General Thread v2: Enhanced Segregation Techniques!

[Willemshaven]

During the Minecraft Summer Festival 2023, Kanaken (Kanata, Chloe, and AZKi) ran into diamond debt for Neko Neko Finance. They made a deal to record a ASMR scenario for Pekora, who won big, to get her to pay of their debt.


Six months later, the ASMR got delivered. [Standalone]


Kanata, Chloe, and AZKi also made a paid ASMR voice pack and gave one to Pekora.

18. f4+ Kf6 Well, basically, there are many long forced mate sequences each move until move 24

21. Kc3 Rb6

0-1

Accuracy (according to chess.com): 33.5 - 25.8

Miko would've had a simple winning endgame after queening (mate in 10, actually) and having the option to win Fubuki's rook by force (e.g., 54. b8=Q+ Kf7 55. Qc7+ Kf6 56. Qxg7+). However, with under 30 seconds on the clock and no time increment to Fubuki's 1 minute and 39 seconds, it's unlikely that Miko could have checkmated Fubuki before running out of time.

This was a decent game for first-time players! I think Fubuki showed some good intuition. She played many moves with tempo by checking Miko's vulnerable king and quickly took free pieces when she spotted them. I could be reading too much into it, but I especially liked 16... Qd6 even though it's objectively an inaccuracy because it was a noncheck that brought the queen to a more active square and tightened the mating net around Miko's king. She really went after Miko's king all game.

1/2-1/2 | Mirishira Chess 2023 / The Outlast Trials / 29 Dec 2023 | Round: 2
1. d4 e6 Miko learns to push her pawns forward instead of her king
2. e4 h5
3. f4 h4 Miko proceeds to push all her pawns like a maniac
4. g4 g6
5. Nh3 c5

10. Rf1 Rg8
11. Nxe6 fxe6 Miko blunders knight :O
12. Be3 dxe3 Miko blunders bishop
13. Nc3 e2
14. Kxe2!! d5 Miko once again plays the Delayed Bongcloud and powers up by destroying foolish mongrel
15. exd5 b6
16. dxe6 g5? Fubuki's king becomes very open to attacks on kingside (many crushing attacks available)
17. fxg5 Rxg5 This isn't the first time they've seen a pawn capture, but you know what, maybe it is
18. Bxh3 Rd5 Miko misses mate in 6 starting with 18. Rxf8+. Instead, Fubuki blunders rook

36. Ke2 Rh2+
37. Kd3 Nc6

39. Kxd4 Rh5 It is not possible to checkmate a lone king with only rook and bishop, so Fubuki's king needs to help
40. Kc3 Bf6+
41. Kd2 Rh2+ Fubuki is clearly enjoying Miko's suffering
42. Kd3 Rh3+

49. Kb6 Re6+
50. Kb7 Ke8
51. Kc8 Rc6+
52. Kb7 Bd8 Fubuki blunders rook, but Miko misses it
53. Ka7 Rb6! With Miko's king fully boxed in, all Fubuki needs to do is bring her king up to finish the job
54. Ka8 Bc7
55. Ka7 Rb8
56. Ka6 Ra8+ It is against FIDE's Anti-Cheating Regulations to accept bribes, presumably even if the bribe is a country
57. Kb7 Rb8+ Fubuki blunders bishop by fork, but it shouldn't matter because the endgame is still winning for her
58. Kxc7 Rd8

60. Kc7 Re8
61. Kd7 Kg8 Fubuki blunders rook
62. Kxe8 draw by insufficient material
1/2-1/2

Accuracy (according to chess.com): 50.5 - 47.7

Fubuki still had 1 minute and 35 seconds on the clock on her last move, so it's possible (but unlikely) that she had enough time to figure out how to win. Miko drew this game by using her big brain to exert a massive amount of pressure against Fubuki's feeble mind, rendering her incapable of performing the necessary calculations. If you (yeah, you, the one reading this!) don't know the King and Rook Mate, take just 2 minutes to look up a video, and you'll be able to do it.

This game started well, but they both focused too much on their pawns instead of developing the rest of their pieces. Miko learned her lesson from the first game and did not bring out her king too early, which prevented Fubuki from using her strength of moving with tempo. Fubuki's rook movement was good until she took all of Miko's pieces, after which Fubuki's instinct to constantly check Miko's king backfired because it made her unable to use the rook to effectively box in the king for the checkmate. This was truly an intense game.

Time​

Sayu talks about failing to reconcile with people (likely Rainbow Retirees.),and requests for people to stop lumping her with them because they might not be her friends (Specifically Kyo I imagine for obvious reasons but obviously she can't be specific)
Clip from Niji L thread

Summary of something interesting from the Sayu vod that finally went up

Sayu is saddened by people constantly comparing her to other people (rainbow retirees probably specifically Doki) when she sees "support Sayu and X" it hurts because X might not be her friend(Kyo for an obvious one). She's fine with people supporting X she just doesn't like seeing her name lumped with them. She appreciates LM not mentioning anyone else in comparison to her in the gag contract stream (Doki) she doesn't like her pain compared to others and others probably don't like it either, she doesn't have anything to do with them (aside from sharing a company in the past) until she does and maybe she never will.

"There was a lot of people I was hoping you know we could reconcile. We could be ok later down the road (rainbow Retirees) but that hasn't happened pretty much at all...so that other place was never my home I don't think I ever really had friends there at the end of the day. So it's unfortunate, but that is the way it is now"
it seems she feels ostracized from even the Retirees. I really hope Doki reaches out cause it sucks seeing Sayu feel like this
I'll clip all this later today and upload it tomorrow premiere it at noon
