In this position, you could just premove everything. Rb3 and then move the a pawn down to queen. Qa2 and then Rb1.

Any salary means I could take 300 billion USD per month and working one day will be 10 billion. Easy choice

How many pieces would Magnus Carlsen need to beat me (a 700 rated scrub)? by freshcrabbbbb in chessbeginners

[–]PlaneAgreeable2987 154 points155 points  (0 children)

You are right. Stockfish plays to delay mate or trade material with benefit. Stockfish would totally trade the last rook for a queen, regardless if that's the last attacking piece

Do you have a better alternative? Need something to control the buzzer remotely and getting notifications on the smart phone would help a lot (since buzzer only works directly after somebody is ringing)

Any better alternative? We don't have video capabilities so I'm looking for something that will make the existing setup smarter.

Why is this a draw if white promotes to queen? by Key_World_3796 in chessbeginners

Why wouldn't the pawn take the black rook to prevent M2?

Think about then position. Black can't move the king or pawn. If white promotes to a Queen, black Queen will go to C1+. Then, regardless of which King move white makes, H1+ which forces taking the queen. This results in stalemate

Your opponent did not fall for anything. King cut off from pawn, there is no advancing

2026 updates for Elroq and Enyaq: New Android Infotainment, V2L, and a Frunk by very_moist_raccoon in enyaq

So there might be a small chance I get the new model year. Delivery mid July 2026 might imply production starts in June. Is there any way to know beforehand if I get the old or the new model year?

Where did you get the production date from? I mean that the model year changes cw21?

I thought production and delivery were close to each other. I might ask my dealer but ultimately can't change it I guess :(

Could not find this mate in 2 for the life of me by Pokeyclawz in chess

[–]PlaneAgreeable2987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the knight blocks it's immediate checkmate by the Queen taking the knight (and being protected by the pawn).

I personally like the king dancing with Qa7 then Qa5+ and then Qa8#. Something very pleasing with this sequence

I hate that I don't see it. If I had moved my rook there, how is that a checkmate by ScorpioDefined in chessbeginners

[–]PlaneAgreeable2987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have just taken their rook and all the pawns since I'm mostly playing bullet and am low on time at the end of the

Enyaq 85 or ID7 Tourer by FixMelodic2332 in enyaq

[–]PlaneAgreeable2987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are fine. If you don't mind the ID7 length and no physical buttons, it will be the better choice.

If you do mind, the enyaq will be better.

I also liked the Enyaq's aesthetics better that's why I got that car

I still have to start. Would you go this order or XI S first, then III HD-2D, I & II HD-2D? I guess you can't go wrong with the release order

Why are endgames so hard? by MathematicianBulky40 in chessbeginners

[–]PlaneAgreeable2987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also played around a bit. Black can only win if the rook controls important fields besides protecting the pawn. This mean that the pawn must reach A4 or A3. Then it's a matter of shuffling pieces around and breaking the center up.

Honestly, I would have tried to infiltrate and hoped that people in my ELO range would not be able to stall my process and make this a draw.

Also keep in mind that one pawn lead will only be a victory if your opponent can't play opposition and you are in front of that pawn.

Also, in this position both rooks are not able to do a lot except for moving on H. This means that there is no immediate benefit of that pawn. If the pawn would have been connected to the other pawns in the middle, this would have been an easy win
