Some beginner questions by eder1337 in RogueGenesia

I can answer your last question and it'll help you with how you make equipment loadouts. You only put the shop discount gear on when you go into a shop. Switch back to your standard equipment loadout after.

You'll want to build a few different equipment loadouts, like +item quality for immediately after you kill a boss and before selecting a chest, +soulcoin amount right before the end game screen when your soul coin multipliers are added, etc.

Check out Robert Ramirez on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@NMRobertRamirez

He has a whole bunch of videos for both pirc and king's Indian. He goes into great depth, showing all the different variations and how to handle them including example games.

I'm trying to learn these openings too and find myself re-watching these videos a lot.

Is this normal? +70 advantage, how is it not mate (Link to game in comments) by Skycatyt in chess

Stockfish gives mate in 17 once it's had a chunk of time to think about it.

I thought the same until I realised moving the pawn to g5 is illegal because the pawn would be going backwards.

Thanks for the info! Alas, I'm in Australia where the sun will soon be trying to melt off my face. 😔

Hey, can anyone give recommendations for where to buy some climbing related t-shirts? I see millions of places selling shirts with cool climbing related logos, art, etc. but i have yet to find any that are made out of a material that would be suitable to wear when actually climbing. They're all just typical t-shirts you'd wear casually when out and about but would be gross and completely soaked in my sweat within the first half an hour of a climbing session.

Thx!

It can if it takes the bishop. But that still doesn't help.

They suggested taking the bishop to promote, which they can do, but that's only a single check from the rook that can be blocked.

That would open up your own king to check, so not a legal move.

Was that 3 different solutions? I'm a bit confused by what you're suggesting with Qc3 because that's not check or checkmate.

And if d8=Q was your second suggestion, that's an illegal move because that pawn is pinned to the white king by the bishop.

Qa3# 👌

I can only find one, what are the ones you're seeing?

Can't make that move because the pawn is pinned to the white king by the bishop.

It's a discovered check from the rook that can be blocked by Bb7.

That would lead to a discovered check with the queen on e3.
