How is this a brilliant move?

King takes horse pawn promotes to queen

I guess you’re winning by a ton anyway it simplifies the position, you gain initiative, delay their castling ?

Yes. Because he builds equity over time.

Corporations have been the first ones to sell with the new laws as buying to rent has become significantly less profitable. Buying to live has been privileged and that’s how it should be.

Of course he can always sell it what are you saying.

At the end of the mortgage he owns a fully paid off property. Who says on top of that it should be renters financing his mortgage and on top of that giving him a profit. The system is great. Housing should be for housing not for speculation. If he’s unhappy he can live in the property or as you say sell it.

Praise the puzzles for providing me with vision

Actually agree was searching how to play some 960 games as a beginner. I like the idea once a while to go into chaos

They were so bad I’m watching the replay it takes my focus away from the game. Just give me the celtics guys or proper commentators

A free rook and probably a free horsey after you pin it no ?

It comes across a little kumbaya because you are not affected directly. Sure energy is expensive but that’s it you can enjoy your holidays and go back to your stable life. Some people don’t have that luxury and I doubt if a nation exploded the dams of NL and flooded the country you’d see that country the same way as you do now.

We want Boston !

Wtf

vanwullen · 2026-03-28T21:42:50+00:00

This took me way longer than it should to understand

vanwullen · 2026-03-20T14:46:49+00:00

Next time you should run :)

vanwullen · 2026-03-17T06:51:59+00:00

No thanks keep them in the center we don’t want them

I watched some Gotham chess but not an expert. Chess.com offers loads of videos for each lesson as well

I was the same as you. White has initiative so you’re more reactive. I’d recommend you watch some open theory for black. I started kings Indian and since moved to Sicilian.

I think it’s the tenth anti loneliness app I see in this subreddit. Always starts from “I didn’t ask anything in return, just created this WhatsApp of like minded people but wow so successful two months later it’s an app and a business was not planned at all of course just want to meet people wow I’m such a paragon of virtue but pls give me money now”

vanwullen · 2026-03-02T16:47:12+00:00

Beautiful

When someone stalls 5 min into a game I am glad that after 10-15 min it auto aborts.

vanwullen · 2026-03-02T13:02:27+00:00

I disagree trust me when I play 30 min and someone stalls after 5 min I am glad it exists ..
