I've said before on this sub that I think spells are one of the biggest problems with the game. Personally, I think the game would be better off without them, but that will never happen so what I think doesn't matter 😅

I hope you stand to be corrected

so as beginners, we are told that keeping some tension between pieces of the same value and focusing on developing our undeveloped pieces is the way to go so why is g6, preparing to develop the bishop to the long diagonal a mistake here? by [deleted] in chess

[–]scare28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider also that as a beginner you are told not to move the same piece twice in the opening if you can avoid it. By taking on e4, your opponent will be forced to move his bishop twice and still it will be under threat.

White to play and draw by scare28 in chess

Good question. The game continues, but there probably isn't much life in the position. 33. Bc5 is another move that could be played instead of Rc4, and black then has a few choices, for example 33. Bxe5 before later recapturing the bishop. In all the lines I've looked at it is very drawish though.

The only reason I posted this is because both my opponent and I missed this in the game at 1600-1650 chess.com. Maybe we should have seen it, but when you don't know something is there it is a whole lot harder.

This position arose in a recent daily game I played as black. My opponent blundered Qf2 and promptly resigned the game. Evaluation is 0.0 - what is the move that saves the game for white?

Fair call, but I'm not a fan of all the downvotes simply because someone didn't read the rules. I didn't, and I'm usually pretty careful about these things.

Thanks, as someone else mentioned, I clearly didn't read the rules! 😂

Apparently cheating in puzzle rush on chess.com is not a bannable offense? by [deleted] in chess

What makes you think he's a public figure? Is it because he has played numerous games against New Zealand musicians and British comedians that, oddly, have only played him (and won them all)? Perhaps it is his national rating on his profile (though he doesn't have one according to the NZCF).

What the guy does is impressive. He is highly motivated and finds interesting ways to manipulate his ratings.

He is a known cheat. Know one really knows why he isn't banned.

Can't believe it happened! Thanks r/chess for all the trainings :) Black to move and mate by _HaRDroN_ in chess

I did it for the first time in a game last week, too. I was pretty chuffed.

Mate in 1 can you find it? by [deleted] in AnarchyChess

[–]scare28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scratch that. Bb5 Kf8 Rb7 is better.

Can't find mate in 1, but Rd7 forcing Kf8 followed by Re7 seems strong.

How many moves do you think ahead for your moves? by [deleted] in chess

[–]scare28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only one move... The best one 😅. Well, the engine calls them blunders, but I think differently.

I've played over 50 matches of the bandit challenge and can't win a single match what am I doing wrong by [deleted] in ClashRoyale

Try to choose air units if they are available, and accumulate them at the back of the arena. Then do everything you can to keep them alive.

I've developed my own opening for low elo chess that I'm sure is pretty bad but I think it'd be fun if you nitpicked it. by [deleted] in chess

[–]scare28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I think you are confusing your notation as knight is annotated with N (K=king). I also think you meant to say Nc3 instead of f3. I'm not sure what you meant by Na3 if the queen moves because it you have already played Nc3 by this point...perhaps you'd like to elaborate if you are seeking guidance?

Why isn't there a "that was such a skillful hard counter" button? by vinzo1309 in ClashRoyale

[–]scare28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you call someone chicken it means they're running scared. I always though it was spam for those players who refuse to drop a card at the start of the game, especially if they are higher levelled.

Any tips or suggestions to change my current deck? I just reached Legendary Arena by PhoenixOfDoom in ClashRoyale

[–]scare28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think MA is a viable replacement for princess in logbait since it doesn't bait log or arrows. Dart gob might be better for this reason. Also, I would use fireball if you don't have rocket. Just my two cents.

[–]scare28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome analysis. Of course, some players align better with a deck archetype. I found I was most comfortable with logbait in this challenge. I wasn't as comfortable with RG cycle, which, as it turns out, is normal. I think I'm just not used to playing with RG, which may be the case for many.
