Entering 4th year, 2nd overall pick, no Lamelo. Everyone says he's "injury prone," but he only has one season where he missed a ton of time. The other two years 65+ games. I was actually surprised because I thought there were times where he did miss more time. Is 4th round too rich?
My friend is turning 40 next month and he's been to a couple bachata socials, but he said he felt weird dancing with strangers that were much younger than him. Ladies, is this a problem? I'm 30, but I never even considered this tbh. Maybe he has a point. What am I going to do when I get older? I see his point that he may feel out of place and that people may judge him.
What's it like rostering KD? His percentages are still amazing and he still is an amazing scoring. Defense numbers are non-existent and assist are mid. Would you take him over Jalen Johnson?
Maybe this question has been asked on here so I apologize for the repetitiveness. I'm very passionate about chess. I have a rapid rating over 1900 on chess.com. OTB, I'm around 1700.
I always knew Mr. Kubrick was passionate about chess at an early age from reading his genral bio. I think he was a member of the Marshall Chess Club in NYC.
I was reading an article on chess.com and it was a game in 1955 where Kubrick was playing against Anthony Saidy. For non chess people, Anthony Saidy is an IM (International Master) and mentored Bobby Fischer. He won 1960 Canadian Open Chess Championship and finished as high as 4th in the US Chess Championship. This is a legit player.
Kubrick beat Saidy. I was really impressed with how Kubrick played against an IM. He played in a very aggressive tactical style. This game obviously wasn't a tourtamnet game. It was just a casual game, but it still made me curious how strong Kubrick was. This is the only game recorded of him, but judging by this game and his opponent he at least has to be 2000 rated.
I was just wondering if any Kubrick aficionados would know anything else about his chess life and skill.
Oh, and here is the game if anyone is interested. https://www.chess.com/blog/ChessCoach4Beginners/chess-and-stanley-kubrick-a-grandmaster-of-cinema-and-the-game-of-kings
Hope you all are having a good day. Thanks.
How do I know what moves to do before? I keep thinking too much to the point where I freeze up. Is this normal for a beginner to feel or is it just me.
I like watching dance demos online. What should I keep note of? Should I pay more attention to footwork, or more to connection? Should I pay attention to frame?
I have been taking up Bachata and I'm still trying to get used to dancing with more close connection and sensuality. How do I practice this? I'm a lead btw.
