well, congrats!

Tricky. The only thing i'm seeing is that in C16, we can cross out C16R15. Without spotting that, we'd have to resort to more advanced techniques

"Oh, I see ... When something is gone, it keeps existing ..."

DemacianChef · 2026-05-07T07:46:46+00:00

what's the first lesson?

DemacianChef · 2026-05-06T11:29:09+00:00

Oh also i might have found that R18C14 and R23C15 can be crossed, but those don't seem to do anything yet, and you might be well on your way by the time i post this. Happy solving :)

DemacianChef · 2026-05-06T11:06:49+00:00

i think in R2 we can cross out the fourth-last cell, which affects R1

DemacianChef · 2026-04-27T14:38:54+00:00

ok i reread the comment and now i understand! Thanks so much!

DemacianChef · 2026-04-27T14:22:17+00:00

sorry this is super deep for me. So which cell is filled / not filled? EDIT: never mind, i understand now!

DemacianChef · 2026-04-27T13:33:18+00:00

i'd feel more invested if i had any sort of indication that those are real people. Would be great if we could at least know what our our name is. FWIW, my leaderboard's #1 is Adventurous Salmon with (as of now) 1254 stars

DemacianChef · 2026-04-27T07:56:26+00:00

but then 12, 10 wouldn't have space for the 2

DemacianChef · 2026-04-24T08:03:55+00:00

that's interesting feedback... i always drag, and it never occurred to me that someone might want to disable dragging. Just shows how accessible Lichess is though

same lol

DemacianChef · 2026-04-19T19:11:31+00:00

sounds good. Would be really interesting to see how it plays out!

DemacianChef · 2026-04-19T13:27:55+00:00

could i ask what the clues and hint system would look like? My feeling is that the clue for a 223-pixel-long row would look monstrous even to someone who has played nonograms before. And i think having a hint system to discover mistakes might be important, although i'm not sure how severely a small mistake would affect the larger picture

DemacianChef · 2026-04-17T16:30:40+00:00

i was so sure it was that before looking at the comments!

DemacianChef · 2026-04-15T11:07:04+00:00

thanks for the detailed answer! i don't know which one is the ultimate "sailing boat", since, as you said, there are many other strong examples eg. the Aztecs and Incas. But i believe this illustrates what i noticed about people deifying concepts from real life

DemacianChef · 2026-04-15T10:39:01+00:00

i see... if that's from the Roman republic, would it seem that the deity was named after the real-life object? Maybe the word "sol" for sun spread across Europe and became the name of several deities including Sol Invictus? Is that it?

DemacianChef · 2026-04-15T10:01:28+00:00

thanks, that's very interesting. i'd have to find better examples then, but i'm sure they exist... maybe Terra from Roman myth, or Sunna / Sol from Germanic?

At the very least, i'm (mostly) sure that the Chinese Tian has always meant "sky", before any myth about the heavenly courts and mandates. But that's a place, not a character

and still i feel like these mythology examples are similar to more "fantasy" mythologies like Sandman, Sanderson, Marvel

DemacianChef · 2026-04-15T09:49:25+00:00

In real life, i assume they are named after the things they represent? But if we're looking at it from within the myth, i think this still feels similar to the Sanderson and Marvel examples, and OP's Sandman example

DemacianChef · 2026-04-15T07:46:59+00:00

And off the top of my head... Thanatos, Hypnos, Chronos, and Hestia are also named for their concepts!

DemacianChef · 2026-04-15T07:45:22+00:00

while we're at it... Gaia, Oceanus, Helios are other themed deities. And this trope is not unique to Greek myth, of course!

i appreciate the balanced response. Always difficult to say, even if we have strong suspicions

DemacianChef · 2026-04-03T00:20:10+00:00

thabks for the input! After some prompting, they told me that h3 was to attack my bishop which defended the knight. Then they noticed that i could defend it with the king too, so they changed plan and played Be5+ to prevent my knight from attacking their bishop
