that she's gonna she's gonna actually win um but uh but black will need probably a few accurate moves yes yes and what did bobby play let's see he did play f5 yeah he did play f5 yeah it feels like that one will end in a draw okay but that's still not bad at all uh so what what other games well we've got mamadzada actually i i feel it's so good knight has to be a little bit careful now her position is getting a little out of control here or is it hold on she's got um okay if she trades can he go knight takes d4 wow that's his idea isn't it i didn't see that coming and if queen d3 i can take on e8 and the point is i've got a background mate oh you've got queen's hg6 but it doesn't matter i just go king f8 hmm nice tactics thanks but i guess that was his idea because you don't play knight e7 you don't play knight f5 if i can take well even even this sorry i should say that even this is fine for black of course because i can take on d4 well i was hoping to play knight e2 instead of knight g6 and try to hold like oh you want to hold yeah sure but yeah i think white why just looking to hold here the end game definitely because okay the pawn on d4 is weak the bishop on g3 will take some time to get it into the game yeah and every knight e3 we have always to check yeah it's very very i felt it was just going away from her and now the question is does this work because i cover the e6 square that's kind of important what what can we do oh we've had some moves let's go there let's oh what's happened wait what queen g4 queen g4 and rook takes e3 so queen takes g6 check you just go back and after takes you just take yeah you can just take the pawn excuse me after takes you just take she did probably what she has taken will try some but i don't believe in this h4 h5 it will take too long now to get h6 on the board if i could just jump here and play h6 immediately that would be nice yeah if you could run this guy but it feels like black is better to me i mean my queen side structure feels i mean this pawn on d4 like for example if i can play queen f5 successfully or i can play even just to move like bishops bishops c392 is coming bishop p6 but even c5 might be a move to to be concerned of because a c5 yeah c5 as well yeah yeah it feels like white pieces are not doing that much against the king no no it does feel like that maybe white can try some queen h7 hoping for some 9g6 knight h8 or something along those lines yeah but not really like queen f5 knight g6 king f7 knight h8 king e6 ah queen g8 excuse me i have to go here king e7 oh i'm dropping g7 excuse me i have to go e8 but even this is queen g8 yeah okay but what is going on here bishop f8 queen f7 queen f7 let's say i go king d i'm getting mated on c7 oh no but i can go bishop e7 here hold on i've got i got stuff but i have bishop f2 i believe knight g4 knight g4 i got i got stuff i've got stuff this he's only got 30 seconds as well by the way which is incredible really yeah but yeah somehow the game took a very wild turn from what seemed like a very calm position yeah it really did yeah and we've got a result and it is a draw in bobby chain versus stefan over yeah that's that's to be expected all right so i don't know what's going on here but we do have f takes e3 on the board so expecting hussain to to play knight takes e3 um he can still lose that position of course yeah interesting uh how many more moves do they have till the time control uh in this game about 10 no sorry five so they're very close i would like to go back to this game because this is this is very exciting actually meanwhile i mean we'll quickly put on the board f f for uh fromeski she's got the dream position now rook's off the board you can't attack these pawns it's three extra pass pawns effective and and the knight from d5 is controlling that c3 square so the e-point will never promote now this position is toast eric is is going to lose so actually hold on that'll be one two and iran with this i mean iran's just got an unbelievable position yeah i mean look at this this is was it a real opus or it was a and trying to recognize it but it was a yeah a main line rule opus with uh some bishop d7 ran some random rookie eight bishop d7 but it's not worked out for sabina it's been been pretty bad rook a d8 92 a very good move yeah i like this move a lot e4 great move um can also come to be three e4 you anticipate f5 as well yeah i guess sabina has to just go all in here because what else are you supposed to do yeah probably f5 yeah he should he should just from a practical point of view go f5 now probably you just go knight b3 why not yeah the problem is that black cannot really advance both pawns in one move no so if f4 queen e4 if e4 then okay well if e4 you can just um maybe already c4 is c4 i quite like the move queen d2 as well trying to come to d5 yeah yeah it feels like those pawns haven't achieved so much now this looks completely toast for sabina i mean he should be very concerned very surprising sabina brinella rated 2492 wow he was 26 30 a few years ago he did yeah so he's had a real difficult few few years it seems many of us did sorry many of us did many of us did yeah tell me about it i'm part of the crew don't worry me too it's been a hard few years um okay um musichuk harrier let's quickly go there because oh well we have a weird position here where ravi has managed to trap his rook in the corner but you can't ever actually trap it yeah it's a funny it's a funny position so the rook cannot move but the knight cannot move either like it's it will be like a mutual tsuk tsvang so basically white will move the white can go c4 but where'd you put the bishop bishop e4 okay so you're confident that knight g3 doesn't work okay i believe you yeah that's the only thing you have to calculate but luckily for yeah luckily for ravi he's got rook g2 and we do have a result and eric rosin has resigned or i assume he's resigned against f roemski great result for f roemski looked like she had a difficult position some inaccuracies there by the chest youtube king or prince or however you want to call him and a great result there for the women um what do you think about this position then with ravi do you think this is just holding and just there's just not because after c4 bishop e4 the the pawn you never really i mean the king can always come to d7 yeah this is bishop e3 can come right this is what i don't like actually about white's position is that after say king d7 bishop d3 you might drop that point on h2 yes yes actually you have to be a bit ah but maybe there's some repetition i know there is no repetition no king g2 i can take on f1 this is uh yeah this is very very dangerous um um very very very dangerous unless we miss something here for for white but yeah i also don't see how ah wait i have an idea no but it what's your idea rook c3 maybe with the idea to play no that cannot rook c3 to play rook h3 somehow and defend the h2 pawn and then away with the knight rook c3 rook that's wow rook c wow maybe i don't believe it somehow it feels weird but yeah it it does i have to agree but i but but but hold on but why not it might be okay but it seems like the only way to free the knight from f1 exactly yeah unclear well let's see uh maria gonna have a think here about what to do uh meanwhile yep pia pia knight e5 she played a4 she wants to go a5 i assume well yeah then bishop c7 and then maybe some queens no queen c5 no queen c5 is too early it's strange okay billow plays very natural move a6 to keep his options open i still feel like black is just solid enough to to try and hold this position yeah yeah but uh like you said before it is a risk-free position for white yes for sure i'm very curious let's see if Irene can actually convert this massive advantage to queen f7 so pretty much what we were saying yeah now black wants to play probably some knight c4 no or f4 or f4 yeah f4 yeah bishop c1 is probably a classy move here uh there we go bishop c1 what about g5 now no no no no but you you have to get tempted to take it i don't know how good it is i would be very tempted to take this but also at the same time i would be annoyed that i have to give up a piece yeah i can play probably bishop g7 after taking everything yeah takes takes takes bishop g7 uh d7 doesn't work i will just take everything you just take everything no problem materialistic world yeah um well so iran will have to do something about anyway f4 is not such a dangerous threat i hope ah actually it is because after queen g4 there is 95 and yeah yeah and she played g5 yeah yeah no this is critical now now he's getting a bit more confident something went wrong what how did this go wrong for Irene because she had such control 92 f5 she did go knight b3 and he played a very clever move knight b knight b6 this is a very good move now allowing the queen to come yeah maybe maybe here there's something i feel it should have been possible for white to play c4 because i don't like that we didn't manage to open up the position yeah but then bishop d6 yeah no bishop d6 queen h6 it doesn't work would knight takes b4 let's say knight takes d7 and you just want to take on e5 at the end of everything so if i take take take or okay i have to doesn't feel right for white doesn't doesn't yeah maybe it doesn't feel right somehow okay let's say rook e5 because rook e5 bishop you cannot take on d6 as you'll get pinned probably 93 or something oh it's getting complicated yeah maybe we overestimated the position i don't think so i'm curious i want to cheat so bad i i'm gonna cheat i just want to get the oh yeah plus five for white your c4 is very good yeah your move c4 is very good okay so it was winning now in the current position let's go straight there um d7 she did go d7 it felt like she had to play that move at some point and by the way in this position here what happened in gunai mamad zada what's going on here looks like a draw to me that looks like a draw yeah okay good result for for uh gunai because i thought things were getting completely out of control uh yeah it seems like this is the game to watch now yeah we'll stay here for the moment because it's very interesting so d7 okay so why so if i so what's the idea if i take she played knight b7 already a knight b7 wow i completely missed this move what is what's going on here f4 queen g4 now f4 i can take sorry f4 i can take the knights the the rook so if i move the rook let's say i go here 96 96 simply this is very nice and this is a very but is this even queen d6 ah queen d6 because the h6 one will be hanging oh yeah that's a good that's that's a triple attack yeah now maybe black will have to sacred and he did already he he sacrificed he sacrificed so after knight b7 he played f4 and he just gave this up knight takes d8 and i assume he wants to go rook takes d8 right yeah yeah i think this is a good practical try unless you know what here you could do is white which looks take on f take on f4 take i'm not sure take take take and now let's say knight where should i place my knight knight f6 or b6 yeah knight f6 so i take take it rook f4 still should be good for white you would think that's actually three pawns yeah it's too many pawns yeah yeah that's that's the practical solution isn't it yeah indeed because if you go queen g4 95 you're starting to run into it feels like you're running into something i don't know it takes takes queen f5 followed by f3 and yeah just let the initiative run of course if uh iran will be able to assess correctly the position after bishop f4 white should have great chances to win she did it yeah yeah she did it very smart very very smart so bishop takes a four um does black have anything else probably no what else do you have here is black you're in exchange now and you have to take bishop g7 bishop g7 just whatever bishop c7 oh yeah and e4 is falling yeah of course you have to say he does take okay iran will take take and here i guess you just take on e4 and don't think about it for too long because you shouldn't really be thinking and she doesn't that's very well rook takes e4 and she looks very confident yeah she should be because her position is very good it's not over i wonder if sabina is going to try and find a way maybe some f3 to try to yeah at least but now i can be tricky and play a move like rookie three you want to play rook d4 yeah i want to play rook d5 but 95 sorry it's it doesn't do anything it doesn't do anything 94 no i think he will go f3 actually maybe some knight c5 takes take the point being that if you take my c5 you take and rookie a check the exchange yeah it might be a bit difficult for black to unpin yeah because actually rookie six is coming next right and if you go here i can always take you know i have a funny idea here i can play maybe even rook e2d4 okay it's not now but at some point yeah and then and then run yeah but i think iran has just got lots of oh he played a move what did he do he played knight of six immediately this isn't this what we yeah it is what we look at this yeah i mean she should just take maybe he's going to take on e4 here oops oops that's that's something we missed yeah that's what he wants to do yeah but i'm not sure how how much this changes things for example rookie eight oh but uh yeah a little bit it no it it does change things i don't know knight c5 is coming and here rook c8 might be an issue or you have 92 and 94 yeah rook rook c8 92 94 i maybe uh maybe just a3 how is this position still feels good for white yeah yeah it does yeah because i'm taking here now definitely and i protect a3 no this this has to be difficult to define this with black for sure okay nothing really going on there in ravi ravi has got his right she did she played your move well done she played your move she brought the rook round in a very unusual manner and the king that's what i was thinking the king comes to g7 and just oh and rook c1 that's a classy move that's a really nice move by ravi now he's out but okay rook c5 rook c5 and the bishop has to go to a6 yeah i can play c4 now maybe it still feels like you can't win this position somehow and you know the funny thing is that i i think the best here for black is to go back with the king with the rook king of eight because now if you go after h5 i can take on c4 no let's have a look what's happening oh no we just have a draw somewhere so something happened so rook a5 happened so they they shook hands so something has just happened so rook a5 so what did he do here to force the draw i'm very curious what what happened here not sure what happened here oh yeah they agreed for a draw but i don't know the last moves very unusual it's they somehow traded the the bishop came off did he go bishop d5 and she just took and said sorry takes i take here check and that's what happened something like this and they agreed to draw here right yeah no but bishop d5 is a very good move yes now ravi played this very well to make a draw like this this was this was really this was really really good yeah but we should not forget that all women have white today so it was natural that they press oh by the way yuvanka did not survive at all she didn't even come close to surviving yuvanka didn't even couldn't even fight this one oh she went into the pawn ending well i mean it was probably losing anyways but yeah she she she didn't ah because he's winning pawns yeah it didn't feel like she was going to hold today to be honest yeah and okay so one win for the guys and actually that means that we only have two games left we have this uh irin tsukunda and pia kramling game and in both games the women have got basically superior positions yeah so it could be a blowout day it could be like a plus three or plus four day for the women today yeah there's a big chance for that big chance yeah and i think pia will uh try to nurture this extra pawn for a very long time and bilal will have to suffer for the draw here well yeah it's uh it's great great and you can see bilal there is kind of uh he's not in enjoying himself is he definitely but he's not having a terrible time the problem is that now uh black has to trade rooks and then another part of black's counter play will be gone let's say queen but where to place it queen d d7 queen d7 rook e7 let's say even the rook no rook e5 no no rook e5 makes sense you think yeah why not i like rook e5 no this is this is just uh and after rook takes e5 we take with the knight you can take with it but i was thinking can you take why we probably can take with the pawn but again now but now it's no longer a past one no maybe it could be knight takes and there's some problems with the b7 pawn actually you can't hold yeah that's immediately losing actually right you can't hold you can't hold b7 and d5 some queen e6 queen b7 bishop d4 no actually here after queen e6 i don't think we have to take one b7 no because we give up we give up d4 and there's no way to explore that okay but even some bishop c3 let's say the bishop is not doing much and a5 can i take oops i don't i don't i don't know no it's okay can you trick me no i didn't trick you king f1 you're okay yeah but oh no i can take i can take on d4 i did trick you oh i did trick you yeah i tricked you okay so that means that maybe rook e7 is better after all yeah maybe just rook e7 97 and if 95 queen d5 holds it's still not easy hard to win this position i'm not sure i mean i will trade the queens play knight f3 and then come with the king oh you just you oops you just want to trade take take knight f3 come with the king it's just just a healthy pawn so he played queen c6 he played queen c6 okay queen c6 and they've got extra time now because it's after move 40 this bishop looks a bit stupid out here wait but he can't avoid this variation right like rook 797 95 he has to go queen d5 maybe queen c1 king h2 queen f4 oh that's nasty yeah maybe that's why he played queen c6 that's what he wants that's what that's what he wants oops and it was played actually yeah or not no no not yet he wasn't played yet so all right and in the other game wow we she did basically do this rook a8 and she played a3 yeah this this is the professional way to play she took on a6 95 94 and knight c4 does black have any chances to hold this one there might be some tricks of course there are there are always chances of course in such in such endings but maybe i want to play bishop g7 to try to sort of destabilize that knight knight f5 i immediately knight f5 i could go knight f5 immediately or but it feels maybe it can be a bit trapped there yeah okay you always have knight h4 but it's not what what you really want to do all right well look i think there's a bit more game here and in the other remaining game so we've had eight results so far we've got a uh the the the women are winning by a point so they're plus one for today with two games to go and it looks as though sucunda's got a commanding position and it looks as though pier also has got some chances to try and grind something out we're going to go for an interview now with some of the finished players and we'll be back for the remainder of the round so stay tuned and welcome back to the inaugural battle of the sexes chevening and tournament live from the garrison library here in gibraltar it's round one and we've had nine results coming in fast and furious and it's been a day for the ladies so far absolutely great performance by uh the women's team who uh all had white today and so far you can see irine sucunda has just had a fantastic result beating sabina brunello what a great result for her uh winning with the white pieces there uh always in control it looked like and played a very nice game uh olga gearia as you saw in the interview as well had a great game against joe gallagher efroimsky beat eric rosin in a very messy game yuvanka huska the only casualty so far for the ladies and she will be the only casualty most likely because there's only one game remaining um arena and that's the game between pier cramling and bilal belhasine and uh well we have the position on the board where pier cramling is a pawn up but is it enough to win that's the question i think it might be just just enough well actually it looks very much like the line we discussed that's true with details e5 but once again the problem is that the bishop is better when there are points on two flanks yes but uh well there are still queens on the board and maybe bilal can find some tricks because we know that the queen and the knight work very well together actually this move already queen c7 is a bit of a problem for pier is it not because am i not just threatening to take on e5 now you are actually so queen c7 and now i'm threatening takes the point is let's just say i put a move on the board king let's say i play the move g3 just to illustrate i can take and the point is if you take take and then take on b7 i have the move queen takes a five and we have a an immediate draw yeah we cannot afford giving up that point but how to do that oh sorry i should do it down here sorry i beg your pardon this is the analysis board excuse me i'm saying here after queen c7 if what oops blundering everything if white plays any move i can just take take take and the point is i'm threatening this pawn so after this this we have a draw so the question is how do you save this pawn the problem is if you go f4 you really weaken your king yeah after queen c5 queen c5 king h2 even here it's not sorry i can take here uh no i can't okay still i mean take take take take but i have check and here right queen d2 let's say yeah check king h7 check even this might not be enough for a win yeah b3 queen e3 b3 queen e3 yeah yeah this this looks uh this looks actually very very difficult oh look she played queen a4 and now it's not possible to take on e5 because of queen e8 that's a very clever move queen a4 right and queen a8 is coming anyway and if i go king h7 i don't know um wow that's a that's a very tricky move by pia okay king h7 let's say queen a8 knight takes a5 knight takes a5 yeah bishop takes queen takes and queen takes f7 queen e1 check yeah yeah that's that's that's that's an immediate draw actually hold on okay i should have a perpetual you have a perpetual yeah you you don't no there is g6 i know there's g6 there's g6 and queen g7 and all of a sudden you probably lose this position oh god i hope that doesn't happen because that that's a sort of accident that sometimes can happen um so what would be then the move after king h7 so king h oops so queen a4 king h7 maybe there is no move ah no there's queen e4 check so if i go b3 but you can just say you just have 96 and you're okay right yeah yeah yeah yeah king h7 feels like the move doesn't it ah unless there is some sort of queen c2 check yeah there is queen c2 and then i pin you i can play some bishop d4 hold on a second here uh what's going on what have i okay so king h7 queen c2 i had queen c2 check and bishop d4 and you pin me yeah wow that's nasty okay maybe it's not the end of the world like queen c6 queen c6 and i'm threatening this but no okay yeah black has the hold of the light squares and let's say if i play b4 maybe you can even take on e5 yeah so maybe after all black has just enough to save this game it feels like it as well doesn't it yeah actually feels like it oh he played a different move he played queen c8 queen so queen c2 queen c uh no no yeah after queen a4 ah queen a4 he played queen c8 here okay also makes sense but now there's no pressure on the e5 pawn what happens after b3 did i miss something no what what is this hold on wait did he just blunder a piece no he's gonna go knight e3 but it looks can it can it be like okay you want queen c1 knight f1 so i have to play bishop no i can actually play some queen queen you can play queen d4 knight f5 and the game continues right and no but it feels like here what has uh at least some chances yeah yeah so b3 why can't she play b3 why can't she play b3 okay knight knight b6 or knight e3 a knight e3 looks better but it is suddenly the only move incredible incredible and it's a draw there you know like if i take on e3 and you take on c3 in this yeah so here takes queen a8 king h7 i take oops and you take all the pawns and i take all the pawns check something like this oops sorry should should be a draw somehow maybe you can even just go b4 immediately and yeah you never win this position uh i still feel like it's gonna be a draw somehow i have to say i i and they've got 15 minutes and 13 minutes left so um so that's something right uh what else how can white be tricky here that's a good question that's a good question unfortunately i would love to pin this knight but i don't have time for it queen c8 bishop maybe bishop d4 bishop d4 with the idea of playing queen c2 maybe yeah somehow this pawn was better when it was a free pawn on d4 yeah exactly you know it has difficulties to advance but i mean just in general i mean just let me put a questions oh no because b3 she's going queen to d1 immediately sorry queen a4 queen c8 queen to d1 ah that's a very good move she wants to bring it to d5 that's the best square for the queen on the board but he will probably not allow it yeah he can go queen e6 here for example right or even can he play queen c5 now queen c5 back feels wrong but it could be okay just to try to attack both pawns queen c5 back home could be okay could actually be okay yeah i believe black will save it but i wanted to ask you how would you assess this position with queen soft the board yeah i was thinking that um still feels though the black should have some good chances but with pawns on both sides it's one of those where it instinctively you say oh you get the blockade on the light squares but if the king is not active enough if this white king ends on g e4 g4 f4 f5 comes it's very unpleasant all right i'm not sure i'm not sure it's so holdable actually i'm i'm not convinced yeah because also the knight on c4 is a bit strange if the knight would be on c6 yeah then probably still somehow very interestingly the knight has very little squares i believe to maneuver around so at some point let's let's imagine just the black king on e6 white king on e4 okay we're gonna have to imagine this one okay yeah okay yes and let's say white plays then f4 g4 and black keeps g6 how can i put the knight to stop f5 only on e7 but that leaves us with no moves exactly i know this is probably for people who are trying to envisage this we're just thinking of an end game but even the end games with the queen offs but basically what we're saying is it it looks extremely difficult actually yeah it looks very difficult so i don't think he's gonna play queen c5 here i just have the impression that he's not gonna play that move try something but queen d5 is a very unpleasant threat so he will have to take probably the square away from white queen so what if i go queen e6 let's just this is for me the most natural move in the position queen d8 check let's say first and queen d4 okay yeah let's say queen d4 now b3 b3 knight a3 knight a3 and knight b5 would come but okay queen e4 check there are some threats yeah maybe the queen is better on c6 than e6 that's another i was thinking is this better here but now there's no threat and now you can go queen d4 anyway and e6 is oops sorry e6 is suddenly a yeah e6 is actually a serious threat here all of a sudden yeah somehow the knight is stuck on c4 black has to be a bit careful here yeah i have found a funny variation show me after queen c5 yes queen d8 check yes king h7 yes queen d3 yes king g8 yes and now b3 with the idea that knight a5 before beautiful yes and if i go here queen d8 oh wait we've landed i had the idea to play queen d8 check and queen a5 yeah you had a bit of diagonal blindness which i did this also no that doesn't work then yeah that doesn't work it seems um but maybe she can find some geometry here because i really don't like that this knight on c4 doesn't have any moves yeah that's that's the big problem so if this in this position here if the if the knight was on like a better route let's say the knight was on c6 then i think it would be just a draw right okay that makes a lot of sense because also the knight from c6 covers d8 so you don't have to worry about those intermediate checks let's see how uh bilal will play yeah sometimes you can forget about this intermediate checks you can absolutely yeah it's very very very uh difficult here isn't it um yeah this knight on c4 is is is bilal's big problem it's just on the wrong route as we say and uh it's it's kind of suffering i'm still going for my queen c5 i would say that you think he'll go queen c5 yeah he's in the tank i mean he's spent a long time here it's already seven or eight minutes yeah if he will delay too much uh deciding on the move in time trouble missing those intermediate checks it's very easy yeah very easy to blunder suddenly i i think he tries to he's trying to find a direct way you know like a forced way to to get the draw because otherwise uh spending so much time it's difficult to force it here because you have no that you you have no uh what's the word like leave it there's there's no break or there's no combination where you can't you can't you can't actually force it and yeah this knight on c4 is incredibly bad i had an idea but it doesn't work i was thinking maybe some queen f5 so that after queen d5 we have some queen f4 and try to make a perpetual but then there is maybe bishop d4 and then queen c1 king h2 queen f4 g3 so you want to so so how do i do that so queen f5 uh wrong board oh yeah sorry queen f5 queen d5 yeah queen f4 now yeah sorry let me let me go back here because that that's not actually the correct board so queen f5 queen d5 queen f4 yeah to try to somehow play queen c1 and makes a lot of sense makes a hell of a lot of sense actually very nice and now let's say bishop d4 and now you can but now at least the knight is on a 92 bishop e3 is winning this also loses but probably after bishop d4 there is queen c1 king h2 and knight takes b2 no i'm not sure how is that bishop d4 queen c1 king h2 can we take one b2 or is it take some feels wrong to me feels like we're getting too far away yeah oh no sorry i've got to be careful because you have queen f4 uh but maybe you don't even this is queen f4 g3 e6 feels close to bad queen f4 g3 no no it's bad yeah and if i take i guess i take no it's just it's just gonna be queen f5 yeah queen f5 because you can't you can't also block so just thing like this oh sorry let me queen g4 i mean eventually you're gonna get mated because you can't you can't protect the knight and mate yeah eventually it's just mate yeah so i simply don't find another good i mean another move which uh doesn't get in trouble immediately i mean i think queen c5 should be it but maybe maybe belayl has some other idea but meanwhile he has gone to less than five minutes on the clock incredible just incredible yeah i can't find a move and he he's now spent 10 minutes on this move and he's really having problems as well basically finding a construction here yeah from the human point of view it's not so easy when you have to defend for the whole game so he's upon down since move 20 and it feels like it should be enough for a draw but still you have to be very precise move by move by move yeah and he's just not finding it now down to four minutes i mean he's and pia playing a masterclass here with the white pieces just and b6 so he does find try for the forcing but what is this move why can't i take take queen d4 and e6 what's going on here or queen d4 immediately b a5 e6 i still have queen e6 there okay queen d4 queen e6 take and he's holding everything yeah he found or at least he tried to find a way to solve the knight's problem yeah seems like seems like a good try but okay let's see maybe maybe maybe it takes knight takes it takes takes queen d4 you want to go queen e6 oh wait i understand now queen d4 immediately that's what i was thinking yeah and queen e6 anyway you have this yeah anyway queen e6 but i mean can i start i mean can i do this you want a five yeah i just want to go f5 so like if you take i go f5 i know this looks crazy but i take e6 can it work no it's queen c5 you just i just take an e7 yeah yeah yeah that's queen c5 i can just take take e7 and i'm making you queen this is what my god tells me f4 here yeah well she will have to work out how to how to make this mating ideas dangerous because now they are definitely in the air but also maybe there can be some transition to an end game now a takes b6 knight b6 queen g4 where sorry immediately after b6 a takes knight takes and queen g4 queen g4 it might be more difficult here to draw this end game queen e6 maybe anyways and now your move now f4 f4 g6 knight d5 coming next yeah it's not a direct win definitely no but it feels like i don't trust this move i don't trust it i can't tell you exactly why but i don't trust it yeah so maybe your variation with f4 is the best try for white let's so let's try to look into it so so here uh no queen d4 immediately yeah okay so queen d4 queen e6 and just f4 now of course i can take and go f4 which is there was a reason why i didn't do it but then knight d5 and then f5 anyways so if takes takes i can also go f4 like this but i was thinking of g6 i mean i just want to go for it with g4 really and now the knight is hanging yeah sorry g4 knight again they want to play knight d5 f5 well knight d5 f5 so one idea is to go knight d5 f5 takes takes queen b6 but this ending is bad this is bad this is really bad this is losing this this king just runs and you got a weakness and no that you you never hold this so we're saying queen d4 is the move we want to play huh i guess it looks looks correct to me yes somehow b6 looked looked like a good try to free the knight from c4 but the mating idea is probably below missed them yeah and pia she's thinking and she's she it's it's correct for her to think at the moment as well right this is this is good this is this is good yeah um and he's also gone to four minutes on the clock pia still has 10 minutes yeah what else can she i'm not really sure i mean well she can consider ab6 or queen d4 but i don't see any other move that really makes sense to be honest yeah because otherwise your queen g4 move only but i wasn't uh you can't do that not immediately can you because what do you mean just to show you for out of interest queen g4 let's say you take take if you go b a5 i can probably go b3 and take the a pawn and it's better for white and if you take here i was just curious if this ending is just winning for white which it is of course yeah it is because after g5 when let's say at some point you will always have at least g3 yeah or g3 yeah exactly or if you ever go g5 but mostly i have f5 right yeah so even queen g4 here you have to consider so it's queen d4 queen g4 white queen g4 could be genius huh because if you go queen e6 now i can take take uh yeah take take and now b3 and i force knight takes a5 yeah and it's and this ending is a slightly better version but it's it's totally winning it's totally winning f4 king f7 king f2 just bring the king just bring the king yeah and then g4 g6 and just some king c4 i guess this is winning no it's definitely winning h4 h5 h4 h5 let me just h4 maybe with the king on d4 we have to be a bit accurate maybe not maybe we don't even have to be accurate because we're so fast no this is just oh okay so so actually queen g4 she played queen d4 i mean i don't blame her for that but queen g4 immediately somehow is that's a great idea yeah because forcing to go to opponent game is definitely what white would want and otherwise the knight doesn't escape from c4 so probably take on g4 h takes b takes a5 would be the only way to continue and then b3 knight b6 bishop a5 and try to win that position yeah but that's that's not also oh that's that will take some time so queen d4 queen d6 okay i know all this f4 f5 idea so she has to figure out a way queen d8 check what is that what is this move what does she want here it's tricky king h7 it takes b6 yeah so you have to take with the knight knight and then queen d3 queen a6 oh wow oh that's absolutely brilliant that's absolutely brilliant i don't see that's absolutely brilliant and if i take with the queen also queen d3 and i pick up the knight this is absolutely brilliant pier cramley yeah absolutely brilliant yeah it looks like she found a very clean way what an absolutely brilliant way actually even better than the end game because in the end game black okay it looks bad but who knows maybe it would take another 40 moves to win that end game but this i mean okay let me let me put this on the board so here let's go here here it is two pawns but this i mean yeah i mean it's but the problem is you're pinned actually yeah so you can't do anything bishop d4 is a threat yeah so it's just actually probably queen some sort of queen b3 should be the move in order not to queen b4 to trade the queens immediately but okay it looks very artificial and we are just two pawns up two pawns up yeah that's also you can maybe queen b7 pin from the other side pin queen d1 check king h2 and if knight d5 e6 and let's let's show what happens after knight c3 and knight c3 we can take on f7 and just take on c3 or e7 even or e7 or whatever e7 yeah e7 is good enough yeah oh this is a brilliant brilliant brilliant solution by pia kramlin so queen d8 check king h7 queen d she went queen d3 check first same thing yeah same thing and billel is in big trouble here basically has no moves yeah i mean you block the check you then just take on b6 i wonder if billel will actually resign that position or try and fight but it's it's very difficult to fight yeah i believe a few more moves and then billel will probably have to resign and that would mean that the the the women are up four plus three today wow i mean that's a huge result indeed huge indeed and the guys are gonna have to bounce back tomorrow somehow although that's not clear how they're gonna do that uh there they really felt the force today you feel pia is very good in these kind of positions where she has uh you know where she plays for two results yeah she's a very technical player and she loves just to try to nurture every little aspect of an advantage i experienced that on myself and not once yeah fantastic result for for the women's team and we'll see if men will be able to pressure in the same manner tomorrow when they will have that's it actually billel he's had enough he didn't even fight uh pia cramling fantastic win for the team captain of the women's team and a blowout day uh one loss four wins five draws the ladies are showing what they're made of i'm still confident in my prediction i think this is a wipeout event i think they're motivated i think they've got a good team spirit and the team captain bringing it how bringing it home immediately right uh for you know just queen d8 queen d i thought we were gonna be here for another few hours grinding an end game but nope pia has done the job yeah well what can we say uh what a first day fantastic games as well no boring games no lots of interesting dynamic positions and different openings and here are the results in full so irine's who kind of beating brunello abdu malik draw against miraria alakon uh mamadzada against aziz draw pia cramling as we just saw great win for her subag chris a nice draw musichuk haria i would say that was one of the better games from the guys today because ravi really did well to uh to draw that olga gear crushing joe gallagher stefanova also a nice result for her draw against cheng yavanka was the only game that didn't go well for the ladies today and also f roimski winning against eric rosen what can we say uh round one goes to the women no question about that they crushed them crushed the men and they are in control but the men do have the white pieces tomorrow they're gonna have to bounce back immediately if they're gonna uh not i think this is a momentum tournament as well they they don't want to fall too far behind you don't suddenly want to be eight points or 10 points behind definitely you know so it's important that they make a stand tomorrow there's only going to be one way you'll find out and that's by tuning in so please do come tomorrow and i believe that's all from us unless there's anything else you would like to discuss i think we're done here for the day uh so we're gonna log off thank you so much for everybody commenting on youtube um twitter and everything everything else tomorrow we'll try and get a few comments in on the show as well but for today that's us done thank you arena looking forward to tomorrow as well yeah i'm very much excited about it should be great fun see you tomorrow same time same place have a great evening bye


Welcome everyone to Lillian's Vegan World. I'm your host Lillian Cumick coming to you live from gorgeous downtown Honolulu. Today's show is plant-based March Challenge Progress Over Perfection and I have my gorgeous guest with me today, Sue Storfer, who has just moved to the islands, moved to Honolulu and she's my guest today on the show. A huge welcome to Sue. Aloha Sue. Aloha Lillian. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to hang out with you today. I've been looking forward to this show to be honest and bumping into you and meeting you at the farmers markets has brought you and I together for this moment in time where we're going to share some of what you're getting up to here on the island. I just did mention that you are new to the islands. You recently moved here from the mainland. How's it all going? How's your move? The move's been great although it's been a lot harder than I thought.  But overall it's been fantastic. I mean my husband and I have been visitors to the islands for more than 20 years so it's I fell in love a long time ago. The time we visited in fact it's like let's pretend we live here and so we really kind of changed the way we we walked around and one of the great finds at that time was what we called the KCC farmers market over at the community college and oh my gosh my heart just went oh look at all of this and that's when I really adopted what Hawaii was telling me even then you know grown here not flown here and so when we got the opportunity to actually pick up stakes and jump we just said you know Hawaii's going to be the place where we're going to come back to life. We're going to come back to life on the island and we're going to come here and serve and listen and honor and bring everything we've got and just live live big. That's amazing Sue and we're so glad and lucky to have you here. I also feel so blessed to be living in Hawaii it is truly for me a vegan paradise and I believe that's so much so that I named my newly released cookbook Hawaii a vegan paradise and we'll get into all the reasons why this is the perfect place to you know delve into a plant based diet but Sue I do want to introduce you and my apologies for not doing so during the introduction that you are a filmmaker and story strategist absolutely very exciting well you know it is I've been very fortunate my whole career I have worked in the TV business and was able to create like short form informational promotional videos and things both on working and you know television station working for clients working for non-profit organizations and and so that's been a great joy of mine and I've really enjoyed also actually helping formulate what those stories are because it's really important to find who you are in your core whether it's a person an organization or a project you really need to get to that truce center and once you find the truce center you can share that story with some authenticity and everybody wants to hear the real thing so my husband and I do that together and he's a brilliant storyteller in his own right and we're just thrilled to be here and and share some of the great stories that we're going to find so and I'm lucky to have you here to share your story about some something you are just entering into which is the plant-based march challenge organized by changing tides foundation and you can go over to their website which is changing tides foundation org and enroll there's still time to enroll in this this month of plant-based eating tell us about this challenge and and what what it can do for for viewers or people who are interested in starting a plant-based diet yeah the whole point of it is again we talked about this progress over perfection you know it's not really a competition it's just a challenge to get better at something get better at it so the point of the challenge is to eat as many plant-based meals as you can some people have dietary restrictions that really prevent them from going completely meatless or going without dairy completely or eggs completely but really it's about taking a step forward and being as intentional as you can and at the same time educating yourself as to some of the impacts that animal agriculture have on our world and to really understand that and honestly that was really the beginning of of my journey in stepping away from a really meat-centric diet to something that's more plant-based and so the challenge is really just a refresher for me you know sometimes we get a little off base you know we all start january and we're like i'm gonna do this and this and then we kind of go and fall back into some of our habits and then you know we wake up after valentine's day with an empty box of chocolate on our pillow and it's like okay i really i really gotta gotta get some community help so that's what changing tides is about it's it's an organization that was founded by a lovely group of ladies who shared the big beautiful mission of creating ocean health and community vitality and and equity and opportunities and that's a lot of the things that i believe in too and leah dawson's a friend of mine i've known her for a lot of years and she's one of the co-founders so when the challenge came around i was like absolutely this is just the kick that i need to get me back into a little bit more intentional way of eating and in why oh my gosh look at the choices i mean look at the choices that's interesting so um what kind of support does this organization give you if you were to enroll in the plant based diet it's already march fourth so four days into the into the challenge but still plenty of time to to log on and you know enroll and join what kind of support are they offering sure there is a guide so once you once you sign up there is a a guide book that just really gives you the skeletal outline of what you're doing and how to approach it and then they're also sending out regular emails with updates and recipes and encouragements and things like that so there is a lot of things that are going on throughout the months just to really get people to you know to keep their energy up but even in the very basics i mean really just to sign up take a look at it get the guide read through it and again give yourself permission to step as far as you can um and not really worry about the perfection of holding something absolutely tight in rules it's it's not about rules it's about becoming and involving on our journey together yes i did take a look at the uh the website it's it is very interesting i must say and i do uh journey of the viewers to go over to changingtidesfoundation.org and take a look at their web page because they are doing a lot of other very echo um conscious uh projects as well but uh sue how do you start this the number the million dollar question to me all the time is where do i start where do i start how do i start a plant-based diet so four days into this what was start from day one how do you begin well what i first of all my mindset was i really need to think about how i can change my mind about things because there was a time you know when i grew up if we didn't have meat in a meal i felt like i hadn't eaten i mean i could have eaten to the point where i couldn't put any more food in my body and yet if there had not been meat in that mix i would have said i didn't have lunch i didn't have breakfast i didn't have dinner so i really had to change my mind and that happened one day when i was having a sub and i realized that the turkey was so weft off in that i probably wouldn't i couldn't even taste it in there you know i couldn't taste it i could taste the crunchiness of the cucumbers and the juiciness of the tomatoes and the bread and yet turkey was there turkey in there i missed that so i started to realize i didn't have to have it and and then i also really thought about the fact that when i wake up in the morning i like to eat so the fact that i'm not eating eggs i had to just think well what else can i eat oh i can eat anything i want i can have rice i can have broccoli i can have sweet potatoes i can have whatever i want you know for breakfast as long as it's not eggs so really the first step is just changing your mind and and accepting the fact that you're gonna find out some new things and then one meal at a time what else can i do go to the store get some stuff you know build some armament like salads this is one of my favorite things from the farmers market if i could show you oh my gosh oh this beautiful cabbage we have learned so much about this lovely thing in fact this has been my best friend in the fact that instead of making pasta what i learned to do was to cut cabbage into little ribbons almost like little fettuccine ribbons and then use that for the basis of either an asian dinner or an Italian dinner or something like that so i started to just experiment with things and realize that man like like these little guys mushrooms oh and in fact i got i i grew these mushrooms in my house but mushrooms are a fantastic replacement for meat if you can marinate them like in teriyaki or something like that so it's really about just thinking well what do i like and and let's load up on that and meantime let's find some other things one at a time one at a time yeah you bring up an awesome point yeah there is definitely no lack of food out there if you go plant-based in fact i'm going to say that probably vegans or people on a plant-based diet eat more of a variety of ingredients than non-vegans because we do go through all the beans and lentils and legumes vegetables that people have never heard of i i guarantee not many people pick up a red cabbage or a purple cabbage often and by the way my favorite way of enjoying that is just stir-fried with a little bit of olive oil and balsamic reduction yeah chopped macadamia nuts on top yeah that crunch is incredible not to mention um red and purple foods have a lot of antioxidants so excellent for your health as well um so there are such things as vegan egg dishes i actually have to help there actually a lot yes i haven't i haven't gone down the path as as much as i can on the exploration end of it so believe me your book has been inspirational to me and i will tackle some of that stuff but it was at least in my beginning phase was what do i already like and then how can i increase that maybe even in percentages and then one step at a time you don't have to take it all on at the same time you can just get a little bit like like i love sweet potatoes guess what i found at the market here an okinawa sweet potato and it's purple on the inside it's beautiful so that led me to go hey i can do this and and and i can include it in a salad and i can so i started to experiment you know with the things i already liked and like brussel sprouts and and you know what can i do with those and so yes i promise lily and i will be following you to figure out all of those other meal stretching opportunities that i i think i think you're doing amazing so honestly what what you're pulling out we we are going to show the viewers some slides that you um you are going to share with us about food that you're creating and it is very beautiful let's look at one before the break let's have a look at what you've been cooking up see that is gorgeous explain to the viewers what it is uh i know well one of the challenges was again to replace meat so what can i do with my mushrooms what i discovered with these beautiful oyster mushrooms and you can use them with other mushrooms is that i could take olive oil and like chicken seasoning they make it with salt without salt your favorite poultry seasonings and just stir fry those those bad boys those little strips and it actually is really close to giving you the experience of chicken so what i did there was i just took some glass noodles some asian noodles because like my family loves udon and and you know bowls and then used those mushrooms instead of the chicken and then i got some great little microgreens from the farmers market here and i was able to create that which again replaced what we already love but it just substituted out one particular ingredient and you've done you've done an amazing job with it that actually has become i'm guessing also a gluten-free dish that you've used the the glass noodles um which are made from rice or a starch depending on on which ones you use some some of them are made from mung bean starch which is also gluten-free and i found some ones here that are actually made with sweet potato starch so again yeah i've really been working hard to to watch the gluten and to challenge myself because maybe i might not be as sensitive to other as other people are but i really do want to walk alongside a lot of people who are to find some really good new solutions for that so that has been a big part of my journey too so thank you and just your whole mindset that you mentioned earlier you're you're so positive about this and that's what i think people need to embrace when they're because basically changing your food patterns is just breaking old habits so once you learn how to break old habits set goals you know if you're going to try this challenge there's the goal right in front of you one month plant-based i think when you start setting goals that's when you start achieving and progressing towards you know what it is that you you want to achieve so i love the mindset and the positive attitude that you have sue we are going to take a quick break and come back with more of sue stoffer and her march challenge on a plant-based diet stay tuned welcome back to lilians vegan world i'm your host lilian cumick vegan chef and cookbook author i'm also part of the think tech hawaii team of citizen journalists and we bring forth news that's happening in and around hawaii um important stuff that you all need to know and that we love to share so welcome back to the show um i'd like to welcome back also my awesome gorgeous guest sue stoffer and you on the islands here and just beginning her march plant-based diet with the tide pardon me changing tides foundation dot org um challenge so sue welcome back thank you lilian thanks for letting me hang out with you today my pleasure sue before we go on i do want to mention to the viewers that my cookbook might help if you're interested in learning more about vegan cooking it was just released in uh november of 2020 last year it's called hawaii a vegan paradise over 120 plant-based recipes of the islands or from the islands and inspired by the islands you can buy the book um on in most stores around hawaii and on amazon uh it's also available on barns and noble you can order the book directly from the local the local publishing house mutual publishing um find me and more about what i'm getting up to on the islands at lilianvegan.com i'm also on youtube lilian vegan facebook also lilian vegan and i have an instagram account lilian vegan under bar chef hawaii so i'm doing lots of stuff and i also have my show here lilians vegan world with the gorgeous sue so let's take a look at it at some more of the food that you've been creating because this is so important we were talking before we started filming about how we do eat with our eyes and one thing i always always try to tell people i've been teaching cooking classes for about 20 years now and one thing i always tell people is make it look good put the effort into it everybody's too rushed in their lives you know i cannot fathom sitting down to a meal in my home eating on a paper plate this will never happen in my home i understand there are busy people and and all that sort of stuff but you know you also will be um leaving less of a footprint when you start thinking about what it is that you're using on a daily basis and throwing away things like paper plates plastic plastic cups plastic stores um things like that i think when you start delving more and more into a plant based diet you start to realize that there's there's a bigger picture out there other than just the food so be aware be mindful of you know what you're what you're contributing as far as your carbon footprint so talking about going back to presentation and making food look beautiful you sue are a very or i should say your husband is a very lucky man let's have a look at some more of your creations that is so beautiful that is such a simple thing one of the things i discovered when i got here and went to the farmers market and i really wanted to try everything again right i really wanted to just take a fresh idea and just try it again you know what that is that's poi that is poi that is an avocado sitting on top of poi with lemon juice and olive oil and some tahin seasoning which is a which is a seasoning blend that one of my friends who's born in mexico she gave us on the way out the door and so i i have fallen head over heels back in love with poi and you know that was so satisfying to me and i made it for myself okay i made that dish for myself and and yeah i mean it's fun i also found that during the pandemic when we were all kind of confined so much that it it became my creative outlet i couldn't do a lot of the things that i was even doing during my profession for my creative expression and i just found food was one of the most brilliant medias to work with because we all eat every day and it's just an opportunity to really indulge in color and texture and flavors and it's a real joy to use food as a creative outlet it absolutely it absolutely is i couldn't agree more um to to cook cooking is so gratifying isn't it there's something just so satisfying about having something you created from scratch turn up on a or end up on a on a plate looking so beautiful like that um i do want to mention to people who don't know what poi is it's actually just taro it's steamed or boiled taro that's been pounded down to to form a very glutinous kind of paste if you will very um i would have to say this is a this is one that might require some uh tastings before you become accustomed to it you know one of the things lillian that has helped me with food and getting over some of my food bias is to start to think about it and then to look for bridges with things that i already love and what i found with poi when i really looked at it was that it's very similar to other things in other culinary expressions poi is a neutral kind of a thing as you know and so you can add other flavors to it i kind of like my husband loves um lebanese food and middle eastern food and he will use what he calls leban which is actually yogurt and so you know he doesn't like yogurt but he'll eat leban so in taking that particular thing you can kind of blend it with other stuff and it complements the same way that like creme fraiche does or or even mashed potatoes if you think of poi in those kind of neutral um perspectives so i found that there's one manufacturer here that actually creates a poi that does not quote-unquote ripen over its lifetime the same way like yogurt water cheese would that might get more pungent as it ages um the way that they make it it holds that really neutral flavor and because it's held that neutral flavor i can use it in all kind of ways and experimenting with it has been fantastic and also it really fulfills my wanting to be um non-gluten and have a friendly carb base so i can use it at breakfast i can use it in all kind of ways but but yeah i have to sneak it in some people even if it is purple that's so creative i would never actually have thought to pair it with avocado but i i can see that creamy yeah that creamy texture on top of the the very neutral poi would would work yeah yeah poi has a bad rap but as i really looked at how can i honor hawaii i went back to look at that history and poi was a staple it was a very stable carb carbohydrate that went with your fish and it went with some of the other more sour things and and it was a very basic element and when i looked at basic elements and other culinaries like rice base is a staple in some and potatoes and another and you know poi was a very well used so i went back and i go you know this just deserves another shot and i really can't say enough nice things about it now if i can get my husband on board i haven't done that yet but we're still yeah my husband is the same he's he's definitely not a um for the poi but again i think it's just about tweaking tweaking some of these things to you know make them taste better to you because that's the whole point it's how how it tastes on your palette and you know who you're cooking it for um you'll see you'll see in one of the other pictures that you have and we'll talk about it and when when it comes up because i know that you and i talked about one other presentation coming up and and poi's in there okay let's have a look at another slide and back there it is back there it is the magic of tv yeah yeah now see that was me going what else can i do i need a snack i want something you know that i can have and on that plate is bok choy and bok choy as you know is a is a beautiful member of the asian cuisine family and it has this great crunchiness and it has this little kind of spiciness to it so i'm like hey i can use that i know you know my world likes to use celery so why can't i use bok choy and then what i did with the poi was i started to mix it with things and i mixed it with teriyaki and i put a little bit of almond almond paste you know in it because when i was in orlando where we used to live i got to know some vietnamese um recipes and things and i loved the peanut sauce so i started mixing and experimenting and i went wow this is almost kind of like bean dip when i was in college and we were all living on bean dip and if i set that down in front of you you might not ever figure it out but it is so clever sue honestly because when you think about it um the taro paste or the poi is actually very kind of dippy isn't it it is almost like a dip but i don't think that's how people normally use it which is fantastic you've found your own way to turn it into you know something something completely different which yeah just blows my mind how people when you start to think out of outside of the box you know you come up with all these brilliant ideas and when it comes to food as you said it's just so gratifying gratifying when i saw that dish i was thinking that's i could see that like in a magazine yeah really no really because it's so simple but you know the beauty of the food in hawaii is that it actually is simple the problem is most people mess with it too much and try to you know turn it into something that it's not but hawaii has a lot of food to offer that's what was so exciting when i was writing my book like learning about all the like things like poi which really don't travel very very well outside of hawaii i don't think many people are used to it although it is a Polynesian staple so you will find it in other islands like fiji and tahiti and places like that but it is a it is a fun way to to cook i love the way you think lady thank you well i've had great i've had some great help you know in my my previous days and in marketing and promotion i've been surrounded by creative people who we were always challenged to come up with a new way of saying something so i've been very fortunate that i'm encouraged by a lot of others who continue to say we're all born creative we just don't exercise our creative muscles enough but the more that you just give yourself some freedom and we call it you know i tell my husband every day it's an experiment i'm a jazz artist in the kitchen so i don't know what's going to jam today but you know that gives us some liberty it gives me liberty to test and try stop and to not worry about past fail i mean just not worry about it just try it and if you love it maybe somebody else will love it that that is a good point to bring up and i do love what uh changing tides the changing tides foundations say on their website something along the lines of uh progress over perfection and that's what we i named the show today it really is any any aspect of your life it can be incorporated into your you know your social life your your work life your family life progress over perfection when we try to try to make everything so perfect it doesn't work in a world like ours does it but progress does yeah progress is um is breaking the old habits maybe obtaining or attaining new habits that that work for you and work for the planet so again when it comes back to the vegan lifestyle it's it's about working together getting connected getting you know getting on board feeling sharing that energy that you have with the rest of the planet and not just focusing on you know my little small world i want to do this i want to continue to support the slaughter of animals you know we've got to think we've got to think more about what's going on around us and i think having this plant-based march challenge is a fantastic way to challenge yourself and do something fun it looks like you're just having a ball oh i i totally am i mean i mean i brought some of my little friends that i got the farmer's market i mean here's our little friend bok choy and look at how fresh that's yeah it hasn't been sitting in plastic under fluorescent lighting in the supermarket when they were like this is spinach i'm like it is are you sure but of course there's so many varieties of things that you don't always get to see and of course you know i they have you know beautiful onions and i got lemons i mean i got all kinds of oh and mr happy sweet potato there's another different kind of sweet potato so i just had a great time i mean i look forward to farmer's market saturday and my husband and i have just you know we go running and and i just go what's this what's this like in my fridge right now is this cutest little tree fruit called chico and i was like what's this and he goes you're gonna have to let it get kind of mushy squishy it gets you know it needs to kind of be close to feeling like a rotten tomato before it's really good and i'm like okay but oh my gosh it's like this beautiful little cross between a peach and a pear that kind of has a flavor like brown sugar i mean so i just i look forward to it all time i i have picked up some things that didn't work out so well i mean you know but it's again you know it asks questions ask questions ask questions and and and i but i found some great things and i found new ways to to eat and it's been a lot of fun well so it has been a lot of fun having you on the show and i hope that viewers take all of this in and you know find that positive that positive vibe that will get you through anything you challenge yourself to do in particular you know starting new eating habits so sue thank you so much for your insight sharing your journey i wish you all the best of luck with the rest of the month the challenge and your new life

episode of lilians vegan world i look forward to seeing you on the next show where i'll be talking with a vegan cardiologist and getting his insight into what really goes on and also the the vaccine that does contain animal ingredients so looking forward to that take care stay safe and see you next time aloha


The importance of proof in mathematics is often misunderstood. Proving something guarantees the truth of a statement, but you don't bother to prove statements you don't already believe true. Instead, proof does three things. First, it reviews what you should already know, it reveals new results, and it raises new questions to investigate. Let's see how that works. So we've been looking at ways to identify and eliminate bridges, so it helps to consider extreme cases. Suppose all edges in a graph with n vertices are bridges. Now one of the things we know is that in a connected graph if an edge is part of a cycle then it is not a bridge and conversely. So if everything is a bridge then no edge can be part of a cycle. But we also know that cycles can be unavoidable. A connected graph with n vertices and n edges must contain a cycle. So if there are n or more edges, there must be a cycle. Consequently, if g is a connected graph with n vertices where all edges are bridges then g has at most n-1 edges. Now suppose g is a connected graph with n vertices, what's the fewest number of edges it can have? A useful strategy in math and in life, if you build it, they will come. Suppose you have n vertices and zero edges. Obviously the graph isn't connected, so we'll add one edge. Since this edge joins two isolated vertices, the first edge we add leaves us n-2 isolated vertices. So we'll try and connect the other vertices by adding edges. But every edge we add will include at most one more isolated vertex. So we need to add at least n-2 more edges. And so we need our first edge, plus n-2 more, that's n-1 edges, to make a connected graph with n vertices. And this proves our theorem. Suppose g is a connected graph with n vertices, then g has at least n-1 edges. Now suppose we have a connected graph with n vertices and n-1 edges. Is there anything else we know? And a good way forward is, consider the corollaries. The easiest corollary to find is a contrapositive. So remember the contrapositive of the conditional if a then b is if not b then not a. The contrapositive and conditional are two for one deal, one for proven one, you get the other for free, so you might as well take it. To find the contrapositive, it helps to identify the antecedent, the if part, and the consequent, the then part. The consequent is that g has at least n-1 edges, so that's easy to identify. The antecedent is actually a conjunction consisting of three simple statements. g is a graph, g is connected, g has n vertices. This means we can split our premise and have a choice of antecedents. Since the result is meaningless unless g is a graph, then we really have three possibilities. We can take the compound statement, g is a connected graph with n vertices as our antecedent. We can split off g as a connected graph, and then the rest becomes our antecedent. Or we can take g as n vertices, and the rest as our antecedent. Which conditional should we find the contrapositive of? Clearly the one we should use is all of them. So if we use everything as our antecedent, our theorem is if g is a connected graph with n vertices, then g has at least n-1 edges. So we negate and switch the antecedent and consequent. The consequent, the then part, g has at least n-1 edges. Now at least means n-1 or more, so the negation would be less than n-1. So the negation of the consequent would be g has less than n-1 edges, and that becomes our new antecedent. The antecedent of our original theorem is g is a connected graph with n vertices. This is a compound statement, consisting of two simple statements. g is a connected graph, and g has n vertices. So remember the negation of a and b is not a or not b. So our negation will be g is not a connected graph, or g does not have n vertices. So the negation of the antecedent would be either g is not connected, or g does not have n vertices, and that will be our new consequent. Now remember we can split the premise so that we can make g a connected graph part of an overall premise and that our conditional becomes if g has n vertices, then g has at least n-1 edges. Now g is a connected graph as a separate premise. It's not part of the conditional, so we leave it. The consequent of our theorem is the same, so the negation and our new antecedent is still g has less than n-1 edges. And the consequent will be the negation of our original antecedent. So the negation of g has n vertices is g does not have n vertices, and that will be the consequent of our contrapositive giving us a theorem. We could also change our theorem to suppose g has n vertices if g is connected, then g has at least n-1 edges. So g having n vertices is a separate premise, so we'll copy it over into our contrapositive. And the consequent of our original statement is the same, so our antecedent of the contrapositive is still the same. The antecedent is g is connected, and so the negation will be g is not connected. And that gives us our new consequent and our new theorem. Now while we found three different contrapositives, they are not necessarily equally useful. And in particular, just knowing that g does not have n vertices doesn't tell us much. So these corollaries are not particularly insightful. However, g is not connected does give us a lot of information. So let's see how we can use it. Suppose g is a connected graph with n vertices and exactly n-1 edges. Using any edge gives it fewer than n-1 edges, and since g still has n vertices, it is no longer connected. Consequently, the removed edge is a bridge, giving us the result. Suppose g is a connected graph with n vertices and n-1 edges, then every edge is a bridge. Since our goal is to have no bridges, this is actually a promising result. In a connected graph, with n vertices and n-1 edges, every edge is a bridge. But if we add one edge, we have a cycle, and no edge on a cycle is a bridge. So adding one edge converts some of the bridges into non-bridges. Let's see where this takes us.


I hope you had a lovely week just like I did. I am your host SK Gytonga. Thank you for tuning in. Our topic of today, we're talking about 15% taxation on content creators. Content creators are arguing that this is a bit too much for them considering what they're earning from YouTube and other social media platforms is not enough to cater for their needs. Also, this is more than what other professional services are actually taxed. On to our first question. Do you think the 15% imposition of tax is fair for content creators? Let me know what you think in the comments section. I don't think it's fair because I feel content creators are just majorly the youth trying to do something with themselves and they literally don't have much on their side. They're not like people who work and who earn salary on a monthly basis. So I think it's really not fair. No, 15% is way too high. For the fact that it's the first time they're actually taxing content creators, they should have given something a bit lower just to get used to that. The proposed tax is not fair. According to me, it shouldn't be fair. I don't think content creators are just majorly the youth trying to do something with themselves. Because I say, for example, there's no employment. Most of them are like engineers, doctors, but they couldn't find work so they decided to employ themselves. So the government shouldn't tax them. How far can they go at all? I don't think they're supposed to be taxing. I'll give a very controversial answer and say yes because tax is a source of revenue for the government. So whether we think about fairness or not, everyone has a duty to pay taxes. So the government basically gets its revenue from taxation and from debts. Now, considering the position that the country is in now, we have to pay the debt that we have. So that means that we have to collect more revenue. And again, taxation is a source of revenue for the government. So people should be taxed. However, considering how the funds currently are being mismanaged by the government, it's also an iffy situation and I would understand why people would not want to pay their taxes. Yes, I think it's fair. The reason I'm saying it is fair because if you look at our country, the president is going through a lot and he needs to raise taxes. So with all fairness, people should give money. These people are making millions of money. We see them each and every day. YouTube is giving them a lot of money. There are a lot of ads coming from their sites. So from me, it's fair. Yes, I really support that. I think it's fair. I don't think it's fair. The government has not created any platform for these guys to do what they do. If they had created a platform for them to generate what they're generating, then it's worth it to collect the 15%. It's very fair. It's fair because these content creators, they show us the lavish life they're living, how they're earning, and most of them share screenshots of the impesa balances. So I don't think it's a big deal if they get taxed. For me, it's fair. I don't think the government is working so that everybody acquiesces ours. So I think we should put faith to our president and to him support. I think it's a good idea to claim to the fact that we're taxed. I don't think it's fair for me. I think it's fair because some of them are living lavishly through content creation and others don't want to do what they do. So these guys who want to do what they do, if they want to be a bit higher than them, then they could advise them because I think a lot of you are doing that financial wisdom or knowledge that with this money you're not part of through content creation, then how can you spend it and how to use it to help you become a better content creator? So maybe the government taxing these content creators I think is a good thing, but then you look at the money in the end. For example, these guys, Sakaja said that content creators like Nairobi they won't be taxed. Maybe it's the National Police. But then you find the National Police they won't be able to do what they do. Sometimes on Sunday they won't be able to do what they do. But then these are the little things that I think the government should look at before maybe taxing so that maybe the content creation field in Ezekua in a letter, a lot of money, maybe wildlife and all that in a letter. First, 15% is so much. If you are a content creator, you have to take 3% and 5% of which is bad to see poor. So personally, the objective of taxing is to be able to do it out of their own initiative. That's my opinion on that. I fear because it's a job like any other job and as the other people work and go and hassle with their daily lives they also get taxed. So I think it's very fair since they are also working to get taxed. I personally think that it's not fair because many of the content creators are trying to make their ends meet and they are also not earning that much. As a content creator, at the end of the month, you're never sure in Ezekuaniposa Mingli, I'm up at Saki Dogo. And then also considering this is their first time, maybe 5% or 6% would do but 15% is actually too much. To our second question, do you think content creators that are living a lavish lifestyle are prompting the government to imposing tax? Let me know what you think in our comment section at Y254, hashtag unfinished. Yes, content creators who have advanced, who have done this from a long time, are definitely getting good money, I guess. So I think that prompts the government to now put their tax at 15% because they see that there's a lot of money coming and they need to tax people, not thinking about people who have just started, people who have just decided let me begin and tax equal to our points really had. I think there's a lot of content creators who have done this, content creation, I'm not sure. There's nothing real for them. Content creation is what I'm doing. I don't know if it's money, it's not the killer who's going to pay for it. I don't know if it's money, maybe it's a combo. So, I think content creation is art. I'm just asking. I think they have earned it to that point when you listen to most of the people that they are burying. She's come from far to get to the point she is, so she's enjoying her fruits and she's enjoying her hard work. So, I think it's fair to them to live how they want. Well, given the economy, yes, it could be the case. Yeah, like, what's going around is that you pay as you live. So, probably that's the reason why. Yeah, I think so. I think content creators should be like the ones who are big, the ones who are big, they should not try and use the kind of money they get. They are supposed to be like the ones who want to attack content creators that it can actually happen for them too, but not try and kind of cool. The ones who are how life... No, I think it's... I don't know if it's going to work but I think... I think it's going to work like the role models to upcoming content creators or the way forward. I love what everyone does, you can really listen to podcasts and suggestions that are featured in. You can really listen to whatever this guy says. He's a good content creator, according to me. And whatever he says is amazing. He doesn't prove to others trying to live a lavish life and all. He's actually not living a lie. I would say yes, because...  And also, yeah, I would say yes. Definitely they have. Because, you see, like, now the other day, there was another young man called Sidhwi Vincent Boy. That guy, Sidhwi used to say, I don't know if I'm a millionaire or if I'm going to become a commentator. He's a president. If he doesn't have the audacity to make money as a commentator, if he doesn't want to live lavishly, the first thing we should train is financial literacy. Some of us get a lot of money, but we don't post. And the moment when I expose your purse, it's going to be very difficult. Financial literacy is important and they should be wise with their money. Don't get this little money and post it. As you see, the president is going through a lot. And we need to streamline this country. And the first thing is getting these taxes.  Then you post to us telling us that I have made my first million. So what? What about a young man there? You are not motivating him. You are not. Enjoy your money in success. And that's why I support Jalango by him saying that with all fairness, don't show us how lavishly you are living. Some people are missing meals.  Why are you resisting when they tell you to give us 15%. Yes, so they have prompted that and I proposed the government should go ahead. Government, government, government, government, government, government, government, It is a high time killer. In fact, The government is in a limp and the government is in a limp for the rest of its life. Those who have money, they need to pay taxes. It's okay for us to tax them. Yes, yes, yes. I think the push, maybe lifestyle, where some children are trying to squeeze what works, who are trying to force them to do it, post-bunner, who are trying to cheat. But I think it's not right. I think it's easy to get money from the government. There's a lot of money, but it's just for show. But then, if you don't have the money to invest, if you don't have the financial knowledge, maybe you won't be able to do it as content creators. You won't be able to get the president to pay taxes. Not really, because content creators have always lived a love-ish lifestyle. And there are some government mobs who don't know how to do it. They don't know how to do it as a content. So, I don't think so. It may, because the government may be so, while others are living in hard times, and the content creators are living very love-ish lives, maybe they thought maybe to equalize quotes and quotes. Maybe they should be taxed to feel maybe they pinch the rest of the Kenyans are feeling. Yes, I would say yes, because flaunting money online has become a trend that everybody is actually taking part in. But now the question is, do you think this money is real? Do you think the cars that they claim to own actually theirs?  Let me know what you think. Let's take a short break. We'll be back with two more questions.


Get in the jar! Get in! Oh he's not dead yet. How's it going everybody? Dato and I here back with some more Dragon Ball Fighters ranked matches and once again we are back with Master Roshi week only now we are playing a team of the Tournament of Power MVP characters. Now this is strictly speaking about Universe 7 so we have Master Roshi, UI Goku and Android 17 Vegeta you know he earned his spot on this team as well but because it's Master Roshi week we got to give it to Master Roshi. Wow talking trash to you Tigo Hane trying to play up that pacifist angle come on get hit get hit get hit yeah that was that was so sick and I dropped it but it was sick for a little while dropped it easier part of the combo as well going with a normal team Gohanish combo here are we just gonna get switched out or now the snap is back the snap is back but I'm not here to play with that I can really get there oh DP that was sick I had to go for that 6m if I'm in spark I gotta try the 6m at least once it's like my it's how I test how people are feeling it in block low is that gonna be the end of Master Roshi I don't think it is but I don't know the damage could the damage could build up let me switch out all right we're switching back out to UI Goku I can Super Dash again I feel great I can fight unfortunately it did get me punished but oh I didn't even mean to UI tech Super Dash is back to being available to us and Rosh I'm glad it landed that was a huge risk all right we should be in the clear right actually yeah we're definitely in the clear for this kill it's gonna be about just landing this hopefully I'm gonna let Android 17 come back in and do his thing here let's go barrier that's good enough we get the first character down now the only problem is we gotta get him the uses sparking at some point here I don't want to deal with the level 3 sparking especially with TN so it's gonna be difficult or you can do that now he was not prepared for me to elbow drop he just got caught he was like why forgot you could do that I've been tech in the whole time game oh I should have barrier that was sick I don't know how to deal with the teleports to be fair my my matchup information is not very is not very vast against Shunemba the teleports are scaring me he's just moving dude TN's back out all right at least we got the anchor out like I said I want to deal with TN first if I can and he doesn't teleport so this should be a little bit easier for us don't I raise so good all right they buff that as well in the season 3.5 patch it's probably one of the better neutral beams now Geneva's back out again the anchor didn't stay for long we're not gonna UI tech at least as far as I think that should be that's gonna be damaged dude I'm switching out let's preserve the assist we need to preserve our team as it is what's the mix with master Roshi I'm gonna mix them right here oh well I was throwing out those normals to mix it if he blocked it but that works too baby we take those all right now do we how do we deal with TN? Thunder shock surprise get back on the ground oh I didn't do it I accidentally hit the EX get away from me I love that move get another one okay I think we bought a lot of time though hopefully UI Goku can get it done I don't know if we'll be able to but oh I was loving that dude that section of gameplay there was so funny to me oh we're dead oh oh how did he get oh he was active before us I should have 2H that I made them I made a incorrect play oh what a finale to that game though the thunder shock surprises ah dude I was losing I could barely contain it all right I think he's gonna get aggressive here no really did he mean the DP I don't know that was crazy though it wasn't even if he didn't mean to the fact that he's comboed off this is wild to me that means he had the presence of mind to do all of that all right I don't know why I gave up corner there damn what a drop but that is okay as long as we start hitting stuff like that I'll take that for this wait a minute get a little bit of this in here a little bit of Master Roshi on the side why not boom okay I'm feeling great I'm feeling way better about our chances this round we haven't even used our spark yet the question is gonna be how can Master Roshi approach against the member I reflected the chow see but couldn't get my defense right for the other part nice oh I can't believe we're dropping important combos like that especially if we're gonna get hit afterwards oh I think that crossed him up and I'm okay with it and I am a okay with that he blast looking a little fat oh he's got the normals to back it up oh my goodness I'm sorry I got a call on you again Master Roshi hold on Ray really got me there oh we're alive we're alive give me the switch out with the super clutch under shock surprise oh we could have confirmed there in one nice I'm sweating right now I am sweating I am just thinking way too hard about every situation presented to us what a confirmed no no Master Roshi I didn't think he'd do it to us twice okay that's fine we still got so we have so many tools available to us I didn't think he'd read that whoa I can't believe we're probably dead he reset us we didn't even force spark off of him with a character that is so bad oh at least we got chance to I guess but that is so we played that so poorly dude I thought he was maxed range so I didn't block low oh I'm terrible I'm terrible at the video game oh I'm getting outplayed I'm getting outplayed okay this is bad who would have thought we'd have to spark first nicely done nicely done I'll take it I'll take it I was panicking there but we got it done I'm glad we played that slower I did not want to rush into things I wanted him to be the aggressor there and it ended up working out but now we got to go into game three and get it done we got to go into game three and get it done I need more on I need more like at the early stages of the game let me go I can't believe it I can't believe it personally I can't believe it get off of me there we go there we go clean hits we need clean hits and sliding let me switch them out let me switch them out actually yeah yeah you thought I was gonna let you click buttons nah no buttons allowed I wish we could have punished that wish we could have punished that but I'm not gonna hold it against myself for too long oh no way oh no oh I kept that situation was bad for both of us we both made many mistakes let's go and switch out because we got too much blue hell okay I had to do that it's the only way we could have confirmed off that nicely done another good start man this is a this has been a very scramble oriented game we've been dropping a lot of stuff we haven't been getting it to fall but as long as we can get it to go as somewhat our way that's all we really need nice superdash I was not prepared I got to stop jabbing in those situations resets are another big thing we need to look out for I didn't even think about teleporting I didn't even think about teleporting but who cares another big drop hold them down master Roshi hold them down the assist is too good love to see that all right I'm feeling very confident about our chances here though oh baby oh baby oh yeah oh just oh this is the best it's the best that ever it's the best that could happen I'm an idiot that's fine that's fine that's fine that's fine oh that is so fine let me beat you with this stick okay this isn't gonna kill him but I'm pretty sure we we can make a read that can get off of me oh it's pretty spacious in there stay in the jar let's go oh that was sick yeah oh anybody else sweaty okay we are back with another set here going up against a another god of destruction right the opponent hey Goku with a big smile on his face let's see what does Roshi say to Goku blue is it the same old sable yeah pretty cool for old man gotta flex to the team but what do we say to Roshi's ah one of the standard lines that's unfortunate but hopefully we can get it done here boom going up hey love to see it I'm already I'm already feeling way too good that last match gave me so much confidence that last match gave me so much confidence that I'm just prepared for this now I just came here to play dude that's that's really all it's about oh I dropped it at the last second oh that was close DP great decision I was not thinking about it DP slip my mind oh that's bad okay really bad from position for me to be in I'm gonna spark here and I actually I was holding back and then accidentally hit up back out of fear oh that's not good oh that's not what that's not what you want to see when you spark no on the fact that we almost had Goku blue dead is as bad as well that's fine no he can combo off of that now that's right presence of mind to get me back in the quarter I dislike it in the quarter I'm doing everything in my power to get out we've made so many mistakes and we just need better defense we need better defense I need just one good defensive segment never mind who cares about defense who cares about defense nice hit him with the level to hit him with a full beam and then Android 70 you can come and finish it off hopefully that's one please nice okay good I thought I might have messed up and we would have needed you I go to finish that off but we're good we are definitely in a better play I'm gonna barrier are you kidding me that was so sick that was incredibly sick oh nice actually actually jabbed and stopped me that was sick I gotta stop saying sick I've said it too many times it's lower it's lowering what when something actually does a super sick happens let me get this let me get another level three here does he spark I don't know if I don't know if I'm gonna commit to that read yeah he does but I'm perfectly fine with not getting the read on that joke surprise oh I try to leap out because I saw him use a key blast so I thought I'd be smart but I just mistimed it mistimed the jump oh that's fine hard cancel we're out of there key blast feeling good feeling great I'm hoping this just a level one kill yes okay good another good level one kill and now I think we got it I think we all know I gotta get Roshi back out here stunned a shock surprise get in the job masters lead through the key blast and just kicked them in the face oh my goodness wow that was so sick I know I said I I know I said I hold back on the sick but come on that one was genuinely sick oh he tested me I didn't think he tested me I need to switch I need to switch like yesterday bro calm down bro geez man give me that give me that give me that yes okay good I was so worried about getting hit again nice Gallaghan oh I couldn't fast fall in time nice am I gonna switch out to Roshi here I guess so right I guess so you're not gonna be leaping through that anytime soon nice I'm just gonna do this I'm gonna do this in level three with somebody I just don't know who 17 maybe I'm gonna level through 17 let's do it maybe spending that one bar wasn't super smart but yeah okay we got a spark that's fine that's fine love that dude that was so clean the barrier into a DPS this is just nuts he he's just he he jabs too much from that to nice didn't get the actual confirm off of it which is terrible by me but that's more than fine enough no too much is not gonna fall I'm just lucky we got the block there to be honest let's go oh I couldn't bring it home all right good just go with the normal stuff I'm dropping too much now all right you know what I'm tired of not playing Roshi dude I'm playing Roshi again no he's dead I should have gone with the command grab but I had the chance I was just too afraid I get jabbed seven bars though which means we're easily dead if he wants us to be which he does he's gonna get the first character to fall but we've really injured a lot of his team so I'm not terrified that we're gonna lose the game especially since he doesn't have sparked but I would like if possible we need to get G to out of here we need to get G to out of here fast so we can get that blue life let's just hope we can get it to fall but he's not dead yet hold on hold the music hold the music or even though it's a blue combo I got a smile on my face you would have thought that was the you would have thought I to eat him with the smile on my face oh I will take that are you I can't believe it I can't believe it I am just struggling right now but it is working out fine it is working out a okay we're gonna be we're gonna make it we're gonna make it oh that's it this is everything I've got for the end of the tournament a power-themed team you like Goku bring it on be the end of this video hopefully you all enjoyed it if you did let me know down below in the comment section what your favorite moment is but while you're down there also make sure that the like button and subscribe if you enjoy the channel and the videos I want to support it that is one way to do it greatly and I appreciate

video


Hello everybody, welcome to our training camp in Lomanga. Training has gone really well so far, I've been really pleased with how the lads have worked. Attitudes to everything that we've asked them to do has been first class. David Brooks, obviously a new player that we've signed has settled in really well, been really pleased with his progress. And the team looked really strong against the Villain, the friendly is really pleased with everybody's contribution. The attitude and work rate was of the highest quality and we've got a good result against a very good team. As we move forward, more challenges throughout pre-season. I'm really looking forward to the home games to come against Marseille and Real Betis. I really hope that as many of you as you can can join us for those games to see how the team is shaping up before the Premier League starts. I hope everybody's had a great summer and really look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
