White to move, what would you do?
Consider this end game situation.
As white, your pawn has been
advancing up the board. What is
your best move in this position?
Chess move 1: Advance the pawn to h7
Chess move 2: Move the rook up two squares,
(to h3) giving check to the king
Other moves are possible, but which of those
two moves is better for white?
Clear Thinking About Marfa Lights
In a high desert area of southwest Texas,
south of Marfa, strange lights sometimes
appear to fly over the bushes. Are all of
the “mystery lights” caused by the night
mirages of car headlights on a nearby
highway? Not these particular lights, for
they have been analyzed by Mr James
Bunnell and other scientists. The flying
lights Bunnell calls “CE-III’ are nothing
like car headlights, even with mirages.
Clear thinking is needed in both chess and in cryptozoology.
The dancing behavior of CE-III mystery lights around Marfa,
Texas, reveal intelligence direction or purpose. It is nothing
that can be adequately explained in non-living terms like
ball lightning or earth lights.
These Marfa Lights may be caused by bioluminescent
flying predators similar to the ropen of Papua New Guinea,
a cryptid that is described like a living pterosaur. Strange
as that seems, a living pterosaur is indeed scientifically
possible and “flying predator” is actually probable.
