I'm no chessman, but I don't think it's possible to get double checked by any legal move outside of some kind of castling nonsense.

White played like a competent beginner. They developed their knights, got the queen on the 2 row, didn't overdevelop one piece. Black played like a child who just learned how pieces move, charging their bishop unsupported then immediately trading it for a less developed piece.

Sorry, i didn't follow any of that. Why can't the king just move like two spaces diagonally?

If I were the king I would simply step off from the chess board and dominate my enemies from afar

Why does the king, the largest piece, not simply eat the other pieces?

victory in chess comes from a fat idiot monarch surviving alone the mutual annihilation of two armies. chess warned us about world war 1 but we were too arrogant to listen

Is it not? Queen can take the king, same if it moves forward, moving diagonal is at risk from the knight. Knight already had the king, so blocking the queen won't do anything, and ditto for taking either the queen or knight E: behold me not seeing that another page exists VVV: I'll have to remember that maneuver for my next game Sentient Data has a new favorite as of 00:41 on Sep 29, 2021 |
