no mate the pawn moves only forward
it doesn't move backwards
pseudo kernel
yeah but it captures diagonally. isnt the queen is on a diagonal?
rain fossil
yes but it captures diagonally to the front only
pseudo kernel
g7 x Qf8
rain fossil
it can't move back
pseudo kernel
why would it need to move back? the queen is to the front left of it
rain fossil
why would it need to move back? the queen is to the front left of it
bro
flip the board
in the black's side prospective
pseudo kernel
oh shoot
rain fossil
lmao
pseudo kernel
ty!
pseudo kernel
idk I'm just starting out 😭
why cant the rook at h2 capture the queen at h4? ik rooks capture diagonally but to capture a piece you just have to move to the square it's on
rain fossil
wha? 😭
first of all
rooks capture only straight lines
not diagonals
bishops capture diagonally
and they can't jump like horses
so u need to have the space to their destination open without any piece in the middle
pseudo kernel
ugh I'm so sorry I meant pawn at h2 😭
rain fossil
okay so the pawn can't move diagonally
it only captures diagonally
and one step only
pseudo kernel
yeah
but to capture you just have to move to the square the other piece is at right
pseudo kernel
and since its thr opening move for h2 it can move 2 places, so doesnt that mean it should be able to capture the queen?
rain fossil
and since its thr opening move for h2 it can move 2 places, so doesnt that mean ...
nope it can't move 2 squares up cuz the queen is there
and it can't capture it cuz pawns only capture diagonally
so if that pawn was at h3 u can't move it upwards again until the queen moves
pseudo kernel
nope it can't move 2 squares up cuz the queen is there
isnt that the whole point? move to the square the other piece is on to capture it
theres mo piece in front of h2 (like at h3), only the queen at h4 so theres nothing blocking the way
rain fossil
isnt that the whole point? move to the square the other piece is on to capture i...
no sir there are rules for chess
and the pawns rules are that it moves up only and captures diagonally within one square
it doesn't make sense but that's what makes it fun
pseudo kernel
...huh 😭
rain fossil
lol
pseudo kernel
and the pawns rules are that it moves up only and captures diagonally within one...
but it can move 2 squares if it's the first time ur moving that pawn
rain fossil
have u reached un passant yet?
rain fossil
but it can move 2 squares if it's the first time ur moving that pawn
yup first time only
but if there is something in it's way u can't
pseudo kernel
have u reached un passant yet?
I have no idea what that is
pseudo kernel
but if there is something in it's way u can't
yeah so like
rain fossil
I have no idea what that is
lmao if u don't understand it nw cuz no one in the low levels would use it
pseudo kernel
but to capture you just have to move to the square the other piece is at right
ig this doesnt apply to pawns? 😭
pseudo kernel
lmao if u don't understand it nw cuz no one in the low levels would use it
good to know 😄😭
rain fossil

hm
fluid pumice
but a long with swiss with many participants could take a while
the formula for required rounds in a swiss is 2^rounds = players
fluid pumice
yeah
when there is a clear winner cc automatically stops the tournament
recently played a 7 round swiss with 4 players
it ended after 4 rounds
finite flicker
i hate chess 😔
fluid pumice
decent explanation
finite flicker
i see
fluid pumice
5 rounds of swiss in 10+0 may take a max of 100 mins
which isnt that bad
but usually it wont go that long
60-80 mins prolly
finite flicker
100 minutes is a while
fluid pumice
yeah
fluid pumice
i've actually played a single game that went for more than 2 hours
it was a 1v40 simul
where the 1 person was an IM
finite flicker
i see
fluid pumice
we likely wont do swiss
you could elect a shorter time control tbh
fluid pumice
like titled teusday, tho i prefer tcs without increment myself
its fine if people have same scores
tie-breaker systems exist
tho it shouldnt usually happen for the higher spots since there wont be alot of players
i dont know if chess.com arenas can be set to "pair by rating" "pair by points", but iirc that's two ways of doing an arena
arenas are simple
the one hosted was by points
rating ones are.. not much fun for higher rated players imo
their games go on for longer, since there shouldn't be immediate blunders, and smurfs REALLY have fun in such an arena
finite flicker
i dont know if chess.com arenas can be set to "pair by rating" "pair by points",...
i believe they can
this one was paired by points iirc
finite flicker
hm
no wait
idt it was by points
mustve been by rating instead
i was only matched with you once
and im 800 smth atm
i assume thats because the waiting time was very long
finite flicker
doesnt really
make sense to me
since
i shouldnt have been paired with you either way
rating was diff
and points were miles apart
i only played 11 games
ill confirm which one it was
fluid pumice
also
fluid pumice
rating was diff
i had a game going on 24/7 so the window of us getting paired was small
finite flicker
i believe your game was the one i went afk on
fluid pumice
arenas with a large rating disparity usually involve the better players trying to just build massive streaks and ruin the streaks of other top players
swiss tournaments are much slower and more controlled, they actually try to pair better people later in the tournament
which can make for an exciting format
r1 pairings are done by rating, after that, its all points in swiss
finite flicker
i was correct
well
swiss seems interesting
but again if we hold another event
there are bound to be more people
fluid pumice
you can use the formula to predict how many rounds you need
finite flicker
since this time around it was held around the time of eid
fluid pumice
but the growth in rounds isnt bad
swiss would be fine, i've even seen swiss bullet tournaments

Brilliant
Queen defended by knight and bishop
If rook takes
Knight takes
Which forks the queen and rook
Mwah
Beautiful

my dumbass will probably even mess this up 😔

What if Queen G8
fork with knight me personally
either took takes knight or king moves
lilac crag
What if Queen G8
I'd trade queens
lilac crag
either took takes knight or king moves
You'd just be losing material
You can't take rook when it takes knight either cuz you'll lose your queen
So I'd say it's better to trade queens since you're already in an advantageous position
And then try to push the d pawn
After Queen G8, you take their queen, black King takes our Queen, you play knight to B7.
They'll move their rook to either F8, C8, B8 or A8
Either of those are fine
You can either push d pawn and hope black rook takes it and you take their rook
Or you can take the pawn on C5
To open up that file as well
After that they'll either attack the pawn or the knight
D pawn is protected by the rook so you won't need to worry about that

You'd just be losing material

And bishop is protected by pawns

if I see something I'll test it out
lilac crag
You'll only lose material

I gamble on moves

After Queen G8, you take their queen, black King takes our Queen, you play knigh...
So is Queen G8 the best move for black at that point or is there something better
lilac crag
So is Queen G8 the best move for black at that point or is there something bette...
No
Objectively speaking, it'd be better to take the white queen
With the rook
Save the queen from the fork
And take the knight when it takes the rook
You'd be losing 2 rooks
But
You (black) would still have your queen
And a queen would be way more useful than a bishop and rook
You can try to push the e pawn
But if you play Queen G8
There's a chance your opponent just retreats
blazing flicker
So you're saying that while a queen trade would be an even loss of points in the short run, in the longer run of the game it would lead to a much more advantageous position for white
blazing flicker
There's a chance your opponent just retreats
Hmm

Yes

There's a chance your opponent just retreats
And this retreat would be a mistake yeah?
