Nigel Short: Women's brains not chess brains
Sort:
It was a joke about the causal chain of free will to alleviate the pain. Not too bad. No lost teeth, but swollen gums, a split lip and a hole in the inside of my lip. It just hurts to eat or drink. Should be alright soon.

Okay, I think I have it translated: You were hit in the mouth by a sword hanging from a belt which was probably the end result of an event which happened over 500 million years ago? I had to look up some things to understand it
if we put extra effort and a little more spam maybe we can reach 100 pages and the 2000th post.

It seemed very tradtional, and I wasn't told there was more than one. I was told that when he was younger, Morehi Ushiba incorporated strikes into his practice, but we never did.
Apparently, this thread has over 2040 comments already. It seems around 70 of them were removed.
jokes are not a good idea, this is a serious site about a serious game.
I'm pretty sure Ramona will win the 2^11 prize.
You can have it.
Oh hahahaha. Good morning Ramnoa. Sleep well?

New, improved Polgar?
God dammit beating a GM at age of 6 and less than a year of playing... That's amazing!
Another Norwegian? What are the odds of that happening?
That's amazing and promising if its true she's stronger than Carlsen was at 6 years old. If it's true, she's without a doubt going to be the next female world champion, perhaps even all round world champion.
I'll give you five to one.
Lykke-Merlot has got a queen against 4 pawns in the end so Agdestein resigns. Lykke-Merlot didn't even seem to realize she had won untill about 5-10 seconds after the handshake!! óÔÔò ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔ óÔÔò

Well, both Judit Polgar and Hou Yifan were stronger than Magnus Carlsen until the age of 15, remember? We need Lykke-Merlot to play more games to see how she develops, especially after she turns 13. But I'm sure she'll oblige.

We use atemi (strikes) to off balance / soften opponents. Some styles use feignts, etc. The bokken incident was from some kenjitsu exercises we were doing in iaido class. Striking opponent in the throat with the pommel. Obviously, you aren't supposed to actually make contact. :) See if I had started playing chess at 5, a different causual chain would have taken place. However, because of the current causal web, a new female chess phenom has been borm. You're welcome. :D
Carlsen only started to play chess seriously when he was 8. He only knew how pieces move at the age of 6.

Lykke-Merlot hasn't even started to take chess seriously and could still win a grandmaster

Er... So then what was the point of making a big deal out of Lykke-Merlot being better than Carlsen was at her age? It only means that she started earlier, and it can in no way be used to predict her future success.

I think nobody made a big deal out of it. But beating a GM at the age of 6 is still impressive and promising.
