Marvel movies can take loads of deserved criticism, but most fans know how to chill tf out and enjoy them.

So the worse movies are better because they don’t have consistent themes or complexity. Got it.

If pawn takes rook and promotes to a queen, black king takes it the next turn (then the far away white rook moves up and checkmates the turn after, so it doesn't matter still)

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Men that are really into Scorcese movies are usually like that because the idea of having friends that actually like you and hang out with you and do stuff together is so alien to them that they can live vicariously through his movies. Poke a Scorcese fanboy and a lonely man bleeds.

There's definitely one type that good and aren't embarrassing to be part of the same species of, I'm sure. Absolutely 100% sure that there's one type of movie enjoyer that doesn't suck out there.

Chess got a balance patch in 2016. Instead of 50-turns = draw, it's now 75 turns without a capture.


It also got one in the 1800s after a rules lawyer pulled a gotcha.



White won by, instead of using the pawn to capture the rook, advancing it and promoting it to a BLACK knight, meaning the king couldn't take it to escape check. The rules were then changed so a pawn can only promote to a piece of the same colour.

Eh, like other posters have pointed out, it's kind of dumb, white wins in a few moves anyway if they just capture the rook.

You neglected to mention the other rules patch they had to do in recent times. I think it wasn't abused in an actual game, just in a chess puzzle but they changed the rules afterwards either way.

So they moved the pawn in front of the king all the way to the end of the board and promoted it to a rook.

Then they were like: "this rook technically never moved, right? It just spawned right here. The king never moved either, right? There's nothing in the way, right?"

"Well in that case I'm gonna castle with that pawn." So they castled vertically, hopping the king over the recently-promoted rook, and moving the rook a few places back.

They then changed the rules to say that for castling the rook must occupy the same rank (chess term for row) as the king to allow castling.
