Chess Blitz #11 - Introducing the Pincer Attack

This video introduces an opening system I have been working on creating. I call it the Pincer Attack. I go through some live games in this video, and will make a follow up video going over a main line I have created by going through engine analysis. For a Christmas video I will be posting next week, I would like to have pictures of my subscribers in it. Email me pictures of you, your friends or family, or even your chess club to jrobichess@gmail.com History of the Pincer Attack: While I was looking up military strategies I came across mention of the Pincer Attack. The general goal of the strategy is to somewhat attack in the center, and flank your opponent on both sides. I came up with a position with white that I felt could accomplish this, and then placed it into Rybka and let it play itself for a series of 3 minute games. The primary result were draws, with occassional wins from black and white. This tells me the structure is solid when considering human play. I am putting this concept out to my subscribers to collaborate on possible lines and ideas around the Pincer Attack opening.

Nuclear Preparation and Attack Survival Film: Warning Red

thefilmarchive.org A mushroom cloud is a distinctive pyrocumulus mushroom-shaped cloud of condensed water vapor or debris resulting from a very large explosion. They are most commonly associated with nuclear explosions, but any sufficiently large blast will produce the same sort of effect. They can be caused by powerful conventional weapons like the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb. Volcano eruptions and impact events can produce natural mushroom clouds. Mushroom clouds form as a result of the sudden formation of a large mass of hot, low-density gases near the ground creating a Rayleigh--Taylor instability. The mass of gas rises rapidly, resulting in turbulent vortices curling downward around its edges, forming a vortex ring and drawing up a column of additional smoke and debris in the center to form its "stem". The mass of gas eventually reaches an altitude where it is no longer of lower density than the surrounding air and disperses, the debris drawn upward from the ground scattering and drifting back down. Although the term itself appears to have been coined at the start of the 1950s, mushroom clouds generated by explosions were being described before the atomic era. For instance, The Times published a report on 1 October 1937 of a Japanese attack on Shanghai in China which generated "a great mushroom of smoke". During World War II, descriptions of mushroom clouds were relatively common. The atomic bomb cloud over Nagasaki, Japan was described in The Times of ...
