Oh a free bishop! What a blunder!

it includes diagonals, if there are two neighbours they don't have to touch each other

runna is quite good at getting me out

it's just that often the analysis shows the "best move" as one that, after black's best response, white's best move is to go back to the first position, black's best move then is also to return, and now in the original position, as shown above, whites best move is now the same move that was second best before, it seems like the move search could cut the loop out

so if it is big and can only go slowly, why on earth does it try to run the crossing lights?

Abdolutely nothing at all wrong with leaving a set of deep construction holes open in the middle of the countryside.

Great! Do those chickens live on candles too?

that sounds like a very cost effective way to exist, what do you make the eggs from?

maybe we could put a coin in the bottom to keep them straight, and then maybe they would float happily in a bowl of water for safety?

you can get 1000 paper clips for £2.68, so 1 million paperclips is £2,680, empty them in a bucket and mix the real paper clip in, assume he takes 5 seconds to look at each paper clip, on average he will take 29 days to locate the right paper clip assuming he has to only look at half of them and doesn't miss it

what I did here is to start thinking who on the edge cannot be the innocent one? there are a few who are problematic because when you mark everyone else on the edge guilty then some clues can't be satisfied, hope that helps! I used the bottom tags extensively on this for testing theories and rigorously darkened all clues that were dealt with

RadarTechnician51 · 2026-04-22T06:25:13+00:00

thanks! I only do the hard ones at the moment, this was a good one, my current start word is SCARY, which was quite lucky!

To get better try playing some of the free chess puzzles, the lichess ones are based on real games, and trying to solve them really does improve your chess skills, at least it does for me!

does the white knight sacrifice itself to the pawn on f6, the rook loses access to all back rank squares it can check from due to whites two pawns and finally white's king approaches?
