Those $ bits are Numeric Annotations. $4 is your basic ??, the "what the fuck that's a horrible move."" $9 corresponds to "Worst Move." That is literally, of the 2 moves the CPU had, the worst move it could have done. It might as well just have resigned. The game literally just ended with 21. Qe8#. There was *nothing* that the CPU could have done from 20...Ka8.

So, we have 3...Qxd2+??, the computer literally just charging it's queen forward. That was *immediately* followed by 4. Bxd2. Later, we got the similar 11...Rd1+?? which was followed by a simple 12. Kxd1. But the worst one was 20. Qxe5+ Ka8??, when there were pawns on a7 and b7. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! I literally have it notated in PGN "Ka8$4$9"

So, I've been playing around with various scoresheet/notating systems for various sports/games lately (things like Portable Game Notation for chess or Project Scoresheet for baseball), and I've been actually using them to learn them. So, like, I used Project Scoresheet to score RTGame playing Wii Sports Baseball and I've started putting his chess matches in clubhouse games into PGN, and I just wanna share a little of how bad that game's "normal" AI is.

Though, in seriousness, this is probably one of those times when the "typically" kicks in. Given that he's president, Trump condition wouldn't *necessarily* need to be critical for helicopter to be the preferred mode of transport. It could be protocol to transport a president by air. Or Trump might've just wanted to ride in the helicopter. That said, this isn't to say that his condition *isn't* critical either. Until we get more details, we really don't know.

This is *totally* apropos of nothing. It has *nothing* to do with the fact that the president has been transported by air to a hospital after testing positive for COVID. It's just a random fun fact for you. 😇

Emergency medicine fun fact of the day: We typically only use helicopters for transport if things are *really* bad. We're talking "we can't get the to the hospital fast enough by ambulance and they need to be at the hospital ASAP or they'll die" bad. You know, like a car crash victim in need of a level I trauma center 30 miles away. It usually has to be really bad for a helicopter to get used.

I really really really wanna zigazig WAH

I'm currently updating my Win7 hard drive to Win10 Enterprise and it has been hell. When I'm back on Linux, expect a blog post bitching about Windows and trying to redefine "user friendly"
