Would h3/h6 or a3/a6 really be considered pushing? When I think pushing I think something like h3 then g4. But I don't know poo poo about gently caress.

Solution:


1...Rxc5 (starting with Rb1+ transposes) 2.Rxc5 Rb1+ 3.Kg2 Nf4+! 4.Kf3 Rb3+ 5.Kxf4 g5+ 0-1 (6.Kxg5 Qxe4 -+)


Love it.

Does 3. Kg2 Ne3 work? or does it have to be Nf4?

I didn't check it with the computer but Ne3 blocks Rb3+, meaning you can't push the king away from the queen.



Ah I see it, thanks.

Friendship with chess.com over, now lichess is new best friend.
Zen mode + pentatonic sounds? Amazing. Analysis board, unlimited puzzles, this site has it all.

How dishonourable is it to not accept an opponent's request to take back a move, when it's obvious they mis-clicked, but I'm in a losing position and capitalizing on it means I'll be able to win?

I have a feeling the answer is "very, but tough luck, opponent should have been more careful in such a critical position".

I've accepted take-back requests when positions are equal and it's obvious they were trying to Castle or something.

I just needed that win, damnit.

never request nor accept a request for a takeback.

the boxing rounds need to be longer if the ref is going to take forever to break the clincT and also to do the standing 8 counts.

They also need to speed things up between rounds as the transition took way too long.

a while back someone linked a training tool that was like puzzles except specifically for avoiding blunders. anyone remember what that was?

Aimchess has a Blunder Preventer thing that actually draws on positions with your own games.

Like I said, I know lichess is the goon option of choice. I actually like chess.com and don't really feel an inclination to change. Just wondering if there are goons who I can play with there.

My first instinct is Bxg4 trading the bishop for two pawns and creating connected passers and black probably can’t defend the pawn on the H file either

Fuckin wild. Alireza makes time control with the mate, Gukesh had to hold for just one more move that was absolutely insane. I’ve never actually seen mate on the board at this level but you know the only reason is because Gukesh literally had two seconds on his clock.
