I must be worse. The king can take the bishop, but trading a bishop for the opponent's queen sounds like a pretty good deal?

King can't take the bishop because the knight is covering it. White's only move at that point is to move the king forward, at which point the other bishop moves in and checkmates.

For what it’s worth, I showed the “free queen” meme to three friends of mine with ratings between 1600-2100. They all chuckled sensibly, so it’s a good meme.

Here’s my problem, I have about a dozen “sensible chuckles” a day. I’m kinda chasing one of those laughs where you can’t catch your breath and cry before passing out.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

What knight? I feel like I'm missing something fundamental, the only white knight is still in its original position, it ain't covering the black back row.

I am also a chessidiot who can't even begin to figure out how black wins this.

White bishop takes black queen.
Black bishop takes white pawn, check.
White king can't take the black bishop because the black knight is defending its square. White's only legal move is to advance the king.
Black's other bishop moves to put white's king in checkmate.

Somewhere in this playlist is a scene that should meet your demand. I don’t remember when exactly it happens, so I guess you’ll have to watch the entire series.

Yeah, I think the guy I was responding to thought that the next move (black bishop taking white pawn) was so obvious he didn't need to say it, and left those of us looking at the board-as-presented scratching our heads because it's black's turn, and the white bishop is in no way covered by the white knight.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

They collapsed at a party which is why they had to pump the cum out.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
They’re absolutely right about Stalemate and it’s why I don’t play chess. If one player is out of moves but the other player has tons of options left then how the gently caress is that a draw?

Literal complete board dominance and I don’t win BECAUSE I took every option away from you? Dumbest game on the planet.

Yes I am still bitter about a specific match I played in 6th grade.
