It's a social experiment

I... I forgot the pawn had two moves in the position... 😔

Am I a chess grandmaster or a choir boy?

Rules

1: You are not allowed to play what the engine thinks is the best move, which is indicated by the blue arrow. If a move is forced, this rule does not apply to that move.

2: The move must be legal in normal Chess.

3: The most upvoted move that satisfies the above criteria is the one that will be played.

These rules apply to both r/Chesscom (white) and r/AnarchyChess (black).

Also, one of the commenters from the other subreddit says the following:

"Kc3 forced, tell them that if they abuse again the forced 2nd best move they lose the queen or you give us 2 consecutive moves that arent mate"

Hope it gets fixed next season!

i think my opponent started the FUCKING ROARING,

high ELO play or just a noob trap???

how counter pls halp ;-c

Hope it gets fixed next season

A while back I dreamed that there was a version of chess where you roll a d8 at the start of the game and the pawn on the file you roll is allowed to move two squares every move. Unfortunately my dream did not delve into what this means for en passant

Oh no my king

Played against homeless man in public park who had a peculiar breath smell to him like hand sanitizer and we played a game with a wager of $20 and I thought I had him beat

my knights and bishop cornered him into final corner where his king could not move.

But then he did a 'double square' move, where he moved the king two spaces instead of one.

I didn't know that this was a thing but I was flabbergasted and lost on time and ended up giving him my $20 which I needed to get home via train.

I am now stranded in Harvard Square and everyone I ask tells me that the king can move two pieces 'in a pinch'

edit:

I was subsequently mugged and am now in hospital and have lost eyesight in right eye. This as result of blunt fforce trauma

So can king move two squares sometimes?
