Charlie Wilson song

What Charlie Wilson song contains both the phrases "in the streets" and "all right"/"alright"? 24.130.24.40 (talk) 05:23, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming you mean Charlie Wilson (singer), I'm pretty sure it's the Snoop Dogg/Charlie Wilson collaboration "Can't Say Goodbye" from Snoop's Ego Trippin', best as I can find from a google search. Is that it? --Jayron 32 05:29, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's probably it, although I heard the lyrics as "all right", and the online lyrics are given as "be right". 24.130.24.40 (talk) 06:21, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

O'Bryan song

What O'Bryan song contains the phrase "love thing" or "love thang"? 24.130.24.40 (talk) 05:23, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure it was O'Bryan? I can't find any songs he did titled that or with that phrase. However, there have been at least two songs with the title "Love Thang", one by First Choice (band), and another by Fredi Grace and Rhinestone, which lacks a Wikipedia article. Try those two out, perhaps it's what you are looking for? They're from broadly the same time period as O'Bryan was most active (late '70s early 80's) and also come from the same sort of Funk style of music. --Jayron 32 05:37, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another possibility is that you misheard the lyric. Maybe it was "Lovelite" by O'Bryan instead? --Jayron 32 05:40, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know it was O'Bryan because it said so on the LCD on the satellite radio. Maybe it was Lovelite. Thanks. 24.130.24.40 (talk) 06:22, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Polgar's move

At 0:53 I'm not entirely sure why Polgar decided to retreat her bishop as it's protected by queen anyway and a2-a3 might force the black's knight out. Houdini's analysis showed that if black knight takes bishop, then queen takes bishop and then black king simply goes to f8. Was it because Polgar just didn't want to exchange pieces? Brandmeister^talk 21:45, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Brandmeister: It's a little bit of a difficult question to answer succinctly. The beginning of the video says the game is taken from The King Hunt, a book which unfortunately I don't seem to have access to. Generally speaking, however, that's simply white's "good bishop". It's a positional rather than tactical call, meaning it's less about calculating material and more about maximizing the potential of your pieces on the board. A "good bishop" is one that is not inhibited by one's own pawns. The bad bishop can be a useful defender in some cases, but they get their name because their movement may be impeded, they can't adequately defend the other side's attacking squares, and they can't attack as well (again, these are all general -- it's highly dependent on context). In that position white would definitely want to hang on to that bishop and black would want to try to get rid of it -- the sole purpose of playing Ng4 (which means playing a3 instead loses a tempo). Look at how many times that white bishop played a crucial role, right up through its sacrifice to win the game. Losing the good bishop wouldn't necessarily mean white would have a bad position -- but black would have at least equalized. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:33, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
