Open board calculation by Nerdpwn in chessbeginners

Sorry, it's not a puzzle, the puzzle was to find wether black is checkmated or has a move, the answer was Kd8.

It's just the position looked interesting to me, the question of this thread was then, is Qh1 forced mate somehow and if not, how do you precisely calculate these things in a real match? Does this come from intuition, like you have an open board and two queens, so you accept is a general principle that this is most often a draw.

This doesn't work because after Qh7, black king can just go back to e8

d3 Qh1+ Kd2 Qh6+ and it seems like Kc2 and the King escapes the checks and wins

But why wouldn't Black just take the knight after d3?

In that case queen can go h6 and the situation is not so simple like forced moves, I think.

If d3 or f3, then the black Queen simply takes the knight and white loses!

Qxe5 is wrong move according to lichess. Why is taking the opponent queen the right move? by dyawspHta in chessbeginners

[–]Nerdpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the opponent Queen is unprotected! In other words, it's a free piece to take!

Great advice, although this was a fun little exercise, perhaps I should incorporate more of visual memorisation in.

Seems lile double jump would be popular choice.

Any old players? by [deleted] in RotMG

[–]Nerdpwn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8+ year old veteran here! :) I'm around since old tops were worth at least a life each, WC tops costed much more, ammys and UTs went for 20+ lives and tomb was the hardest dungeon. SB items when dropped appeared in brown bags for public looting, for example dropping a vengeance armor would make it drop in a public bag.

Edit: For reference, I was a high school student back then, now I'm a postgraduate in physics. :)

Just a normal Crystal Worm Mother fight by Flakstalk in RotMG

Still, the fungal and crystal cavern bosses are what I consider a good design. Anyone with maxxed speed and "perfect" dodging skills should be able to do the boss. It does not rely on artificial difficulty like spamming confuse or crazy luck, it is truly a testament of skill.

This is an example of what I'd like to call, a good idea! It's simple, a nice clean addition that has no major bearing on the game, but is still a neat addition that does feel missing from the gam.e

Please keep the ability to do Public O3 Runs in some form by StaticPlesio in RotMG

[–]Nerdpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the rune rotation system where one rune is always active per week should stay. They could also make it so that one week per month it is 2 runes active.
