[09:24]Slek: it was doubled, but I think your decision to castle is questionable
[09:24]Slek: cc?
[09:24]cathysclown: cathysclown
[09:25]Slek: good job picking stuff fast, s
[09:31]Slek: do you play in a club?
[09:31]cathysclown: just here
[09:31]Slek: and only as an unregistered user?
[09:31]cathysclown: I have a registered account as well
[09:32]cathysclown: don't use it much
[09:32]Slek: strange
[09:32]cathysclown: I feel more comfortable playing as a guest
[09:33]Slek: why?
[09:33]cathysclown: my handle
[09:33]Slek: It would never occur to me to do that (playing as a guest)
[09:33]cathysclown: it attracts people to me
[09:33]Slek: because you're a lady, most likely
[09:33]cathysclown: no
[09:34]Slek: what you're not a lady? ABORT
[09:35]Slek: time's running low
[09:36]cathysclown: shit
[09:36]Slek: I was lucky there
[09:36]Slek: should have lost
[09:36]cathysclown: good game
[09:36]Slek: well played
[09:36]cathysclown: are you interested in my handle?
[09:36]cathysclown: lots of people are
[09:36]Slek: not really
[09:36]cathysclown: okay
[09:36]cathysclown: people are attracted to my handle
[09:36]Slek: why?
[09:36]cathysclown: I meet a lot of people
[09:37]cathysclown: because they assume I am female
[09:37]cathysclown: not many females here on fics
[09:37]Slek: if it has "cathy" in it...
[09:37]cathysclown: right
[09:37]cathysclown: it was just a total accident
[09:38]cathysclown: I used to play under the handle of CPFS
[09:38]cathysclown: which was an acronym for can't play for shit
[09:38]Slek: once i was attracted by some girl's handle because it was the name of a character in  a book i was just reading
[09:38]cathysclown: and then some one registered it
[09:38]cathysclown: well your very close
[09:39]cathysclown: tell 53 cathy's clown is a song
[09:39]cathysclown: tell 53 again
[09:39]cathysclown: I do that all the time
[09:39]Slek: wrong window
[09:39]Slek: I was close?
[09:39]cathysclown: that's yeah my handle
[09:39]cathysclown: it's a song title
[09:40]Slek: i wasnt talking about you!
[09:40]cathysclown: oh
[09:40]cathysclown: okay
[09:40]cathysclown: sorry
[09:40]cathysclown: so what book were you reading?
[09:40]cathysclown: and what was the handle?
[09:41]Slek: silmarillion, and the handle was ArwenUndomiel
[09:41]cathysclown: wow
[09:41]Slek: (it was on another server)
[09:41]Slek: how old are you? my guess is that you're a late teen
[09:41]cathysclown: that's tolkien, isn't it?
[09:41]Slek: yep
[09:42]cathysclown: I've read the hobbitt
[09:42]cathysclown: and the lord of the rings
[09:42]cathysclown: but it was a long time ago
[09:42]Slek: Silmarillion is very very condensed
[09:42]cathysclown: and I'm not in my late teens
[09:42]Slek: lord of the rings I must haveread it like5-6 times
[09:42]Slek: 34 here
[09:42]cathysclown: jesus
[09:42]cathysclown: 57 here
[09:42]Slek: wow
[09:43]cathysclown: yeah
[09:43]Slek: I was totally off!
[09:43]cathysclown: just a bit
[09:43]cathysclown: if I was in my late teens I would have won that last game
[09:44]Slek: probably
[09:44]Slek: you deserved it
[09:44]cathysclown: well not really
[09:44]cathysclown: you made some mistakes in time pressure
[09:44]cathysclown: and then I did
[09:44]cathysclown: time pressure sucks
[09:44]Slek: my 1year old daughter here (still there)
[09:45]cathysclown: that's why I like 15 15
[09:45]cathysclown: you have a one-year old
[09:45]Slek: I wasnt sure I'd be able to play that long game
[09:45]cathysclown: that's great
[09:45]Slek: yeah and a soon 5 yo as well
[09:45]cathysclown: that's really great
[09:45]cathysclown: I don't have any kids
[09:45]Slek: well yeah
[09:46]cathysclown: well see, I've met another friend
[09:46]Slek: this morning my son (the 5 yo) woke me up by shouting "okatazuke shinaide!! okatazuke shinaide!!!"
[09:46]cathysclown: what's that?
[09:47]Slek: "don't tidy up" in japanese
[09:47]cathysclown: it sounded japanese to me
[09:47]Slek: my wife is
[09:47]cathysclown: oh
[09:47]cathysclown: okay
[09:48]Slek: last night he wasplaying with his train and the rails that come with, then my wife put the toys back in his placeand when he woke up he saw his constructions were gone, so he got mad
[09:48]cathysclown: hehehehe
[09:49]Slek: the other day my daughter headbutted me while I was sleeping
[09:49]cathysclown: well I wouldn't think she would be able to do much damage
[09:49]cathysclown: other than wake you up
[09:49]Slek: yeah but it's not a pleasant way to wake up
[09:49]cathysclown: hehehehe
[09:49]cathysclown: I gotta have kids
[09:50]cathysclown: well I enjoyed our game
[09:50]cathysclown: and I enjoyed our chat
[09:50]Slek: you screwed up the opening
[09:50]Slek: pleasant chat though
[09:51]cathysclown: and I'm glad to have met you
[09:51]cathysclown: maybe we will talk again soon
[09:51]Slek: likewise Kate
[09:51]Slek: sure
[09:52]Slek: what do you do in massachussets?
[09:52]cathysclown: I'm retired
[09:52]Slek: lucky
[09:52]cathysclown:
[10:00]Slek: bye for now
[10:00]cathysclown: okay my friend
[10:00]slek is not logged in.
[12:12]Slek: hey!
[12:21]Slek: ?
[12:21]Slek: how would i trap you?
[12:21]cathysclown: not you
[12:21]cathysclown: my opponent
[12:21]cathysclown: but it wasn't a trap
[12:21]cathysclown: or if it was it didn't work
[12:32]Slek:
[12:33]Slek: ?
[12:33]Slek: yeah you told me
[12:34]cathysclown: I have to censor this trump guy
[12:34]Slek: what did he do?
[12:34]cathysclown: he annoyed me
[12:35]cathysclown: hmmm
[12:35]cathysclown: he's already gone
[12:35]cathysclown: he must have known
[12:35]Slek: ok
[12:35]cathysclown: I don't like censoring people
[12:36]cathysclown: they really have to go out of their way for me to do it
[12:37]cathysclown: time for a power nap
[12:37]Slek: once I told some guy some really bad insult, he was like "oh that's a nice expression you have", we chatted and he ended up helping me on a computer problem
[12:37]Slek: bye
[12:37]cathysclown: so I can come back later and kick ass
[17:00]Slek: hey, wanna play a 15 15 or so?
[17:00]cathysclown: yes
[17:01]Slek: good luck
[17:01]cathysclown: thank you
[17:01]Slek: people are still attracted to you?
[17:01]cathysclown: some, yes
[17:02]cathysclown: I like this time control
[17:02]cathysclown: because I can chat
[17:02]Slek: I just want to play a relaxed game while watching a movie
[17:02]cathysclown: without losing on time
[17:02]Slek: if you run out of time I will add you some
[17:03]cathysclown: no need
[17:03]cathysclown: I won't run out of time at this level
[17:03]cathysclown: but I can talk to you
[17:03]cathysclown: and not feel pressured
[17:04]Slek: by the way why do you still call yourself cathy if you dont like people to be attracted to you?
[17:04]cathysclown: people call me cathy
[17:04]cathysclown: people call me cc
[17:04]Slek: well it's faster to type than cathysclown
[17:04]cathysclown: and some people call me josh
[17:05]cathysclown: but my real name is jim
[17:05]cathysclown: and nobody calls me that
[17:06]Slek: I thought your name was James
[17:06]cathysclown: it is
[17:06]cathysclown: but jim is short for james
[17:06]cathysclown: and I like jim better
[17:06]Slek: my name is Sam (short for Samuel)
[17:07]cathysclown: good name
[17:07]cathysclown: I like both
[17:07]Slek: there's a lady called CathyNYC here, I spoke to her once on the French channel, I mistook you for her the first time I spoke to you
[17:08]cathysclown: well I'm a guy
[17:08]cathysclown: as you know
[17:08]Slek: yeah I know
[17:08]cathysclown: did I tell you about my handle?
[17:08]cathysclown: a lot of people ask me
[17:08]Slek: but the first time I spoke to you your name with cathy, and I remembered talking to a Cathy onces
[17:08]Slek: once
[17:08]Slek: yeah, it's a book
[17:08]Slek: you told me
[17:08]cathysclown: no
[17:08]cathysclown: it's not a book
[17:09]Slek: what is it then?
[17:10]cathysclown: it's a song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXvKAWiU_cQ
[17:10]cathysclown: a really great song
[17:10]cathysclown: from 1960
[17:10]Slek: gonna check now
[17:11]cathysclown: I love the everly brothers
[17:11]cathysclown: nobody sang two-part harmony like them
[17:11]cathysclown: nobody
[17:11]Slek: it's not bad...
[17:12]cathysclown: they were terrific
[17:12]Slek: it's great actually, thanks for the link
[17:12]cathysclown: and that's not even their best song
[17:12]cathysclown: you're married, right?
[17:12]Slek: yeah
[17:12]Slek: 2 kids
[17:13]cathysclown: okay
[17:13]cathysclown: pass this along to your wife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LboNYB_oKTY
[17:14]cathysclown: beautiful song
[17:15]Slek: it's incredible I spent so much time to play a losing move
[17:15]cathysclown: that's because I'm distracting you
[17:16]cathysclown: that's why I like this time control
[17:16]Slek: I think I wanted to play something original
[17:17]cathysclown: I like being able to chat with my opponents
[17:17]cathysclown: or sometimes others
[17:17]cathysclown: without feeling pressed for time
[17:17]cathysclown: whoa
[17:17]Slek: second song is nice as well
[17:18]Slek: let's do it baby
[17:18]cathysclown: no that's great
[17:18]cathysclown: devoted to you
[17:18]cathysclown: I love that song
[17:18]Slek: it's quite relaxing
[17:18]cathysclown: but I just couldn't use it as a handle
[17:18]Slek: "DevotedToYourKing"?
[17:18]cathysclown: my king is safe
[17:19]cathysclown: you can't get to it
[17:19]Slek: sadly yes
[17:20]cathysclown: how long have you been on fics?
[17:21]Slek: too long
[17:21]Slek: there is this song I like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0PE2wM903A
[17:21]Slek: like 13 years
[17:21]cathysclown: well I've been on only about 5-6 years
[17:22]cathysclown: ever since icc banned guests
[17:22]cathysclown: and there are very few women here, as I'm sure you've noticed
[17:22]Slek: why dont you create an account?
[17:23]cathysclown: actually I do have an account
[17:23]Slek: there are some
[17:23]cathysclown: I use it rarely
[17:23]Slek: there is Funkmaus and BethanyGrace
[17:23]cathysclown: mostly to observe games
[17:23]cathysclown: so I can kibitz
[17:24]Slek: I like to observe GM's games here
[17:24]cathysclown: because guests can't kibitz
[17:24]cathysclown: but I meet a lot more people with the cc handle
[17:24]Slek: the chan 53 is surprisely fun
[17:24]Slek: I have a friend who goes there as guest
[17:24]cathysclown: I can't tell you how many people have approached me because of the cc handle
[17:25]Slek: he has an account but he got banned several times because an admin here hates him
[17:25]cathysclown: nice song
[17:25]cathysclown: is it japanese?
[17:25]Slek: yep
[17:25]cathysclown: really nice
[17:25]Slek: I fell in love with that song more than ten years ago, when I watched the movie "japanese story"
[17:26]cathysclown: it had a long intro
[17:26]cathysclown: I thought it was an instrumental
[17:26]cathysclown: it's beautiful
[17:27]Slek: it's an Okinawa song
[17:27]cathysclown: you're a cool guy
[17:27]Slek: why?
[17:27]cathysclown: so I have to tell you this
[17:27]cathysclown: because you are
[17:27]cathysclown: I can't explain
[17:27]cathysclown: you just are
[17:27]cathysclown: I have this lady friend here
[17:27]cathysclown: on fics
[17:27]Slek: you could have said "you're a moron" with the exact same argument
[17:28]cathysclown: I suppose so
[17:28]cathysclown: and she's really nice
[17:28]cathysclown: I won't tell you her handle
[17:29]cathysclown: because she guards her privacy like fort know guards its gold
[17:29]cathysclown: fort knox
[17:29]cathysclown: and I don't know how it came up
[17:30]cathysclown: but the subject of my height somehow came up
[17:30]cathysclown: I can't remember
[17:30]Slek: lo
[17:30]Slek: lol
[17:30]cathysclown: and I told her the truth
[17:30]cathysclown: I told her I was five foot four
[17:31]cathysclown: and that's a real obstacle to overcome when it comes to women
[17:31]Slek: how high is that in meters?
[17:31]cathysclown: I'm not sure
[17:31]cathysclown: I'm not really good at that
[17:31]Slek: one moment
[17:32]cathysclown: I'm pretty short
[17:32]Slek: http://www.metric-conversions.org/length/feet-to-meters.htm
[17:32]Slek: 1m64
[17:32]Slek: that's pretty short
[17:32]cathysclown: yes it is
[17:32]cathysclown: I'm well aware of that
[17:33]Slek: I am 1m70 (5.7 foot)
[17:33]cathysclown: and it hurts you when it comes to attracting women
[17:33]Slek: so I rarely see men shorter than me
[17:33]Slek:
[17:33]cathysclown: I never see men shorter than me
[17:34]cathysclown: I've heard that they exist
[17:34]cathysclown: but I've never actually seen one
[17:34]Slek: I've seen midgets way shorter than you
[17:34]Slek: dont know if that counts
[17:34]cathysclown: anyway I told this woman
[17:35]cathysclown: and she's really, really nice
[17:35]cathysclown: I told her about my height
[17:35]cathysclown: and how it handicaps me when it comes to women
[17:35]Slek: this morning I saw a couple carrying a girl in a baby buggy, the girl had the body of a baby but her face looked much older, like 12 years old, maybe more
[17:35]cathysclown: it's a big hurdle to overcome
[17:35]Slek: you're 57 arent you?
[17:36]cathysclown: yes I am
[17:36]Slek: you're still chasing girls?
[17:36]cathysclown: I'm single
[17:36]cathysclown: but I'm not really chasing any more
[17:36]Slek: I assumed that passed a certain age men stopped being intersted in seducing girls
[17:36]cathysclown: she wants me to
[17:36]Slek: well, meet her if she wants to
[17:37]cathysclown: well we're separated by 30 years and 3000 miles
[17:37]cathysclown: and she has a boyfriend
[17:37]Slek: 3000 miles... where does she live?
[17:38]cathysclown: she lives in los angeles, ca
[17:38]cathysclown: and I live in massachusetts
[17:38]cathysclown: opposite coasts
[17:38]Slek: I know you're in massachussetts
[17:38]Slek: I thought it was more than 3000 miles between the coast, so I assumed she was in Europe
[17:38]cathysclown: but she wants me to get involved with someone
[17:39]Slek: nicegirl
[17:39]cathysclown: she is
[17:39]cathysclown: she is
[17:39]cathysclown: but sometimes she can be a little insensitive
[17:39]Slek: do you want me to add you some time?
[17:39]cathysclown: no
[17:40]Slek: tell me whenver you want more time
[17:41]cathysclown: okay
[17:41]cathysclown: but I'm just going to be silent for a while
[17:41]Slek: ok
[17:41]cathysclown: don't think I'm being unfriendly
[17:41]Slek: no prob
[17:42]Slek: lol I forgot the discovery
[17:42]cathysclown: yeah, you're toast
[17:45]cathysclown: ouch
[17:45]Slek: overconfidence...
[17:45]cathysclown: I forgot cathy's motto
[17:46]Slek: what is it?
[17:46]cathysclown: "don't get careless"
[17:46]cathysclown: shit
[17:46]cathysclown:
[17:46]Slek: sorry...
[17:46]cathysclown: I got really fucking careless
[17:47]cathysclown: well played
[17:47]Slek: you're a good player as well
[17:47]cathysclown: to finish my story
[17:47]cathysclown: she's really nice
[17:47]Slek: about that LA girl?
[17:48]cathysclown: yes
[17:48]cathysclown: but just a tad insensitive
[17:48]cathysclown: when I told her I was just five foor four
[17:48]cathysclown: five foot four
[17:48]Slek: she called you a midget?
[17:49]cathysclown: no
[17:49]cathysclown: worse than that actually
[17:49]Slek: wow
[17:49]Slek: I want to know!
[17:49]cathysclown: because she was actually trying to encourage me
[17:50]cathysclown: build up my confidence
[17:50]cathysclown: she wasn' t trying to put me down
[17:50]Slek: "build up your confidence", you're talking like you're a teenager or something
[17:51]cathysclown: well no I'm not
[17:51]cathysclown: but she was
[17:51]cathysclown: I know she was
[17:51]cathysclown: you see I had already told her that I had fallen for her
[17:51]Slek: I do you know it wasnt aguy who was #$%&ing with you?
[17:51]cathysclown: I've considered that
[17:52]cathysclown: but nobody would waste all that time just to mess with me
[17:52]Slek: I doubt that
[17:52]cathysclown: we've spent hours and hours together talking
[17:52]Slek: people are stupid sometimes
[17:52]cathysclown: no
[17:52]Slek: but yeah it's unlikely
[17:53]cathysclown: believe me I thought about it
[17:53]cathysclown: in fact I logged off once because I thought I was being messed with
[17:53]cathysclown: but I don't see how
[17:54]cathysclown: why anybody would waste hours and hours of their time just to mess with me
[17:54]cathysclown: it just didn't add up
[17:54]cathysclown: anyway
[17:54]cathysclown: here's what she said
[17:55]cathysclown: when I told her I'm five foot four
[17:55]cathysclown: and she's trying to lift my spirits
[17:55]cathysclown: give me encouragement
[17:55]Slek: and?
[17:55]cathysclown: she said
[17:56]cathysclown: "do you think anyone shorter than you has ever gotten laid?"
[17:56]Slek: I'd say yes
[17:56]cathysclown: well I don't actually know anybody
[17:56]cathysclown: but I told her I would suspect so
[17:56]Slek: I saw a tv program once about a guy who was 1m50
[17:56]cathysclown: but it was a kick in the gonads
[17:57]Slek: so the guy is 1.50 or 4.11 feet
[17:57]Slek: he decided to work out
[17:58]Slek: became french champion of body building
[17:58]Slek: and was dating a very tall girl
[17:58]Slek: he was doing stand up comedy as well
[17:59]cathysclown: here's a link for you
[17:59]cathysclown: check it out after our game
[17:59]Slek: ok
[17:59]cathysclown: it's really kind of funny
[17:59]cathysclown: http://www.xojane.com/it-happened-to-me/discrimination-against-short-men
[18:02]cathysclown: bathroom break ... brb
[18:02]Slek: k
[18:05]cathysclown: I'm back
[18:05]Slek: ok
[18:06]Slek: I'm still thinking about my move
[18:06]cathysclown: oh
[18:06]cathysclown: okay good
[18:06]cathysclown: I thought you might have been waiting for me
[18:06]Slek: I wouldnt have
[18:06]cathysclown: I wouldn't want that
[18:07]cathysclown: can I ask you a question?
[18:07]Slek: sure
[18:07]cathysclown: have you ever thrown a game on purpose?
[18:08]Slek: dont think
[18:08]cathysclown: well I never did either
[18:08]Slek: you mean in a tournament or when playing with friends?
[18:08]cathysclown: no I mean here
[18:08]cathysclown: unrated
[18:09]Slek: no but sometimes I play a bit below my level
[18:09]cathysclown: okay
[18:09]cathysclown: I think I know what you mean
[18:09]cathysclown: if I'm playing someone who I believe to be much weaker than me
[18:09]cathysclown: I'll play inferior openings
[18:10]cathysclown: just for fun
[18:10]Slek: I tend to play super risky lines sometimes
[18:10]cathysclown: but I'm not really trying to lose
[18:10]cathysclown: I think we are of like minds
[18:10]cathysclown: but the other day
[18:10]cathysclown: I was playing this 16-year old girl
[18:11]cathysclown: or at least she claimed to be
[18:11]cathysclown: and there are so few womene here
[18:11]cathysclown: I decided I would try to encourage her
[18:11]cathysclown: so I decided to throw the game
[18:12]cathysclown: but I wanted to make it look real
[18:12]cathysclown: I wanted to her to think she had really beaten me
[18:12]cathysclown: and it was tough
[18:12]cathysclown: really tough
[18:12]cathysclown: to intentionally lose a game
[18:12]cathysclown: and yet not clue your opponent on
[18:13]cathysclown: and I was doing a really good job
[18:13]cathysclown: very convincing
[18:13]cathysclown: and we had exchanged down into an endgame
[18:13]cathysclown: and I was the exchange down
[18:13]cathysclown: and lost
[18:13]cathysclown: and I was feeling really good about myself
[18:14]cathysclown: and then she disconnected
[18:14]Slek: I wouldnt do that
[18:14]Slek: (losing on purpose)
[18:14]cathysclown: I've never done it before
[18:14]cathysclown: never
[18:14]cathysclown: never
[18:14]cathysclown: but I just felt this weakness
[18:15]cathysclown: maybe I could encourage this girl to play chess
[18:15]cathysclown: this woman player I was telling you about earlier
[18:16]cathysclown: I won't tell you her handle
[18:16]cathysclown: but she is fucking scary
[18:16]Slek: how sacry?
[18:16]Slek: scary
[18:16]cathysclown: very scary
[18:17]Slek: #$%&
[18:17]cathysclown: you've played me a few times
[18:17]cathysclown: how would you evaluate me?
[18:17]cathysclown: be honest
[18:17]Slek: what do you mean?
[18:17]cathysclown: strength-wise
[18:18]Slek: dunno
[18:18]Slek: I am 1900 but I feel I play badly
[18:18]cathysclown: well it is a small sample
[18:18]Slek: so let's say my level is around 1800
[18:18]Slek: you must be similar to me, a bit stronger, so I'd say 1850
[18:18]cathysclown: well I'm rated 2050 USCF
[18:18]Slek: I was talking about fide rating
[18:19]cathysclown: but I haven't played in six years
[18:19]cathysclown: so I'm probably not at that level any more
[18:19]Slek: I guess I wasnt too far off
[18:19]cathysclown: maybe 1950-2000
[18:19]cathysclown: well I played this woman twice
[18:20]cathysclown: and she cut me to pieces both times
[18:20]Slek: nice
[18:20]cathysclown: she sliced me and diced me
[18:20]Slek: I have a story to tell
[18:20]Slek: my wife is Japanese, you know that
[18:20]cathysclown: and I've asked her a couple of times "who are you?"
[18:20]cathysclown: yes, go ahead
[18:21]Slek: her father, he used to play shogi when he was younger, but he didnt play in a while
[18:21]Slek: (shogi is Japanese chess)
[18:21]cathysclown: okay
[18:21]Slek: his job i not something too sophisticated, like electronic salesman or something
[18:22]Slek: I played shogi with him couple of times and I thought that for someone who hasnt played in a long time he's quite good (my shogi level must have been like 1300 and he was approximately like me)
[18:22]Slek: another time, I showed him how to play chess
[18:23]Slek: I set up some positions with checkmated to find
[18:24]Slek: first one is: Black has Kg8, pawns in h7,g7,f7, white is the same symetric, with a rook in e1
[18:24]Slek: so he finds instantly Re8+
[18:24]cathysclown: well that's easy
[18:24]Slek: I set up other simple positions
[18:24]Slek: he finds them
[18:24]Slek: then I go a bit more complicated, he still finds
[18:24]Slek: then I was thinking "#$%& you"
[18:24]cathysclown: hehehehe
[18:25]Slek: there, I set the smuther mate
[18:25]Slek: he took time, but he found it
[18:25]Slek: smuthered mate
[18:25]cathysclown: the knight on bishop 7
[18:25]Slek: yeah
[18:25]cathysclown: right
[18:25]Slek: with the Queen sacrifice
[18:25]cathysclown: right
[18:25]Slek: he found that
[18:26]Slek: I just told him "checkmate in 3"
[18:27]cathysclown: here's one to give him
[18:27]cathysclown: this will make him think
[18:27]Slek: he was like 65 years old when that happened, isnt that impressive?
[18:28]cathysclown: do you know the saavedra position?
[18:28]Slek: nope
[18:28]cathysclown: it's not sexual
[18:28]cathysclown: well it's a really simple position
[18:28]cathysclown: two pieces on the board
[18:28]cathysclown: beside the kings
[18:28]cathysclown: a rook and a pawn
[18:29]Slek: after that, I went on internet, looked for a two movers problem, set that, it took me one hour to find it, he was looking for the whole time
[18:29]Slek: set it up
[18:29]cathysclown: but there's a tremendous amount of hidden details in the position
[18:29]Slek: type "ex"
[18:29]cathysclown: ex
[18:29]Slek: in the console
[18:35]cathysclown: examine
[18:35]Slek: ok
[18:35]cathysclown: ex
[18:36]Slek: not this window
[18:36]cathysclown: shit
[18:37]cathysclown: I just don't get it
[18:38]Slek: ok, tell me the position of the pieces
[18:38]cathysclown: ex
[18:38]cathysclown: okay
[18:38]cathysclown: for white
[18:38]cathysclown: Kb5
[18:38]cathysclown: b6
[18:38]Slek: yes
[18:39]cathysclown: siorry
[18:39]cathysclown: sorry
[18:39]cathysclown: pawn on c6
[18:39]cathysclown: for black
[18:39]cathysclown: Ka1
[18:39]cathysclown: Rd5
[18:39]cathysclown: white to move
[18:39]Slek: ok
[18:40]Slek: observe me
[18:40]cathysclown: ob slek
[18:40]Slek: you got the wrong window
[18:40]Slek: "observe slek"
[18:40]Slek: click there
[18:41]cathysclown: white's king should be on b6
[18:41]cathysclown: and then white to move
[18:41]Slek: like this?
[18:41]cathysclown: yes
[18:41]cathysclown: exactly
[18:41]cathysclown: no
[18:41]cathysclown: back up
[18:42]cathysclown: can I move the pieces?
[18:42]Slek: now you can
[18:43]Slek: nevermind
[18:43]Slek: #$%& you!
[18:44]cathysclown: anybody who as ever seen this position will never forget it
[18:45]Slek: so that leads to draw...
[18:45]cathysclown: maybe so
[18:45]cathysclown: maybe no
[18:45]Slek: oh
[18:45]cathysclown: right
[18:45]cathysclown: that's it
[18:46]cathysclown: win's the rook or forces mate
[18:46]cathysclown: it's amazing how much can be concealed in such a simple position
[18:46]Slek: yes
[18:47]cathysclown: I'm surprised you've never seen it
[18:47]Slek: thanks for showing this to me
[18:47]Slek: (and for the songs as well)
[18:47]cathysclown: you are most welcome
[18:48]cathysclown: I've met another friend
[18:48]cathysclown: I owe that a lot to my handle
[18:48]cathysclown: I don't know if I told you this
[18:48]cathysclown: I speak to so many people I can't keep track
[18:49]cathysclown: I used to play under the handle of CPFS
[18:49]cathysclown: did I tell you?
[18:49]Slek: funny you're unregistered
[18:49]Slek: you didnt tell me about that handle
[18:49]cathysclown: I'm registered too
[18:49]Slek: you have a #$%&ty rating
[18:49]cathysclown: well it was an acronym
[18:49]cathysclown: it stood for can't play for shit
[18:50]Slek:
[18:50]cathysclown: and then somebody registered it
[18:50]cathysclown: played for about three days
[18:50]cathysclown: and disappeared
[18:50]cathysclown: but the handle was gone for good
[18:50]cathysclown: so I just reversed it
[18:51]Slek: There is no player matching the name sfcp.
[18:51]cathysclown: I started playing under the handle of SFPC
[18:51]Slek: fi SFPC  There is no player matching the name sfpc.
[18:51]cathysclown: but there is one for cpfs
[18:51]cathysclown: you'll find it
[18:51]cathysclown: and then one day
[18:52]cathysclown: I lost connection
[18:52]cathysclown: and I couldn't log back on
[18:52]cathysclown: with the same handle
[18:52]Slek: that sucks
[18:52]cathysclown: the server kept telling me sfpc is already logged on
[18:53]cathysclown: and I had the everly brothers playing in the background
[18:53]cathysclown: and on came cathy's clown
[18:53]cathysclown: and I thought to myself
[18:53]cathysclown: why not?
[18:53]cathysclown: so I logged on as cc
[18:53]cathysclown: and it's stuck like glue
[18:54]cathysclown: and I meet a lot more people
[18:54]cathysclown: nobody approached me when I was cpfs or sfpc
[18:55]cathysclown: nobody
[18:55]cathysclown: and now people approach me all the time

[18:57]cathysclown: I get that a lot
[18:57]Slek: I think you said something like "XXX why dont you play me" and I was in the mood for a friendly game
[18:57]Slek: no
[18:57]cathysclown: understandably
[18:57]cathysclown: no you did
[18:57]Slek: you said "lots of people are attracted to me" so I said "it's because you're a lady"
