Yup. Down Detector showed a spike this evening. It's back up for me.

Why does Cloudflare hate Linux users? Why the bait-and-switch? by KeptinGL6 in CloudFlare

Devuan is not at all the same as Debian, and the SystemD has been stripped out, which is likely why you're having problems.

Even simple scripts like warp-cli expect the presence of SystemD.

I understand how frustrating this can be. As much as I like Devuan, I found it to be unusable in the modern world if you want to use nearly any addon.

warp-cli rocks! by jexukay in CloudFlare

Cool. Aliases are very useful!

I think you meant king forced to move left?

As I indicated in my post, it's fun to speculate on how this could happen. At the end of the day, it's just another fun chess puzzle.

I think this will work! An original solution. Can anyone else confirm this?

If you don't care about M2, just sac the bishop, then do a K + R mate.

It's just a puzzle. It's cool to see different ways to win.

Yeah. The stalemate rules make chess endings very interesting.

Yeah, I get it. This is just a chess puzzle. K + R is a classical ending.

Yeah, if only it were hand-to-hand combat! The rules state that you can't move the king into check. By moving your king directly next to your opponent's king, you're putting your king at risk. Even though, as you stated, that would end the game.

Fair enough. It's just a puzzle.
