How does /chess/ feel about vertical castling? Pretty sure FIDE says it's illegal but the circumstances it'd come up are so rare I think it ought to be allowed just as a fun meme move.
>>96527626It sounds like one of those weird variants no one will ever play (torpedo pawns and similar).

>>96533201There is one: https://chess-results.com/tnr1246286.aspx?lan=1&art=0&turdet=YES&flag=30there isn't a "men" division, they make that one "open" so that the women can choose to join it if they like.

>>96572691Nice one, it's 1. Qb8+ Kg7 2. Nxe6+! fxe6 3. Qa7+ picking up the rook. If 2...Kf6 or 2...Kh6 the rook is hanging The first move was obvious but the second one is what you just have to see. I first saw the idea of Rxf6 but it was not forcing and didn't gain too much material The resulting position is not even too easy either I dont think.
RIP coolmathgames? getting TLS cert error (domain mismatch=suspicious)
>>96575307somehow I suspect the #1 rule is to actually play a lot, not just few games a week
>>96581359nevermind they fixed it
>>96581489I still get a 414 error. I was able to play only one game against the computer.

sometimes i feel like playing chess is mostly like this punnett square of- i lose. i never had a chance, i developed fully but just kept losing space and analysis doesn't really make it clear where i lost. i gain nothing from the experience. rarely, i might lost to some weird trap that doesn't even seem to be in the database but my opponent found INSTANTLY- i lose. i was better at some point, even up 1-3 points of material with no clear long-term weaknesses and then my opponent seemed to hunker down under pressure and my advantage slowly vanishes. a lot of times my opponents seem to have no trouble quickly finding draw-ish moves and i kind of just clock out before i can convert even though i'm still better or winning- i win. my opponent doesn't understand how to pick the right time control for themselves. they either played like it's bullet and blundered bad IMMEDIATELY, or resigned early in rapid/classical in a position i don't fully understand myself- i win. like, in any given position during the game, i'm winning even if it's my opponent's move. that kind of winning. i win after like a combined 80% of both players' clock time has been used and i'm too burnt out to play anymore
If you go to an OTB tournament, would you prefer to play against a blonde or ...
>>96591108... a brunette?

>>96594646I'd change federation too, to play in the Olympiad for some meme microstate.
I wonder why not many people play Bughouse. It's fun and you don't need to memorize openings.
