    If I were Danny Hurley...

    If Gaffney and Cole could shoot like Curry and Klay, they would be more dangerous.

    If I were Danny Hurley...

    I would recruit a few guys who can shoot like this. This is unreal.

    The Queen's Gambit - Netflix

    Watch this video from a key moment in a world championship game. Kasparov played the move almost instantly - he "knew" the sacrifice was correct. He somehow knew all the lines being demonstrated worked for him in an instant. Pure instinct.

    The Queen's Gambit - Netflix

    Speed chess is a HUGE part of chess culture and someone like Benny would have played thousands and thousands of speed chess games before crushing Beth. Speed chess is like anything else. You have to train specifically for it to be your best. 1) How many variations? Studies have shown that...

    Magnus is on a massive tilt. I don't think he is going to make the finals

    The Queen's Gambit - Netflix

    This is partly what drove Fischer's insane hatred of the Soviets. The Soviets would even make arranged draws between themselves to all save their energy vs. Fischer. Elite Chess is like taking 5 finals in a day for weeks. Rest is EXTREMELY important because many games are decided by a...

    OT: Any fans of Netflix's Queen's Gambit? Miss Sports?

    Tomorrow at noon EST the finals of the 2020 Speed Chess Championship. 5 time US Champion Hikaru Nakamura has already won his semi final and he will likely be up against Classical Chess World Champion Magnus Carlsen (assuming Carlsen wins today at noon) This is speed chess - the variant the...

    OT: Boneyard Lawyers

    That the rub. And back to lawyers. We could have AI trucks and cut the number of overall fatalities in half and the lawyers will still be suing in the half that remain.

    OT: Boneyard Lawyers

    Machine Learning is going to play a number of the legal profession. Most research will be done faster and cheaper using AI and much much much higher quality. The quality part alone will be a killer. This is where Lawyers are going to do their best work. Fight tooth and nail to protect their...

    Samson Johnson update

    An underrated talent is the ability to watch a 15 or 16 year old kid and be able to project what kind of player he will become. Calhoun was one of the best at this. Hurley seems to be able to ID players who have a big upside. Maybe it comes from growing up in a HS gym with a HOF Dad?

    From UConn MBB Twitter: First Practice in the books

    I think Whaley can work on his 3 point shot and become a guy at the end of a NBA bench. Think Semi Ojeleye. Defense, rebounding, some shooting and always ready to play with whatever minutes he gets

    2022 Recruiting: Clingan Update

    He looks like the before picture. A little soft and doughy. I like that he pushes other guys around - some big guys can be a bit passive.

    247 on Samson Johnson

    Some players have a nose for the ball. It just ends up in their hands. If he has that gift, I agree that he can be a special player for us.

    OT: NBA Playoffs

    the Clippers are my favorite to win it all but I still think the Mavs can push to a 7th game. Luka needs another year. the NBA is insane right now with young talent.

    Now comes Luka time. If the Mavs win tonight, good lord!

    Luka is going to get better which is crazy. He did it on Kobe's birthday. Somehow feels fitting.

    Kemba on verge of first playoff series win

    Losing Hayward hurts but the C's are still loaded. Brown, Tatum and Kemba can all carry a team for a quarter or two. Smart's defense is amazing but he can score a little and seems to find Theis for a couple of easy dunks every game. Theis and Kantor are out performing Al Horford in this series.

    OT: Unbelievable Chess Tournament coming down to the wire.

    I just transpose into a french but if anyone at my level played it, I would come up with a way to punish it. It is kinda crap. I would rather play the Danish or Evans Gambit OldBosd on chess.com Open for business for the next 15 minutes
