Modern Defense; Three Pawns Attack With 2f4

This is a typical sloppy, challenging, difficult to win, three minute blitz game. Clearing out the king side eventually worked against black.

3-M Blitz Sicilian Defense Delayed Alapin Variation

Variations of the Sicilian Defense are fun to experiment with in three minute blitz chess. It isn't at all technical like the solstice variation or whatever yet it is interesting to compare and contrast delayed dragons with king's indians.

I am putting up a couple of blitz games- I haven't posted any in a while. They don't always work out so well as this one.

Rushing in a Blitz Chess Game

Moving too quickly in blitz chess because of time concerns brings people to make some serious blunders.

Plainly the game was replete with blunders on both sides, yet that is blitz chess.

Puget Sound as a Paradigm for Ecological Decline (fiction)

Wolfminh grew a little more concerned with the ancient story portraying the destruction of the original environment of the first planet of humankind in its long history.

“Do you think there is a lesson to be learned here Wolfminh?”

“That left unchecked the human drive to consume is like a virus on a planet’s people and ecosphere. Something like leprosy progressively moving across a body until it is consumed?”

“Yes, something like that Wolfminh. Later humanity realized after reflection upon its disasters that a philosophical value system, an axiology, for a realistic economic system needed to regard wealth as a function of the general well-being of all of the people of the culture. Rich people may be allowed, yet not so rich as to make the possession of wealth equal to the possession of political power. Billionaires in your deck are just a tiny percent of the trillions and trillions of humans living over the free expanse of the galaxy. They too realize that the security of all can be no greater than the security and wealth of the least of humanity. All of humanity are brought to exist within an effective, constructive range of inventive and contemplative existence. The extremes of concentrated wealth and poverty such as the Aristarchs and other imperialists use are absent from a free human society.”

“Lena said; “Let me show you a new game Wolfminh, I think you’ll like it.”

“What is it?” asked Wolfminh as Lena brought it up in a new window.

“As you can see from the banner above the Clint Westwood character dressed as Chief Seattle- it’s called Future Fracker. It’s a way of modeling human ecological economic histories on the geographies of planets historically and discovering the effects of ecological economic systems on the future of a given world-covering. In the example world, human beings have crossed the Bering Strait before the sea level rises and make their way south to Mexico while some stop to colonize Puget Sound in the future Washington State The boundaries of the future state of Washington are marked in orange and the naturally healthy ecosphere is green. Human settlements are red and industrial activity blue. As human activities infect the green and spread the newly dead green regions become black.”

“What happens if they become white? That’s a question better answered way down the road in the future. White occurring generally means nuclear wipe out or worse, though rarely it heralds utopia. We aren’t using white too much in the colors of Future Fract since the problem is more of civil than war economic consequences of ecology and economic policy choices.”

Clint Westwood as Chief Seattle sure looks angry.”

Chief Seattle was grim. He appeared at the industrial pollution expansion site as a ground-breaking ceremony and ribbon cutting for the expansion of the industrial pollution factory with a vast new asphalt parking lot was about to go ahead. Chief Seattle’s appearance differed from that of the crowd of sycophants and politicians gathered around the stage and speaker making the great, pompous speech about jobs and progress. Thus the speaker looked at Chief Seattle. Seattle looked back and said; “Do ya feel lucky punk? Go ahead, cut, make my day”, his hand posed ready to draw a light saber.

“And well he should, great actor as he was at 98. The ecosphere of the state of Washington died at a regular pace as unplanned human sprawl consumed and devoured ecological health. Instead of concentrating human population centers and retaining a healthy wilderness with land set aside for farming, the entire state is consumed by a human economic equivalent of flesh eating bacteria. Mammal life disappears from land and even sea as killer whale pods disappear into history. Salmon streams are converted to drainage ditches and sewers, asphalt and concrete paths grow all over the state to transport fossil fuel-farting machines that warm the sky and squash animals under tire. Enough of the intro game. I want to show you the principles of quantitative modeling of economic and ecological position initial start locations, quantitative analysis of the natural resources of a region and if they are renewable or not, and the way that Immanuel Kant’s moral categorical imperative should shape the choice of reproductive ecological economic systems through fractal analysis too.

Modeling the reproductive value of an ecological economy relies on the way it may be conjugated with growth.

Each ecological economy is a Mandelbrot formula with constants that can reproduce itself yet nothing more. It can burn up or conserve resources yet will be nothing else; never progressive.

For progress the Mandelbrot value need be combined with another fractal formula and finding two fractal’s that may be combined without destroying one another isn't easy. Yet the value of being able to combine two ecological economic systems that allow growth and techno-social advance is so high that heterosexual marriage of ecological methods is requisite for anyone with a realistic idea of mankind’s place in nature and the Universe.”

“Why don’t single fractal economies work?”

“Wolfminh, the best explanation might be a simple analogy to waveforms that are in sync or not. Heterogeneous waveforms could virtually fill up a geographic region as yin and yang composites comprise a whole and in our ecological economic system actually create new ecological economic life. On the other hand, same-fractal waveforms even with different Mandelbrot values combine destructively without conjugation or producing anything new. Instead they double power of their self-same waveform continuing whatever dysfunction ecological economic pattern of gross, mindless consumerism is present and annihilating biological life and of course, human freedom.

“You should try to use the game to create your own fractal worlds and values conjugating those with other oppositely signed fractals to generate new ecological economic system values occasionally; not too many or too often as you will overwhelm carrying capacity of the host worlds and even theoretically, that of the entire galaxy.

Kant’s categorical imperative for moral effectiveness informs us that no rule for self-conduct should be made that could not reasonably be applied to to everyone as a universal moral law. With that premise in mind we may consider if our social ecological economic practice if reproduced at large scale would act positively or destructively concerning ecospheric health, and then to what extent it need be modified for use.”

Varieties of Faster-than-Light Travel (fiction)

"I want the FTL tech facility brought to Coronation in my personal quarters on this planet.”

Aristarch Conn spoke into his zip link; “Zillary, tell me, who is the most wise man besides myself on Coronation.”

“That would be the Metaphysician of Riga Misaul Tal.”

“And where is he now?”

“A the dungeon in Coronation’s South Pole. You aren’t thinking of conferring with that poop are you? He has delusions of glory being an astronomer. Some astronomers still are insufferably conceited because of their belief that they discovered or made the Universe. Automated electro-magnetic spectral analysis of the Universe with computers far surpassed human observations. Astronomers became fundamentally superfluous thousands of years ago. He can’t possibly have anything useful to say. “

“Entire occupations have ridden the coattails of a single inventor Zillary. Few people are geniuses as am I and other Aristarchs. I will dispose of Astronomer Tal after I extract useful data from it. Thanks twit.”

“Jolly Rodgin”, Hillary said before she about faced and sauntered away.

Conn ordered the metaphysician to appear. In several minutes a tall, emaciated fellow wearing an orange turn-to-glue and sprout feathers prison jump suit stood before him.

“Tell me metaphysician wise man of faster than light technologies. I have secured a second generation faster than light tech unit and wish to know its principles of operation.”

“Honorable Aristarch, may I review the four fundamental types of known faster than light technologies?”

“You may, proceed.”

“Aristarch Conn, FTL 1 tech is what you have used so far as I know, already. Vast quantities of mass and energy of space-time are forced together with tremendous concatenated power such that fault lines across space time are made to exist, acting as vast one-dimensional strings. With right design the vacant sections of space time are bent and warped along the string lines permitting a space-time disequilibrium that allows a snap-back into place with a slingshot like whipsaw of an acute object placed correctly, to another sector of space time. Theorists have regarded it as extremely materially wasteful and costly.”

“Yes metaphysican. Zillary called it very dirty and loved it.”

“Ummhumm; FTL 2 tech that you say you have acquired may be explained with the idea of Einstein’s two-dimensional rubber sheet of space-time with mass set upon it forcing it to sink a little wherever mass is concentrated under gravity. If the space-time sheet is considered to have infinite elastic properties, or at least elastic until light speed, then it is possible to consider stretching space-time with a focal point of pressure such as a blunt-ended knitting needle. Given sufficient focused pressure the rubber sheet may allow itself to be stretched away perpendicularly from the basic flat rubber sheet. And if the force is made to curve, the extruding cylinder of rubber could be forced to stretch so far as to bend around to touch a far end of the sheet. At that point where the extruded sheet reaches and touches the rubber sheet at a distant location the traveler is allowed to rupture and reenter space-time in some distant place and time while the extruding rubber cylinder instantly returns to its original position and place. The traveler in an FTL 2 tech unit would not seem to himself to have moved anywhere at all, he would just be in a new space-time local.”

“What about the properties Einstein described in general relativity about mass increasing infinitely as a traveler approaches the speed of light, and that time slows as one nears light speed?”

“Consider again the rubber sheet if you will Aristarch Conn. An ordinary mass vehicle pressing upon it encounters resistance. As it increases speed Newton’s principle of an equal and opposite force in opposition to any action applies. The more the speed increase the more resistance and apparent mass increases on the accelerating vehicle. Even so, while the vehicle is pressing toward the speed of light, space is stretched and the vehicle embedded within it too, while the overall quantity of space-time remains the same. One inch unit time is stretched to the length of ten units while remaining one unit. Existing within that accelerated unit allows more subjectively to be done than for someone living in an unaccelerated, stationary unit of unstretched space-time.”

“Oh, then pushing space-time itself to expand rather than a vessel pressing against it is the way to avoid increasing mass infinitely?”

“Yes Aristarch. FTL 3 is simple enough too. One in theory exploits hidden smaller dimensions that traverse the larger dimensions to shortcut the space-time between the three large space dimensions and one of time. I don’t know of anyone that has an FTL 3 technology.”

“What is a level 4 FTL technology metaphysician?”

“Aristarch, it is only understood partly in theory to me. It is said to involve cutting out a section of space-time from the Higgs field, including a sector of the Higgs field, creating a null space devoid of any tie to normal space-time and its dimensions and mass and energy, bypassing and short-circuiting gravity flowing through it to make every force go around it, then floating the detached mass and energy to another place in space-time before reattaching it.”

“What becomes of the displaced mass in the receiving space-time when the ghost field contents of null space return to the misty?”

“Your guess would be as good as mine Aristarch, it could be quite a dangerous experiment to discover what the answer is.”

“For your responses I shall have Guccibald vaporize you without torture on your return to the dungeon.”

Hitler and Indian Call Center

Definite Collusion on Synthawhim (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

McConnell Boil and Nancy Twang wallowing in a standing wave of collusion ruled Synthawhim’s vast underwater dream with iron flippers. Boil had initially been elected with promises to heat the water to a point where the world-covering ocean would begin to evaporate and eventually enable schools of subjects to return to dry land. Yet with a dozen years of global ocean warming the sea continued to become more acidic and subjects began to slowly bake in hot water. Pathetic pictures posted on the world encompassing social media pages of Fishbook agitated the masses with countless horrifying images of sores, lesions and boils from the hot acidic water.

Boil was nothing if not adaptive though. He developed a plan to attack the problem of the planet being underwater from the bottom up even while promising to evaporate problems from the top down. Incredibly large freezing units were built in the deepest chasms of the ocean floor and in time deep in the darkness of seldom seen ocean trench ice began to form on the sea floor from the bottom up. When Maxim Skumbee arrived to search for the missing FTL 2 focal point he had no choice except to get wet.

The primary global collusion administered by Boil and Twang joined subtle subterfuge with legendary straw men arguments gathered from sacred, genuinely scientifically endorsed myths made to reinforce errors of logic convenient to global campaign management specialists minoring in truth parsing designs for political economy efficiency controls. The primary collusion kept the Boil and Twang method in power and their systems design programming for the environment inertially juggernauting over opposition. Political opposition to their iron flipper management style brought the small-fish rivals to ruin; cast out of their evolution ladder niches into deeper, more turbulent and dangerous water.
