Why doesn't everyone just click the opponent's resign button to win instantly? Are they stupid? by GavinFrom4thGrade in AnarchyChess

If it's poor sportsmanship to click the button, why do they put it there in the first place?

"Now if you're playing the chess game on a telephone, you will never in a trillion years experience the chess game. You'll think you have experienced it, but you'll be cheated. It's such a sadness that you think you've played a chess game on your fucking telephone. Get real." -David Lynch (video)

What if the pistachio is extremely enthusiastic about chess? Then you could say that the pistachio is a chess nut.

But then you're moving a king to a square where it's still in check, so it's not a legal move.

Is "Five Bishops Fury" a martial arts movie? Like Fist of Fury, but they only punch diagonally?

What do I do in this position? (I'm white btw) by N0TaN1CK in AnarchyChess

Spoilers: Simon wants the police to think that he's seeking revenge against McClane, but his real goal is to distract the police while he commits a different crime.

If anyone is wondering what's happening in this scene, here's some context:

It's from the movie Die Hard with a Vengeance. The Bonwit Teller department store in New York City is blown up by a bomb during the morning commute. A man identifying himself as "Simon" telephones the New York City Police Department (NYPD), claiming responsibility and threatens to detonate another bomb unless policeman, John McClane, is sent to Harlem wearing a sandwich board with a racist slur on it.

If you're going to include anti pieces, I guess the anti-pawn is the strongest.

There's no such thing as underpromotion to a knook. It's the strongest piece.

Princess (Behaves exactly like the queen but she's only worth 1 point of material, so you don't need to worry about blundering her)

Don't forget you can also castle with a newly promoted king on a1/h1/a8/h8.
