a key difference between the knight and the bishop is, that the knight can really force the king to move in situations where the bishop could be blocked by another piece moving into the way.

Does this constellation (knight being backed by bishop in front of white's castle have a specific name or something?

My father is annoyingly using this construct that I find very hard to break into, he played white here. So I would like to find a strategy against it :-)

Black to play, I (white) have obviously cornered black so bad with B-f4 that they let the clock tick down for the full 5 minutes

A bit annoying that people won't find the 'resign' button if they are unwilling to finish the match.
That was indeed my plan. But pressing the resign button would be a bit nicer in such a case
First Canadian trial successfully uses phage therapy to stop life-threatening UTI caused by superbug
Phages were studied intensively in the Soviet Union and it’s block states during the Cold War and I remember seeing documentaries on German Tv with patients tracking to tiblisi, Georgia, to receive phage therapy
Wonder on the impact for glas recycling.

So I am on lichess in the 700es range and I continue to have these players as opponents who early on attack really aggressively.They must have some success with this (element of surprise I guess), but if I look at the stockfish analysis there moves arent so smart. (difficult enough for me to fend off though). I sometimes feel a little dumb, though because it can be quite hard to find out how to stop their attacks..

Peeing while standing I do only at urinals. At home I sit. Of course I would also pee while standing, but the additional cleaning need is just not worth it.
Irgendwer schrieb auf Twitter dass die Studie evtl Probleme hat mit der Repräsentation. Also neben der Schlagzeile hier wurde z.b. auch Fragen zur Einstellungen zu homosexualität abgefragt und die Antworten diesbezüglich waren wohl chauvinistischer / menschenfreundlicher als in anderen repräsentative Studien. Somit haben wir hier eine Studie die mehreren anderen Studien wiederspricht was auf einen methodischen Mangel hinweist
This "nutritionist" seems to champion the Alkaline diet, which is pseudoscience / quackery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_diet_(alternative_medicine)
I got "hooked" by playing 5+3 (5 minutes for each player and 3s per turn for each player) games online. It really makes it more enjoyable because the clock is a natural antidote to "perfectionism". If I blunder a piece now, I still get mad, however, it's bound to happen under a time constraint so I don't lose the motivation for the next match due to this.

I am playing on Lichess and just dropped from 700-800 range where I frequently played >800 ELO numbers back to the 600 range and in some way its also true there. I dropped down on an evening where I probably should have just stopped playing and so now I have to make my way up very concentrated against players that objectively don't develop their pieces well but somehow manage to make renegade moves that are challenging to counter...
