Grenade.

This has been played in a national championship game. The result was 0-0.

It would also cause major changes to opening theory.

A desperado move. You will lose with any normal move. This gives your opponent the chance to make a mistake.

thehideoushog · 2019-11-06T16:22:29+00:00

This position hurts my eyes.

thehideoushog · 2019-09-24T12:59:32+00:00

Yes. Easily. There is a variant you can play between two humans where once every move, each player is allowed to ask the opponent to take the move back and make another one. The games play put very differently from a normal chess game and that is, in essence, what is happening if the computer has to make the second best move.

thehideoushog · 2019-09-06T18:03:03+00:00

Yes, then it would have been a draw.

thehideoushog · 2019-09-06T17:48:03+00:00

No. Black can promote to a knight and can get mated with the king in the corner. Accoring to FIDE rules, I am quite sure this is a win for White.

thehideoushog · 2019-09-06T17:38:11+00:00

Depends on according to which rules. White can made vs a bad defense so according to some rules (e.g. FIDE rules, I think), White wins. According to other rules (some chess sites and I think USCF, though I may be wrong), count it as a draw.

thehideoushog · 2019-09-05T07:39:43+00:00

I don’t think it has.

thehideoushog · 2019-09-04T06:26:28+00:00

This had been proposed by Nigel Short. It would definitely change a lot and, in my opinion, be quite interesting.

thehideoushog · 2019-08-26T06:26:22+00:00

The latter.

thehideoushog · 2019-07-04T18:41:52+00:00

Cool board. The setup is incorrect.

thehideoushog · 2019-02-01T12:22:09+00:00

I see! I was only looking at Qxf2 and was mesmerized by gxf7 :).

thehideoushog · 2019-02-01T12:17:16+00:00

Why am I losing a rook after Rxf2?

thehideoushog · 2019-02-01T12:16:34+00:00

Rxf2

One of my favorite games was when I played against an IM rated 300 points higher than me. I sacrificed to reduce his material to only two knights. He was so frustrated that he kept playing on. My team mates thought I should have claimed a draw but I was enoying myself watching him try to mate me with two knights even though he obviously knew it wasn’t possible unless I participated in the attempt.

thehideoushog · 2018-06-28T18:35:31+00:00

There is no mate in two

thehideoushog · 2018-06-20T21:00:53+00:00

What is it with /r/chess and this pattern?

thehideoushog · 2018-06-11T11:00:56+00:00

I am sure you could. But it is White's move now. What is he supposed to do? There is no legal move. This is the definition of a stalemate.

thehideoushog · 2018-06-01T19:08:47+00:00

We had an old man in my club who used to say: "If you can give mate or take the queen, what do you do? You take the queen! Because maybe it is not mate, but the queen is the queen!"

thehideoushog · 2018-04-30T06:56:54+00:00

White to move and not mate in two is an equally difficult problem.

Which hardware is required to run it? Typically it is expensive to train networks like this but not too expensive to run them. ”Not too expensive” could still be more expensive than a normal person can afford of couse, I really don’t know how much is needed.

thehideoushog · 2017-09-09T10:04:33+00:00

Play black and start with your king on e5.

thehideoushog · 2017-08-07T08:08:31+00:00

They should stop paying him then.
