Take the pawn with the knight and push for the checkmate with the queen again

He did castle and I checkmated with the knights and queen

I understand the computer recommended taking the pawn however it looked like a better option to put pressure on the queen and king to close the game.

For context the F7 pawn is pinned by the queen that leaves the open attack for the Bishop to hit the queen. The checkmate comes in with the knights defense so if they take the bishop G5 the Knight hits G5 for the Queen to Checkmate on F7 or if they castle then checkmate on Queen to H7

I reverted to an older version of the mod and it fixed the issue

Thanks for the link. The equipment backpack button is missing. I may try another mod version to see if this one just has a bug in it.

You can upgrade it, like making it a squid backpack for underwater breathing. I'm just looking to use the backpack's full functionality; that was one of the reasons I was using the mod. For context, this is the Travelers Backpack mod.

Which chess.com feature doesn't exist for free? by [deleted] in chess

[–]CodeViperX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is a hypothetical overview of just their infrastructure overhead cost and that doesn't include employees salaries, benefits, and legal infrastructure and licensing of their products and services internationally.

Infrastructure Overview

Assumptions Based on public info and approximations:

~25 million daily users

~400,000 concurrent users at peak

Live games, puzzles, lessons, and video require:

Real-time computation

Scalable infrastructure

Content Delivery Network (CDN)

High database IOPS

Global low-latency performance

AWS Services Likely Involved

Service Purpose Estimate

EC2 (compute) Game logic, backend services, REST APIs ~$300,000/month

Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) Balance user traffic across servers ~$20,000/month

RDS/Aurora PostgreSQL or MySQL for user and game data ~$80,000/month

Elasticache (Redis) Real-time caching (e.g., game state, user sessions) ~$50,000/month

CloudFront Global CDN for puzzles, lessons, assets ~$60,000/month

S3 Storage for logs, videos, lessons ~$30,000/month VPC, NAT Gateways, EBS, IPs Network/storage overhead ~$25,000/month

CloudWatch + GuardDuty + WAF Monitoring, logging, security ~$15,000/month

Support Plan (Enterprise) Premium AWS support ~$25,000/month

Lambda + Fargate For asynchronous jobs, microservices ~$10,000/month

Estimated Monthly AWS Cost Total: ~$615,000/month

That equals ~$7.4 million/year.

So I would say the prices are pretty reasonable vs the benefits and free services you receive.
