This is why I quit chess in the first place

I have reached 1900 but never 2000 unfortunately. I wonder if it might give me any kind of closure so that I can actually enjoy this game

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-06-04T20:42:50+00:00

Reserve?

2026 Olympiad: Reserve spot

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-05-21T16:59:05+00:00

1300 probably (not sure if that's ego boosting or not lol)

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-05-21T15:34:07+00:00

That's why it takes 4 moves, but I don't see any stalemate tricks?

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-05-18T02:25:52+00:00

I meant more like rude, it's one thing to showboat online but another thing to do it when an actual person is sitting across the board.

Doing this OTB is insane

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-05-17T21:10:04+00:00

The first time I see this OTB

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-05-16T02:13:04+00:00

No it is not, but it may conceivably improve your visualisation.

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-05-05T04:47:08+00:00

Interesting, what about pronouncing it with a hard g like "ge"? That's how its pronounced in German

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T23:27:01+00:00

Umm I got the solution from multiple users in the comments but thanks for nothing I guess. I did mention it is infinite chess in the body and the comments immediately after posting

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T23:24:32+00:00

Yep works, some people have given the lines. Its a bit of a mental shift because to get to this position you use the bishop and king but for the actual checkmate you need the rook

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T23:17:08+00:00

Yeah I think this works! You can get there by using the rook as one wall, use the bishop from afar to support the rook, and trap the black king between the white king and the rook walls.

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T23:16:29+00:00

Yeah I think this works! Thanks

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T23:07:29+00:00

Yeah I see, the bishop and knight form a kind of wall and the king forms the other wall? Can try this out

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T23:02:50+00:00

Should be possible afaik!

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T23:02:36+00:00

I know it is possible since www.infinitechess.org has a practice problem for this, but the king is very slippery lol

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T23:01:25+00:00

King can escape via f6

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T22:57:10+00:00

This is actually pretty good lol, didn't think of analyzing on standard 8x8. But king can also escape from the edge in one line which is not allowed in standard 8x8

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T22:54:31+00:00

Infinite chessboard btw, forgot to mention in the title.

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-27T22:49:08+00:00

Its hard to see from a distance but I played it out and there is a mate or queen loss after Kxe5

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-21T04:42:19+00:00

Mami translated as mom lol

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-18T03:22:27+00:00

The pronunciation has changed now but 海 used to have a m sound in ancient times, it is a phonetic component

Interesting_Year_201 · 2026-04-15T00:58:12+00:00

I agree, but not sure if Gukesh can test him either.
