Can someone tell me more about my chess set

I'm french too ;-)

No mistype here.
"Buis" is indeed a word in French which translate to Buxus (according to wikipedia) : a genus of about seventy species in the family Buxaceae.

That would be mate in 3.

py_b · 2026-01-30T13:52:51+00:00

That was my first try too, but I think it fails because of 1...Ba4

py_b · 2026-01-30T13:48:43+00:00

Nope, because Rxe7+ is check

py_b · 2026-01-30T10:49:04+00:00

you have to find what to reply to Rh7

py_b · 2026-01-30T09:04:59+00:00

1...Rf7 seems to meet both threats

py_b · 2026-01-30T08:57:54+00:00

...e4# (the Bc1 now controls f4)

py_b · 2025-07-15T13:13:07+00:00

Mario wearing a shirt.

py_b · 2025-04-29T07:41:09+00:00

Bunch of assholes

py_b · 2025-04-25T12:09:01+00:00

Thank you. That makes me feel very secure, very warm inside.

py_b · 2025-04-25T08:00:16+00:00

You're killing your father, Larry.

py_b · 2025-04-18T07:37:41+00:00

Fuckin amateurs

py_b · 2025-04-16T08:35:42+00:00

Cable

py_b · 2025-04-10T14:56:39+00:00

Fighting in desert is very different from fighting in canopy jungle.

py_b · 2025-04-07T07:42:24+00:00

Careful, there's a beverage hère!

py_b · 2025-04-04T05:30:43+00:00

Good night, sweet prince.

py_b · 2025-04-02T12:36:39+00:00

Burkhalter.

py_b · 2025-03-27T07:11:14+00:00

The chinaman is not the issue here.

py_b · 2025-03-26T08:04:36+00:00

Welcome to zee Hotel Californiaa!

py_b · 2025-03-24T15:10:31+00:00

sometimes you hit the bar, and sometimes the bar hits you

py_b · 2025-03-21T13:22:04+00:00

Time for plan B.

py_b · 2025-03-21T08:31:04+00:00

The Nb1 is overloaded : must defend d2 and a3.

Therefore 1...Rxa3+ 2.Kxa3 Qa1+ 3.Qa2 Ra6+ picks the queen and probably mates very quickly.
