Web Site - DecodeChess [/] This is a web site that analyzes your games and tries to explain the why of suggested moves. Most chess engines give you the best two or three lines (next few moves) and maybe there's a rating score but no other explanation. Decode gives you the line but for each move you can expand and see why that move is good or bad (because you can do these other moves or it protects from these enemy moves). Although now the problem may be too much information. Still it's a cool idea. Subscription is $7 per month.

Computer Game - Spellbreak [/] Battle royale game with mages. It does look a lot like Fortnite with magic including airdropping onto an island and a smaller and smaller circles with a surrounding storm but no building. There are six elements and you combine two for specific spell effect. Looks ok.

Movie - Underwater (2020) [/] A mining settlement deep in the Mariana Trench (the deepest point of the oceans) suffers a catastrophe. Six survivors use underwater suits to try to walk to the mining rig six kilometers away but they are beset by undiscovered creatures that live there. It starts off ok but the physics become less and less logical. With Kristen Stewart and TJ Miller.
