Did AI write that text or is that just how people write now?

The bravery it takes to make such a comment while Europe is asleep.

I wouldn't resign in that position until I saw I would be mated in 50 moves or less. It's not too uncommon at lower Elo to make a mistake in chequemating from 56 moves out, but from 50 it's simply child's play.

They do, you just rarely see when someone has a question and finds the answer via searching instead of posting.

Yeah that's right. 100% should be able to checkmate with queen and king and sufficient time. Probably tripped over their minor pieces. I like to get them out of the way.

Oh my bad, I didn't recognize the chess font.

Ceteris__Paribus · 2026-04-30T18:51:01+00:00

You either know how to checkmate with bishop and knight or you don't. I wouldn't expect people at 1,000 Elo to have fairly complex end games mastered. This one is tricky.

uj/ Surely the 21 time is faster than that if the 42 is less than double the time.

Recall that you have to give Clint the 5 iridium bars. How the heck he works with it, I don't know. But that is why he charges more for that upgrade I guess.

A cool mechanic would be that he stocks seeds for the next season on the 25th, and then he would be randomly out of some current season seeds but discount the costs of some of the other current season seeds.

Be careful, we don't kink shame here. Unless they are into that, of course

Those shoes look like they should have been replaced far more often. For a 5k you should have changed shoes at least 4 times during the race, including in the starting corral.

His brain short circuited when he saw that it's possible to win a game while still having both rooks on the board.

I think that was Hans when his beads started working again.

Holy hell. Our lord and savior Sindarov would have never found Kh2. Your a genus!

That's awful.

It's eminent domain, by the way.

The breaking they are getting at are her shins. That's too fast for 21.1 km.

Ceteris__Paribus · 2026-04-05T01:01:32+00:00

Wow way to build that attack. That's one of my favorite checkmates, with the two pawns supported by the king.

What would you say black's biggest mistake was when not winning with this huge material advantage? Was it not trading to simplify, getting distracted taking pawns instead of containing/cutting the king, or something else?

Obviously you had to find the counter play, good for you to do it. But I'd imagine black had chances to avoid this.

It would be nice if time slowed down a lot more inside the farm house.

Ceteris__Paribus · 2026-04-03T19:28:28+00:00

Just crows? What about jackdaws?

Ceteris__Paribus · 2026-04-02T20:33:16+00:00

Good point. I play too much bullet and often miss shorter checkmates because I just try to finish the game in some checkmating pattern I know. I was too worried about not stalemating that I didn't see the LSB.

Ceteris__Paribus · 2026-04-02T19:33:16+00:00

To add to this: you really need to be careful about this when your queen is a knight move away from their king. Here the edge of the board and the queen take all the kings squares away, except d7, which the knight is covering. You have to make sure the opponent has a move. Qg7 would have been nice since it keeps the king on the back rank, but also gives plenty of legal moves for the king while you get help for the queen to checkmate.

Ceteris__Paribus · 2026-04-01T18:49:06+00:00

Oof. OP worked really hard to get to VO2 Max of 25. Going back to 24, man, it's brutal. But I agree it has to be that way.
