how to find my dog ?

crimson kraken
#

but the book also mentioned that I can mess with the function to make the logical fallacy disappear

honest trout
#

It's ok to be u

crimson kraken
#

of course you can't divide by zero

#

but if you raise the function to the negative power of one, you basically get 1/x(x/1)^(-1)

#

and a law of sines involving powers is b sin (a) = sin (a^b)

#

so I basically turn (x) sin (1/x) = (x) sin (x ^ (-1)) = (-1)(x) sin (x) which is now immune to "not divisible by 0"

honest trout
#

You work that minus out

crimson kraken
#

-0 * 1 is 0, so lim x→0 = 0

#

yes, I worked it out as -1

#

the book confirms the answer is 0, but like, is that legal/valid to do

#

maybe it doesn't work in all cases

#

Getting back into Chess after 1.5 years, what should I do?

I started playing Chess in Janurary of 2021, and I was addicted. I would be playing 40 online chess games a day, didn't get any exercise, ate unhealthy, etc. But I did become really good, reaching around 1700-1800 elo on Chess.com back then, and I would say with some fine tuning I could have become really advanced. I stopped grinding in around August 2021, and I have barely played online chess since. I did become much healthier and fitter, but man I suck at chess now.

Is all that chess knowledge, addiction, and love for the game still there for me? If I start playing online again, how quickly will I gain back my affinity and skill for the game? I'm going into my junior year of high school, and I'm searching for extracurriculars or just activities for college in general. Ideally, I would want to win competitions, tournaments, or anything of that sort. I know for any activity, I should be passionate about it. Looking back on everything I've done, Chess is really the only thing I was deadset passionate about. Man, I wanted to be a grandmaster back then.
So, it only makes sense for me to pursue chess, because I had a genuine passion about it, and I really believe that I could probably win some big-shot local tournaments with how good I was back then.
What do you guys think? And how should I go about getting back my skill for the game? I'm pretty bad right now.

0.0 is a winning advantage bonglord can agree iwth me

if you let engines play what they consider perfect chess they will probably play some catalan setup every time and make a draw so white cannot prove a significant advantage over black

To be fair though

Also most openings evaporate that 0.2

thats a lot of pawn

Lots of openings are still drawn even though they aren’t technically the best

#

Still... in pro chess the white vs black pieces do get mentioned a lot, like oft it's said that the white player is playing for the win

lean linden
#

true

vernal goblet
#

2 pawns up (assuming u trade everything else is) like guaranteed win, +1 pawn is usually draw

normal mason
#

Depends on the pawns value

lean linden
#

Also depends on whether or not it's opposite colored bishops

normal mason
#

An edge pawn that isn't passed or connected then yeah

If you have an outside passer it’s a win

Hi everyone

there was a very interesting puzzle where people were asked to compose a king and pawn endgame where black was up 3 pawns but it was still a draw and a solution was found (no doubled pawns)

digital kayak
sly ledge
#

placed in the worst spot

digital kayak
last verge
#

of course if you double pawns then it's a different story

#

but three non-doubled pawns has the potential to be a draw still which is pretty cool

lean linden
#

And pawn structure is very important for this question too tho, because if the pawns are doubled in one or more spots, the position changes completely

restive storm
#

open sicilian prep vs najdorf variation

#

2 pawns up can sometimes still be drawn in opposite color bishop endgames

normal mason
digital kayak
#

Up a pawn could be a win

last verge
#

chess is very situational

lean linden

Although I did have this one game with opposite colored bishops and I was up only one pawn and I pulled a win

btw guys isn't this theory
