Much of my passion for WLA comes from my own experience in the arts legal clinic. The arts legal clinic was one of the absolute best classes I took in all of law school.  In the clinic we advised artist weekly on questions they bring to the clinic.  We received the legal questions a few days in advance and then would spend hours researching the problems. Then on Thursday evening we would meet with the clients in person and answer their questions.  These evening sessions were very intense, exciting and incredibly useful. Helping people with real problems is incredibly powerful. I strongly recommend taking clinical classes that include direct client interaction.

Note to get in you need to call me: here is my VOIP number it will send me an email and I can send someone down to open the door: (206) 395-6094. You can also text me for other ways to get in that do not include pretending to be a DJ. I also have faith in my friends ability to socially engineer their way into the building.

White to Move

The answer explained move by move is after the cut.

Here is how my thinking went:

Step 1: Why did my opponent move the Knight to e5? Black is being attached and is up a piece.  He wants to exchange queens and get rid of some of the pressure.

Down a piece with my opponents king in the center I need to look for a tactical win and avoid simplification.

Step 2: Look for targets The black king is in the center and an ideal target sing the black pieces are not well coordinated.

Step 3: Check the checks.  Start with the strongest piece  and the closest checks to the king.

• 1. Qe8+ is bad it plays into blacks simplification plan
• 1. Qf7 + drops the Queen for nothing
• 1. Qe5+ ! Black has to responses fxe and Kd8 calculate both lines
• 1. … Kd8 gives back the piece and lets the attack continue with Qa5+ K d8 2. Nxc6 + This is where I stopped calculating.   I probably should have continued with 2. … dxc6 3. Be6+  Qe6 4. R d8 or Qd8 mate and 2. … Bxc6 3. Qxa6. that attack continues with extra pawns for white.  In retrospect this line is a tougher defense for black.
• 1. … fxe white has 3  checks Bg5, Nf5 and Nc6
• Nf5 allow the king to move to escape to d8 and get out of danger
• Nxc6  as both knight captures allow for Bg5 mate, but black is not required to take  the knight.  K f6 might look scarey but it controls g5 and opens up the f8 bishop.  (Remember white is down a queen we need more then threats we  need a concrete finish)
• 2. Bg5+ the King only has one option K d6
• Now white has lots of checks due to the fact that any knight move leads to check from the d1 rook (the bishop check on e7 is clearly bad as it can be taken by the king and we just played Bg5 to force him away from e7)
• Now we need to find the best knight move.  When calculating for mate it helps to look at the 8 squares around the king and see which ones are escape squares.   The only squares that are not controlled by white or occupied by black pieces are c7 and c5. This makes finding the final move easier.
• First I checked Nb5 controlling b5, but then notice c5
• Second I checked Ne6! controlling both c5 and c7  mate (note the king can not take the knight because the b3 bishop controls e6)

Final position:

here is the problem source code from Chess.com:

As some of you know. I have about a quarter of a million dollars (yes 230k) in student debt. The IBR is essential to me and my family. The monthly payments are manageable. If I continue to work in the NPO area, which I plan to because I love it here and I love the impact I can make, the benefit will equal about $25k a year in forgiveness. Without this program, I could not work for the great nonprofit I work at.

If you have any questions about this program please feel free to ping me. I went to law school to work on human rights and technology issues, the IBR option was one of the things that made my career path possible. I hope that it will enable others to use their law skills for social good.

We need a techie geek with a passion for access to justice.  This position is located in Montana.

many of the concerns raised in the objections would be ameliorated if the ASA were converted from an opt-out settlement to an opt-in settlement. (See, e.q., DOJ SO1 23, ECF No. 922; Internet Archive Mem. 10, ECF No. 811). I urge the parties to consider revising the ASA accordingly.

Full PDF of Judge Chin’s ruling is here here. This is a large win for EPIC and Internet Archive whose friend of the court briefs were clearly influential.

The TOS page gives the same 404. Hmmm maybe internet archive can save the day. Back to grading papers.

Update: internet archive has the link going to http://icanhascheezburger.com/privacy-policy/, that page is 404ing also.

Update: finally found the policy at http://corp.cheezburger.com/legal/privacy-policy/
