Any girls here play chess?

Haha. The guys are discussing sports on a thread about girls playing chess. Time for a beer commercial.

Discussing women on these terms is a terrible idea.  I think turning this into a sports thread is a splendid idea, or it will be if I can find someone to blab with about the Barca - Man City game today....

         Pay no attention to them. The're just girlly men, or childish men. After the beer commercial, they'll want something else, then something else.

Makes me think of a constant comment from the movie "Idiocrasy". People are constantly saying "I like money". Movie worth watching.

How about a movie called "Chess Idiocrasy." It's a nice film about when the USCF world champion's rating is 885.

I haven't heard of that before. What is the uscf world champion all about? What's with the 885 rating? Am I missing an inside joke maybe?

It's so sad what becomes the new status here, you gotta see the chat in reykjavik open review, people all the time say: Fiona you are so beautiful, I love you, people here become so desperate for girls and they are not even trying to hide it anymore! Find real girls WTF?!

The World Series title demonstrates misplaced confidence in the sport more than arrogant insularity, really.  It's not entirely the U.S.'s fault that they didn't realise how terribly boring baseball is.

Says the fan of futbol.

Yep, a sport where people actually move! :p

I'm not much of a sports person, playing or watching, but I find baseball or softball infinitely more interesting than soccer or american football.  I find even volleyball and tennis more enjoyable. Swimming I can actually do, but don't like to watch.

What's with the uscf world champion having an 885 rating?

theoreticalboy

Baseball is too enmeshed in its statistics for me, stats being a very American commentary affliction which has unfortunately seeped into our football.  But there is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vUhSYLRw14

It's definitely not as bad as something like luge: every run looks exactly the same to the extent there's nothing to do but watch the clock, where a one-second difference is humungous.  What's the point?

The metrics have been changed. cc just hasn't gotten around to implementing it yet, but don't be surprised if you wake up tomorrow with a 600 rating.

I don't follow stats, or even teams... but just watch games sometimes, usually high school or local teams.  I really don't like watching professional sports at all and can't quite grasp how people affiliate themselves and form a bond with a particular team who's very players' own loyalies go to the highest bidder. The same is true with college teams.  But to each his own.
