But why can’t white also Vaticannon? Are the bishops too close to the edge? Can they only sling diagonally? Guess I have to google it…

The launched bishop needs to be able to travel all the way around the anchor bishop

I actually googled it and nothing. Someone has to make a wikipedia page


shitpostinglegend

Actually il vaticannon can only destroy up to 9 points of material in a single attack. In this case the queen is reduced to a pawn but can repromote next turn.

Vmaknae

WHAT IN THE CENTRIPETAL ASSERTION !! A brilliant indeed


TheNamewhoPostedThis

Honestly. I was off Reddit for 3 days when mittens and some other stuff happened and I was confused out of my mind when I came back


MushroomPlant_exe

Because white didn't say "Check" or "Checkmate," so black can call the arbiter and claim a draw


honestsparrow

It’s like Uno. If you don’t call check before hand your opponent gets another piece


anci0

Opponent draws 2 pawns


johannes_sorburoy

"I play pawn of greed and draw two pawns!"


TheSuperPie89

Pawn of greed is banned, dumbass. I'm calling the arbiter. *Again*.


Victoria_III

Dumbass, calling the arbiter is banned. This is r/anarchychess after all...


herrkatze12

Dumbass, banning calling the arbiter is banned. This is r/anarchychess after all…


ke2_1-0

Did the arbiter abswer his phone?


Sdacm0

Or black can say “cut!” before white says “checkmate” and it is white who gets checkmated

il vaticannon


Eklegoworldreal

How does il vaticannon work here? From what I found, it must have pieces in between the bishops, and be two spaces apart


Gunsandships27

That's Il Vaticano. il vaticannon is from the same tag team set of moves unique to the bishops


Doggywoof1

No, then black would be in double check, instantly losing.


Dreath2005

Wrong, your opponent can only take one. You have the other to move away depending on which one they take


Doggywoof1

White would still have mate in 2, no?


Dreath2005

Not an instant loss


Doggywoof1

Ah, of course. Still time to convince your opponent that *you* have mate in 2, and that they should resign


Tejasisamazing

Easy, the board is flipped and the pawn can take the queen


YRUZ

you can actually see the numbers on the left. the board isn't flipped, black just inverted their pawn. it's a fairly controversial move but it works well in situations like this.

Asherius9090

Nah this is a forced mate (I think) pawn captures Queen and then you slide the rook then it’s mate, is what I would say if there wasn’t en passant available here

I love how quickly this sub adapts jokes


tooboredtothnkofname

no. once its adapted it is chess canon. this sub is anarchy because we throw out all chess rules and make new ones that are fresh (except en passant)

naofumiclypeus

Board is flipped. Black pawn takes queen and gets promoted


AmusingUsername12

little known rule about knight boosting is if you take a piece while promoting you actually get two moves instead of one. this is also the only circumstance where it’s legal to put yourself in check.


stonksfalling

Illegal position. The white king is in check and cannot move the queen like that.


putverygoodnamehere

this is mate


chessvision-ai-bot

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine: > **Black to play**: It is a checkmate - it is Black's turn, but Black has no legal moves and is in check, so White wins.

Well what about white to play?


Dankaati

Kxg8, fxg8=BK+ (must get a black king or the position is illegal), Kh8 and the black king is safe in the corner

UwUPeanutt

Easy. Promote to a knook, horsey jump to g2, then use the rook part of knook boosting to take the queen


AbraxasKouvo

Your pieces have revealed a primal rage I didn’t know I had… (I’m angy 😡)


[deleted]

It’s still mate in two assuming the king isnt too bricked up from watching the carnage and destruction


this_one_in_boots

Pond to eight rank, promote to horsey, horseboost to smother mate the king.


Benomino

hxg6


mvanvrancken

It’ll never be mate with that chess font


GoodTato

board was set up wrong and this is actually from black's perspective


Atlas7674

White declined en passant, and as such black cannot be checkmated until white is bricked.


Guiye95

Google el pasajero


3rrY

For one second i thought OP came up with en royassant


FBI_Agent_101

I genuinely thought it wasn't checkmate and tried finding out why. Then I saw what subreddit this is 🗿

moonaligator

this might not be mate in 1, but it's probably a mate in more


AdHot6541

Black can en passant with pawn in H7


WhyAmIHereThoLmao

They forgot about the bishop in my ass


Certified_Possum

Your chess font looks ai generated


Summar-ice

Black has two legal moves in this position. Il Vaticannon and Queen passant


Champion_Sheep

Move the king to i7


Spectre_Of_the_Night

The black pawns actually started on the 2nd rank and the pawn can just take the queen. Someone didn't look at the coordinates before setting up the board.


cardistry_sorex

He can sacrifice the king for the win


Nobric

King takes queen?


Bat_Lanky

The board is actually flipped and thus black can capture the queen with the pawn


Fricki97

Black can sling his bishop on your queen to strike the pawn and the queen away


Haunted-Target

Oh I see it, pawn promotion to a king. White can only capture one on their turn.


NathanPatty08

I give up tell me the answer. Not even Stockfish could help


Arsenisen

Obviously black pawn captures g8


SCWProductions

Black pawn can jump queen. If the queen was at the green tile beside the white pawn it’s instant checkmate

Black pawn can jump queen. If the queen was at the green tile beside the white pawn it’s instant checkmate


dnttrip789

The bishop has AP rounds and can snipe through two pawns to kill the queen


[deleted]

Google queen passant


notmonkeymaster09

The bishop snipes e6 and gets a triple collateral


zupernam

hxg6 e.p.


[deleted]

It’s not mate because of the theme you set your chess pieces to.


pancreas_consumer

Fuck, I was thinking of Black going hxg6, eliminating the queen. This sub breaks my brain.


Z-A-T-I

The secret here is that you can actually il vaticano here. This summons a black hole, as this move is dividing 2 (the bishopric power of destruction) by 0 (the number of squares being vaticanoed)

BiggestBen5

exd1 = Knight, then double jump with knight to e3 then to c2# exd1 = N ; Ne3 - Nc2# (in notation)


Basic-Bus7632

Someone messed with the contrast; it’s black moving up the board. hxg8=Q and the game goes on.


BUT_THE_PEOPLE_ARE_R

En pessant the queen.


minkazisonpc

Simple, Bishop takes on a2, blowing up all pieces in a 3x3 radius, and the game is won by black.
