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.
