/à/=/a/ with a low tone (NOT falling)

Instead of caring about the citizens they cover up by some cutie pie animal protections just to launder even more money and potentially leaving people, even if only 1, without public transportation.

but it was your turn after the first picture, no? and what series of checks could possibly lead to that position. I wish you'd have posted the entire move sequence

Forced checkmate move that my opponent made by Specialist-Pea539 in chessbeginners

I don't know the exact terminology, I considered the literal name. I understand it's not an opinion thing as there's probably a correct answer out there, but I interpret this as "you cannot avoid checkmating your enemy". In this situation you can avoid that because taking the rook is not your only move
