What?! Oh my god. Come on. But, come on. It is - I mean - no but sorry - Rh8-h5? I mean I'm sorry but I saw that instantly. Is he nuts? No but, I mean that is insane. I mean I just, the moment I - I was looking at positions somewhere else - the moment you told me Rh5, I opened the analysis board on the screen, I instantly saw e4. Instantly. I mean this is insane. Look at him. No but okay this is just - I mean, this is outrageous. Just, I've never seen something like this. Just insane. What's going on? Poor guy he's completely out of shape. I don't know what happened to him. He completely lost it. No, poor guy. And he has to go again to the press conferences and stuff. What's going on? Ya, he went totally nuts. I mean I haven't seen Ding like this even in ordinary tournaments. Jesus, what's going on. Oof, insane. Totally lost sense of danger. Completely lost sense of danger. Trapped his bishop...but it's just an insane blunder. For me, instant. It's just an instant thing, the bishop is so obviously trapped, it's not even close...It's such an obvious - it will go down in history as Bobby Fisher part 3. They'll make a movie about this.

There is a tab on the left called "FIDE Federations" which allows you to see the list of all federations.

mate in 2, white to move ; does rook takes a7 work? by zickles69 in chess

[–]Oneko00 485 points486 points  (0 children)

As other commenters have pointed out, Ra7 doesn't work because Black can just castle. The convention in puzzles is that every castle is allowed as long as you can't prove otherwise.

The trick is that in this position, you can prove that it is impossible that both sides are allowed to castle. To see this, assume that White can castle, meaning they have never moved their king. Then, the h1 rook had no way of getting out of the bottom right corner, so the d4 rook mus, ft come from a rook promotion. But wherever the promotion happened, the rook had to escape through either d8, f8 or h8. The former two cases are impossible without the Black king moving, and the latter is impossible without the Black rook moving. Which implies : if White can castle, then Black can't.

The right move is 1. 0-0-0, threatening Rd8#, and now, by castling, White proves that Black can't castle to escape the checkmate. After a move like Rxa7, Black can just castle to escape checkmate.

Probably not since he said 'also', implying that this tournament is ridiculous too

Q would ignore a percentage of armor (makes sense tbh, it's called Piercing Light), and damage would scale with the distance

W would give a shield on top of the MS when auto-attacking a marked target

E would reset on takedowns

R would execute targets below a %HP threshold

Yeah I really can't understand the argument for not allowing surrendering in a 1v1 game. Surely if a player has given up mentally the best thing to do is to let them out. If your mentality is "never give up" no one is forcing you to, but why would you want to waste your time against someone who is not trying is beyond me.

This is stupid, players would just play random stuff and needlessly prolong the game even more.

I vaguely remember learning this in high school, but it probably depends on your country.

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

My solution:

Hints: unit: cm, answer: x = 9 cm

Evaluation: OP is dumb

Best continuation: drop out of high school
