Your move

@BitconnectCarlos: I know; I wasn't serious.

I totally get the frustration, though. In any case, it helps to know when pieces are under attack.

Your move.

Wtf?

Bro, that's what I said, too! But to be fair, he did this with me the 3-4 (not sure however many) years ago and apparently, yeah. There's 3 "special moves" in chess. Now, to be fair, if you pull stuff like that on a New York City park bench, it's no one's fault but your own if you end up with the sharp end of a chessboard in your neck. Stuff like that just won't fly in certain neighborhoods.

But, no, it's 100% legal rules of chess. "Castling", "En Passaint" and "pawn promotion."

Sure. Maybe the game would be better off without, but, it's what it is.

Not exactly sure we’re talking about the same thing. I’m curious as to why he hasn’t taken your queen yet.

Don’t worry, I beat his ass a few years back. :strong: lol

I'm assuming he likes his rooks. Or whatever the cross-bearing, diagonal-moving pieces are. Perhaps they're paramount to his preferred strategy or style of playing. They often do end up sneaking up on you quite at the worst possible moments. And with two? Oh man, one best be careful. :wink:

I couldn't decide between taking his queen or forking the king/rook so I castled. Castling is usually a good move. And Outlander is right about my irrational attachment to the bishop.
