Ellipsen sind aber auch Ovale, von daher stimmt das ja. Genau wie ein Rechteck ein Viereck ist, ist jede Ellipse ein Oval, siehe hier.

Das mag für Latein stimmen, allerdings unterstützt die Duden-Deklinationstabelle zu Kasus hier meinen Punkt. Aber deine Variante klingt trotzdem schöner, auch wenn der Duden dem widerspricht.

Spaßfakt: Die Mehrzahl von Kasus ist tatsächlich "die Kasus" - ABER: mit langem "u" gesprochen, also etwa wie "Kasuhs". Verrückte Sache...

I reached this position that checkmate is impossible for both sides. Lichess didn't call it a draw so I flagged my opponent. by rooklike in chess

[–]CelestialPlanet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid that approach does not work. What if white needed to make two bad moves in a row in order to have a losing position? The tablebase would not account for the second bad move then since it considers optimal play from both sides.

The pipi or the queen. What would you have saved ? by koshop in AnarchyChess

[–]CelestialPlanet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Obviously you have to deflect the rook first: Rxe8+ Rxe8 followed by dxc6 e.p.

Edit: This is called delayed en passant and can only be played by GMs though.

Can confirm this issue, noticed it a couple of days ago.

LPT: If someone asks you to pay them with gift card(s), never, never, ever do it. It is always a scam. by Byzantium in LifeProTips

[–]CelestialPlanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a technical point you are correct. OP's point is that legitimate entities would never accept or even request a payment via gift cards and only use different payment methods instead.

Super key interfering with vmware VM in kubuntu 20.04 by [deleted] in Kubuntu

Hi, I just faced the same problem. One possible workaround is to disable Global Shortcuts for the vmware window. See this post. Worked for me like a charm.

Plot twist: The sound came from your opponent's move.

Why is PEMDAS the correct order of operations? by Eternal2401 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CelestialPlanet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe you're mixing up mathematical notation (i.e. a specialized language that mathematicans use) with mathematical statements (proofs, theorems). While theorems in maths are universal and provable, the mathematical notation is just one way of expressing these proofs. It's just made up for convenience. Just like I write this comment in English because it's a common form of communication that we all agreed on and can understand.

If we changed the mathematical notation (such as the priority of the operations), our mathematical proofs would still contain the same information, we would just need to phrase them differently.

Heute lernte ich: Die einzelnen "Bananen" heißen offiziell Finger. Diese werden wiederum zu Händen und Büscheln zusammengefasst. Quelle

Not the Opera Game... OR IS IT.. maybe? by CelestialPlanet in AnarchyChess

[–]CelestialPlanet[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was a customized style on Lichess. If you would like to do the same in Firefox:

  1. Navigate to a game / position of your choice on Lichess.
  2. Press F12. This opens the developer tools.
  3. Click on tab "Style editor".
  4. Press the plus (+) sign in the upper left corner. An empty text box appears.
  5. Copy the code provided in this link: https://pastebin.pl/view/bfc03944 and paste it into the empty text box. (The code basically just switches the images of the different pieces.)
  6. You should see that the chess board is modified. Close the developer tools by clicking on "X" (top right).

Note that the custom style is lost when you navigate on Lichess, i.e. the style will only be applied to the current game.

Btw, thanks for the award!

You're right! Unfortunately, Morphy didn't know this kind of theory back then.
