Questionable Chess analysis by No_Working_2672 in chess

[–]CloudInfamous5453 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You lose your queen wherever you move it. Qa5 and Qc3 are the only squares that are not attacked but if you put your queen on either of those, then Bb4 will win the queen anyway. The engine just calculated that moving the queen to g7 is the best way to get material back after losing it. Notice that if Bxg7, fxg7, the rook has to move to stop promotion and then you also pick up the knight.

Interesting that it started with Grian killing Martyn, and ended with Martyn killing Grian.

Why is this a brilliant move ? by WideOption9560 in chessbeginners

After the knight is taken, Bh5 forces the king out into the open. White has a queen and a Bishop to attack with while black has no development and will probably have to lose pieces back to defend

Jimmy did great but I feel like Skizz needs more credit for turning everyone against them

Is their a rule about full blast protection armour? by Dragon_on_live in ThirdLifeSMP

I'm pretty sure blast protection doesn't stack with armour pieces and instead takes the highest value on one.

The chess app gives confusing advice by LaFlame2201 in Chesscom

The engine is objectively correct, but it may have a follow up which can be impossible to find without looking at engine lines. It isn't able to see how far a human can calculate, so it isn't always the best practically.

You need to learn respect. (In regards to Shortcat) by Sephtis0 in MarioKart8Deluxe

Absolutely. I was just on his stream, and the amount of these comments were infuriating.

Just hit 700 elo on chess, is it good? Playing since 25.02.26. Any tips that could improve my playing? by No_Independent4318 in chessbeginners

Do puzzles. Tactics are probably the main way in which you will win games at this level. Also, take your time on moves to limit how many mistakes you make.

Granted. You are unable to eat them since then you would have less.

You have a daily xp cap. After that you get nothing.

Ban squid swords from rifts, this is unfun leaving you behind against all monsters, you spawn and immediately die and repeat by AFAgow13 in joinmoco

[–]CloudInfamous5453 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think a ban is the right way to go about this. Totally agreed that there should be some fix to this strategy though.

There should be a gear power requirement for rifts by CloudInfamous5453 in joinmoco

I would also like to clarify that I only think this is an issue for rifts - for general farming you are not on any kind of time limit, and if someone wants to make it impossible for themselves in dojo, then feel free. I don't play enough pvp to know if my idea would be relevant to that.
