivers much flavor.

Stagg Habanero Hot is my first choice but sometimes I get another variety and add my own habanero sauce.

It's about how the pawns have gender issues... all wanting to become queens...

 I've never heard of Stagg, and don't like any of that other canned junk so I make my own in a crockpot as well. I don't know how they sell some of that crap.

Stagg has a few varieties. The Habanero Hot you should try. Two kinds of beans, decent quality meat, and chunks of tomatoes.

More fat than I prefer but it can be taken out to a degree before cooking (solidified orange stuff) or skimmed afterwards.

Not a big deal as I often add extra sharp cheddar, and that's just tasty fat in itself.

Chess is all about getting your king to the other side, man

People still use crockpots?  It's all about the dutch oven yo.

Sounds worth a whirl even if this is slightly off topic.

You mean our brilliant chili methods, I think.

Topic needed a little spice.

The Hokey Pokey

You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in,
And you shake it all about,

You do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself around
That what it's all about.

2) left hand
3) right foot
4) left foot
5) head
6) butt
7) whole self

Right.  Okay let's get this back to an actual topic please.  Laughing
