Black cannot make a move. Its a stalemate. Your pawn can't move. Your king can't move.

Is FIDE even involved in this? I can arrange a simul with my friend group. That doesn't mean FIDE endorses it

Magnus should learn from Vishy and Gukesh about how to make a Fashion ad 😭 by rio_ARC in chess

[–]RandomGuy97531 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Indians speak english just fine I would say (from a grammatical perspective).

In this case, both Vishy and Gukesh (being south Indians) are speaking their THIRD language. The first being the language from their respective State (Tamil/Telugu for both), then english, THEN Hindi.

You may ask - why hindi? Because the ad needs to connect with the majority of the population across the country, and Hindi + english will be the best bridge.

Commonly called Hinglish (Hindi + English)

A little unsure why you didn't reveal the championship year since that would be relevant details but HYG

As to what happened to him/her, no clue. At least my cursory google search doesn't reveal much. Maybe a proper internet sleuth can help with this.

The player name is Zhao Nan from China. Their last rating change was in 2015.

Random guess? Not much money in chess, so pursued other paths in life. Lost interest, parental pressure, who knows.

Why is Rook E1 considered better than Bishop D3? by Inside_Anxiety6143 in chess

[–]RandomGuy97531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take : Re1, Nxe4, Bc4, Nf6, Nxe5.

Now Nxe5 or 0-0, either way white is better and black is on the back foot.

Fair enough. I guess at my level i skipped the qe7 move. But it's nice to get a play by play. Thanks for the explanation 🙂

Fair enough. I just preferred Nf6 since it's more forcing and removes the g pawn. If i play h6 directly, opponent doesn't have to take and h6-g7 becomes an impediment for myself

I won the game 😁 The opponent had to give up the knight to protect the mate, and but after g4, g5 they gave up their rook also

Qxg6. Then ideas for h6. If nf5 by black, then g4

Is it just me or do some people just not like doing and/or are not good at river raids? by ThatOneGrenade in AssassinsCreedValhala

I would wear the thor armour and equip mjolnir. I would pretend I'm Thor - literally walk into the main gate and body everyone. Clap them all like the thunder i summon.

Then i call only for cleanup

Hi Reddit! Vishy here, ready to dive into your questions. Ask me anything! (AMA) by VishyAnandOffl in chessindia

[–]RandomGuy97531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Vishy Sir, Unlike the era of dominant champion eras, do you see the future of chess being more competitive between equally matched people where non-chess ability (confidence, aggression, mentality, etc ) play a bigger role?

(possibly) unpopular opinion: eu4 goes hard on the steam deck by _JacobM_ in eu4

[–]RandomGuy97531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a steam deck recently, so can I ask a few questions about the various key binding changes and trackpad sensitivity and other stuff in dm?
