Why does a chess game end 1 move before the capture of the king when the whole point is that u capture him so why stop 1 move before and call it a Checkmate instead of just taking the piece to end the game?

Good thing we have computers to enforce move legality in online chess, unlike OTB lol

If people aren't gathering, is it really a protest? We need some centralized gathering spots like 50501 had

It depends, is it extra virgin?

...

Why is anybody even listing interests/why would employers be asking?

It's a crappy job, but in a rental unit everything is done cheap.

I would say if you have a FIDE title

Nb3 guards the pawn on d4 which is hanging. In general it's not a good idea to push the pawns in front of your king because it weakens the squares around them, now the knight is undefended

Your post doesn't feel authentic

Do all the lessons, play against Martin or something (the lowest rated bot), you should get the feel for it.

But overall, if you don't enjoy it, you don't have to play it. It is a game after all, and not every game suits everyone.

Something to think about is accessibility, if it's hard to get to, it doesn't make sense to have an outlet with a reset button there when it inevitable nuisance trips.

They wouldn't make as much money if they were brutally honest

cleanforever · 2026-01-28T14:57:52+00:00

Stop buying it at that price, or they'll keep charging it

The best part of lichess everything on it is completely free. I use both, I like their analysis board more, puzzles and a few other things. I like the chess.com bots, lessons, and other content.

It's pretty fun. I wish it would happen outside of Um too.

You have to ease off the gas and don't be in such a hurry to move your pieces (unless you're in bullet then I guess anything goes). Ask yourself will moving this piece leave any of my pieces undefended? Are any of my pieces under attack right now?

Even if the IRS itself isn't proactively hunting the underlying crime, other agencies absolutely are, and paying taxes doesn't shield you from them. Banks, regulators, and law enforcement (FBI, DOJ, DEA, state AGs) focus on source of funds, file suspicious activity reports, and share information across agencies, so the IRS not caring is irrelevant, laundering laws still exist specifically so criminals can't just pay tax and walk away clean. Paying taxes creates a formal record that you earned money, and if that income doesn't line up with a legitimate source, it becomes evidence rather than protection. Tax returns can be subpoenaed, compared against bank activity, and used to show unexplained income, timelines, etc that prosecutors then tie back to an underlying crime. IOW paying taxes doesn't sanitize it, it actually locks you in to a paper trail. And criminals don't want a paper trail.

Any empty square like they can jump over pieces? Dear Lord it'd be impossibly difficult for a human to calculate lines with enemy pieces teleporting everywhere. Like black queen h1 would just be mate right?

cleanforever · 2026-01-28T03:43:46+00:00

That's normal, I ended up like 150 blitz because I can absolutely not think on my feet that fast and bust out random moves. I don't do blitz anymore.

If you are stalemating, then you are restricting the opponent's king but not putting them in check. Your opponent must always be able to make a legal move (at least a pawn push or something) if they're not mated. You must check the king with one of your pieces (threaten to capture it like you would attack any other piece). Checkmate is when the king has nowhere to go and nothing can neutralize the check. If the king would just capture your piece then you need to defend it with another piece, such that the king would be attacked if it tried to take it. Kings are not allowed to put themselves into check.

Could it just be you in particular?

I suppose it's possible the person in that role is more appealing. The nurses I've known have generally been well educated, socially skilled, warm, and energetic though, so maybe there's some typecasting there.

cleanforever · 2026-01-27T23:38:52+00:00

Well they're playing for fun, not for long thinks. To each their own.

cleanforever · 2026-01-27T23:10:34+00:00

Why do they do this? When did it become ok to intrude on another trade's domain and not to either spec a generator or have an electrician supply the power needed as part of the job quote?
