“Biden, the Manchurian Candidate”— https://pjmedia.com/columns/jonathanemord/2022/07/12/biden-the-manchurian-candidate-n1612399
Opening graf:
“No one should doubt that Joe Biden is a Manchurian Candidate. The evidence supporting that conclusion is considerable. His actions repeatedly harm American national security and benefit communist China’s quest for economic and political domination of the world….”
Alas, this is not entirely fair to Pres. No Malarkey…since he’s not the only honcho high on the hog; not the only one benefiting from China’s benificence….
(It’s also not fair since he’s not really “POTUS”, from several points of view.
…Besides, he can always tell himself that why shouldn’t he make every effort to save the world from war…and then reward himself with “a little” on the side while he’s at it…after all, who could begrudge him that?…after all he’s done for his country(TM), etc., etc…)

This is pretty OT for these parts, but perhaps a few will find it interesting.
Two days ago Levy Rozman, a YouTube chess teacher known as GothamChess, who is 26 years-old and ranked as an International Master (no small feat), announced his retirement from tournament play.
I’ve been watching his videos for about a year. He is excellent, educational and funny. At first I thought his announcement was clickbait, then it sank in. Sad.
His ambition was to reach the Grandmaster title, but his nerves wouldn’t take it:
_______________________
I am retiring from all competitive chess events. My preparation is outmatched, my calculation skills are too flawed, and most importantly my anxiety is beyond repair. I physically and emotionally cannot do it anymore. I will stick to what I do best: bringing chess to you all.
…
The last few tournaments I played, I was freezing and shaking at the board. Every inaccurate decision hurt so much more than normal. More than anything else, I wanted the games to be done. Chess can be brutal – this is why I am retiring.
Tournament chess is a rough sport. I wasn’t as far gone as Rozman, but I found tournaments hard and unpleasant. Eventually it wasn’t worth it to me. I still love chess. I continue to study it as I do math and literature. I might someday return to tournaments, but if I don’t, I don’t worry about it.
I have just noted that it seems the gap between Dems and Rep in the mid terms is closing. I thought the Right was celebrating well before the votes have been counted. We will know the results sometime after mid Nov.
The viral story about the 10-year-old needing an abortion appears to be true. There are still questions about timing of reports and whether she actually needed to be taken out of Ohio for an abortion; it seems to me a child that young is at medical risk by definition. Expect the story to drop out of the leftist news, because the confessed rapist is an illegal alien:
huxley, I appreciate your mention of that. I just realized I’ve not played a rated game in five years now – shocking that so much time has passed. I’ve never met IM Rozman, but I can certainly relate somewhat to his reasons.
(Anything new and exciting in Najdorf theory?)
Kate:
It may be true. There may have been a 10 year old child that was raped in Ohio. DNA evidence would be needed, and there are still a lot of details to be sussed out. Time will tell?

I’m impressed you’ve played a rated game in the last five years! (USCF?)
I’ve played some chess.com rated games in the Slow Chess division, but USCF is the real stuff in my mind.
Couldn’t tell you anything new about the Najdorf. It’s still popular and more frighteningly booked than ever.
It does appear the Ruy Lopez has lost its edge for White since Kramnik successfully used the Berlin Wall for draws against Kasparov in 2000.
The super neural network chess programs seem to have validated that judgment. The neural net programs prefer queen pawn openings or 1. Nf3 over 1. e4.
The Catalan is popular since the Wojo’s Weapons series came out and the programs like the Catalan too.
