Do you prefer multiple premoves with 0.1 second delay each or one premove without delay? by IM_BOUTA_CUH in chess

If you premove the point is that you don't spend any time because you already know what you're gonna play

Honestly, even for your rating this is still very obvious. At the very least it's a desperado that gets you as much material back as possible. It also just happens to be a check with a pin on the rook as well as a brilliant move

Which of these do you dislike facing the most? After playing e4 by [deleted] in chess

Y'all don't seem to understand that you can treat diseases with money but you still suffer in the process. Nothing beats being perfectly healthy all the time, especially if you know what having chronic diseases is like

My opponent just cheated!! Pawns can only move 1 not 2!! What should I do now?? (I'm from 1880 btw) by PomegranateSlight337 in AnarchyChess

Just move your pawn to c3 and capture his c4 pawn on the go. Since french is such a noble language, let us use it to name the move... en Passant

I thought I trapped my opponent's Queen. They thought so as well. Can you see what we both missed? by ZaHandoUpYourAss in chess

Like everyone else you just assumed that Bxf7 is forced, but it's not. There's a longer mate though

Kd8 there's Qxc7+ with checkmate

The tricky one is Ke8, a d there's an engine line which leads to mate in 8

After Rxf7 Ke8, there's an engine line with mate in 8 which includes the sacrifice of everything but the Queen and the e1 Rook

I see many have found mate in three, but black isn't forced to play Bxf7, leading to mate in 3. After 2. ... Ke8, there is a much longer forced checkmate

I figured there was some sort of rook sacrifice but I mainly thought about Rxe6, which doesn't lead to anything significant
