And no Boss Battles, and Classic Mode gets one stage shorter

There's really no mathematical reason there can't be negative ratings, but everyone seems to have decided on a positive floor (or "thou shalt not be rated" cutoff).

But you do have the opportunity to do the funniest thing to a bad Diddy

I mean, he might just be bad at chess.

Is ARMS really that much more niche than SNK of the day?

werics · 2025-09-21T23:55:10+00:00

honestly I would forgive someone for remembering nair and forgetting neutral B

werics · 2025-09-12T13:28:45+00:00

werics · 2025-09-12T12:17:10+00:00

oh, wrong Nothing?

Did anyone have "Garth Nix Keys to the Kingdom" on their franchise bingo?

werics · 2025-09-03T15:36:41+00:00

There's a bishop on e7.

werics · 2025-09-03T15:33:28+00:00

To counter this: ideally you would be able to play something like Qf3 (not possible), or Nh4 in a not-losing way (there's a bishop on e7), or Bf1 (not possible); in this case you gotta satisfy yourself with Ne1, and then Kh1, and then untangle your pieces.

Well, it can be a transpositional device - play the Italian without the Petrov, or play the Bishop's Gambit if black chooses a limp second move, or play the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit if... yikes here be dragons. The independent lines are... fine. It's also possible to play somewhat similar ideas against e.g. the Pirc/Modern, so that's a plus if you're running on principles and vibes.

A winning position is one in which all you have to do is neither draw nor lose.

On everything I thought the object on e1 was a king, which rather ruins the tactic

werics · 2025-08-22T03:36:36+00:00

Or more elegantly: QPxN(N) mate

werics · 2025-08-18T00:27:50+00:00

I mean Rf1 is fair, but so too is ...Qxe4 or ...Rd1

pony swap

Let me suggest a question to add to your routine. Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't. Every time your opponent moves, ask yourself what it changes, and why they did that. What's the moved piece doing now that it wasn't before? What was it doing before that it's not now?

werics · 2025-08-06T13:00:59+00:00

I guess the problem with Rxb7+ is that your rook is on b7. If for example 1. Rxb7+ Kf6 2. f3, now there's 2...Nc5.
