@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.

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:

Wtf? — Mikie

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.

You take the queen, and the game is over. In my opinion. But y’all do what you want.

Good game. I resign. Chess.com is being wonky so it won’t let me right now, but I do.

Saw that move yesterday but then forgot when I moved knight. Also, I should have opened with Kings Indian or French. Would have been a little more exciting.

I see you play 5 minute games— happy to play either that or 3 if we can coordinate a time.

I also find it silly and against the rules of all sort of monarchistic dynamic that the king piece cannot simply swap with (or otherwise consume) any other piece in an immediately adjacent square. But that's why chess is a game for commoners, after all. Except you. I like you.

Aha, Shatranj rules where a king can castle while in check. So be it! It won't save your castle though. :death:



Your move.

Uh.. yes! That's exactly right. Took long enough for you to catch on. :razz:

The game between Mikie and myself @Mikie

Hmmm or did I play @boethius ... :yikes: anyway, it was a nice tense game... :)

What are you up to. :chin:



Your move.

What is any man up to, really, but the deeds of his father. I suppose that doesn't answer the question. What is any man up to, really, but the doings of a child: mischief, greed, desire.

This is a zero-sum game. Or so I'm told. It shouldn't take much inquisition to discover the answer to your question lies within.

We're cooking with gas now.

I always wanted to say that so thanks for helping to provide an opportunity.

I'm sending in my intrepid knight again for another devistating incursion.



Your move.

I'll regret this in the morning, no doubt. (so in about an hour)

Let's hope that knight of yours isn't as blind as he is fearless.
