MY BEST CHESS.COM WIN EVER, AND A VERY LUCK ONE TOO
My opponent's Chess.com rating was 1992 before the game, and 1982 afterwards, This was a comedy of errors played during my wee small hours, while Scott was disturbing me with noises from the kitchen, My opponent must have got confused too. I played the King's Gambit without knowing the opening properly, and it looked as if I was reaping the consequences
LEONARD (SCOTLAND) versus NAPOLON BRAHO (UNITED STATES)
Two games later I achieved my highest ever Chess.com rating (1896)

THE CTHULHU MYTHOS EXPLAINED YET AGAIN
Thank you for noticing the similarity, Nicola!
THE CTHULHU MYTHOS (WIKI)
The Cthulhu Mythos is a shared fictional universe, based on the work of American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft.
The term was first coined by August Derleth, a contemporary correspondent of Lovecraft, who used the name of the creatureCthulhu—a central figure in Lovecraft literature[1] and the focus of Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu" (first published inpulp magazine Weird Tales in 1928)—to identify the system of lore employed by Lovecraft and his literary successors. The writer Richard L. Tierney later applied the term "Derleth Mythos" to distinguish between Lovecraft's works and Derleth's later stories.[2]
Authors of Lovecraftian horror use elements of the Mythos in an ongoing expansion of the fictional universe.[3]

2016 CONFERENCE PROGRAM, INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR BAYESIAN ANALYSIS
ISBA 2016
Welcome to the ISBA 2016 World Meeting
International Society for Bayesian Analysis
13 -17 June, 2016
Forte Village Resort Convention Center Sardinia, Italy
The ISBA 2016 World Meeting is the continuation of the traditional Valencia/ISBA Meetings regularly held since 1979. They represent a unique event where the Bayesian community gathers together to discuss recent advances and the future of our profession, at the same time looking back to our roots and traditions, following the footsteps of those who laid the foundations of where we are now.
Recent world meetings have been held in Valencia (Benidorm, Spain) in 2006, Hamilton Island (Australia) in 2008; Valencia (Benidorm, Spain), in 2010; Kyoto (Japan), in 2012; Cancun (Mexico), in 2014. Since 2012 the meetings are exclusively organized by ISBA.
We hope you will continue to be part of such tradition at ISBA 2016!
