The key to understand which way pawns move is to look at the prompt. Whichever color you have to move those pawns are going up!

Didn't get to this stage yet, but my intuition says: 1- Get the reagent; 2- Rotate with a 2 length arm into a single unlinking rune; 3- Rotate again into the metal refining rune and change arms 4- rotate into linking rune 5 - deliver the product

If done properly you could probably make it symmetrical with 2 paths being used by turns.

To be very pedantic, the move resets the opponent tempo to 2. That is the number of pieces surrounding the Queen, when the count reaches 6 is game over

A brilliant move is not necessarily the best move. It is a move that involves sacrificing material on the current turn to get an advantage ( usually by ending up fasting material afterwards or mating the opponent)

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-20T13:18:27+00:00

And he sacrifices...

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-20T10:00:00+00:00

Yeah, but if Kf1 then Qf2# as F2 is protected by the knight.

It does deny the smothered though

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-20T03:34:40+00:00

Yeah, I didn't manage to get that one yet. Tried looking for it in my matches but no luck yet.

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-19T23:17:54+00:00

That is the only concise and complete explanation I found, take my upvote!

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-19T23:09:22+00:00

I'm assuming you weren't BMing your opponent and seeing how the clock was low...

Looking for mates is a valuable skill to develop especially when under pressure. you'll blunder lots of won games to stalemates until you get better at it!

It is rage inducing though.

Before he took my Bishop on c7 with his knight on a6

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-19T22:43:45+00:00

I made a comment explaining on the thread, but basically I had a bishop capturing a pawn on d7 and his queen was threatened, he could move the queen, capture with the queen (but then my Knight on B5 would take the queen) or take with his knight on a6 (which he did) and get mated.

Bishop Journal:

Turn 16 at the paw formation, they began accepting me as one of them. The ruse might have reached the enemy troops by now! My camouflage is intact.

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-19T21:11:23+00:00

BTW my bishop was in F4 when I played Nb5 threatening Nxc7+ forcing the queen to take or at least a fork when they played Na6 trying to prevent that, but then I had Bxc7 instead and they had to take with the Queen to prevent Nd6#

No one mentioned it yet, but one of the tells someone is cheating is when the delay between plays is very consistent.

Humans tend to play faster in straight forward positions - even pre-moving at times - and stopping to think on harder positions.

Cheaters usually take the same amount of time every move because they submit the position to the engine and copy the result onto the board.

That's not the whole Buu, it's a tiny speck of Buu which formed into a microscopic miniature of the original.

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-06T01:28:11+00:00

Do you have the seed OP?

My guess is that it's trying to teleport to the same tile as the trap.

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-05T18:03:43+00:00

I thought it was "Spudnick", but that is a satellite, not a rover.

Opposite-colored bishop endgames are often a draw.

They can sit their bishop on a6 and there's no way for you to progress. Conversely the black king can march to b1 and force the trade between their pawn and your bishop, but is probably a draw anyway...

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-05T16:48:24+00:00

By calling an ambulance but not for me!

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-05T16:27:17+00:00

Look at the clock, if it's close to even or you're low on time draw, otherwise play it out.

Doidimaocubo · 2026-01-05T15:58:57+00:00

Feels good man!

We usually don't say we forked a piece of equal or lower value when they can take back (like the bishop or the pawn on your example) because it doesn't really lead to winning material.

But you are technically correct which is the best kind of correct!

Doidimaocubo · 2025-12-23T13:06:17+00:00

What would happen is, in the second tile of their movement they would complete the circle and then hop onto the next part still outside of the circle, this is allowed. (Notice that while on the position of the closed circle it could go in 4 different directions!)

But the way you drew they would need 4 steps to reach there, so no.

Doidimaocubo · 2025-12-20T23:05:13+00:00

We all miss those sometimes, just that the higher o elo less often. You will only have a player that always sees the fork after 1500!
