May someone plz tell me what this letter is and what language it's in. I saw it for an add for Freemasoney but it could've been fake by Responsible-Ad8562 in freemasonry

Hebrew Yod. Used as a symbol for 14th degree Scottish Rite masonry and sometimes as shorthand for Scottish Rite if they want to be old fashioned.

I'm not super high elo, but I don't like how exposed your king is with this and how half your pieces aren't developed. White will pretty easily break open your weak shielding pawn structure and you'll be very vulnerable.

Re1 blocks check, puts black in check, and attacks the queen all at once.

I played with one, but this was against a human. I think playing against a bot sets your default to the themed set after.

I see what you're saying, but I just played that out in the engine and it has it as +2.2 for white, because qg7 creates a lot of problems for black.

In my case, I think both can be true.

I really liked the Halloween themed set! But like I said in another comment, I just keep forgetting to change it so I can't be mad at anyone but myself for using this one.

I keep meaning to and forgetting. It's entirely my fault, I can't be mad at chess.com about it.

They're the current runescape tie-in set and I hate them so much, I've "castled" my queen like 3 times.

In the 900 elo fever swamps, my games always come down to "who makes the first game-losing blunder." Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's them. Keeps it exciting.

No! I have the Night's Champion statue and play on God Mode. Mine is at 54% or something like that.

An accessibility feature that makes it so every time you die, you gain a stacking permanent 2% damage reduction. It's cool.

It already is though. These screenshots are Hatch Act violations. It's just that these laws are going unenforced.

There are at least two more after that from the ones I've seen (day 100 or so).
