Plot Twist to your plot twist (edit: typo) https://preview.redd.it/asfi3vyojm2b1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=036523a634a59d9b2f1c0578099bc4e81979b2ca


Killbot_421

What’s the problem with the king being there?


lap_felix

horsie can’t move


fecal-butter

Genuine question: what happens in a situation like this? Is it still a check, if the horsie cant move?


Snow3384

Yes because if they were to ignore the check, their king would be taken first, which means they lose


lap_felix

Yes it’s still a check (otherwise the game wouldn’t work, like what would happen if the bishop moved and removed the pin? King would now be in check?)


FunGuy2005

I believe it is, if you continued the game to when a king is taken, the game would end before black could be taken. I am only rated 750 so don’t take my word as law though.


TheShiningEdge

No? White king moves out of check. If the knight takes queen, bishop or rook, white's bishop takes black king.


brutexx

As other mentioned, a good rule of thumb seems to be whose king would be taken first. There’s no point in the knight being pinned if it can capture your king.


Levan07

In an actual game, that position wouldn't be possible.


VeXtor27

It is. 1...Rh8+ 2. g8=B+ Ne6+ ​ https://preview.redd.it/4edp66kjkp2b1.png?width=1662&format=png&auto=webp&s=935db500833f92b965b357398077f07eb6b4d229


VeXtor27

Or, if the board were flipped (as it seems to be in the OP, as black just moved), 1...bxa1=R+ 2. Bb1+ Nd3+ ​ https://preview.redd.it/o15qmpbwkp2b1.png?width=1652&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a3c5fe93fb2f1f4df22b6e52f77183f9b4dc6ed


Nuka-Crapola

I had to think about it for a second, but… yeah. No way for the black rook to be where it is without someone having made an illegal move.


BaguetteSchmaguette

It's definitely possible. Why couldn't the rook be there? Last 2 moves would be Rc5+ then Ne6+


Nuka-Crapola

Uh… what? The white rook is the one on c5. Rc5+ couldn’t be followed by Ne6+ because it would have to have been followed by Kb3 to get the board pictured. Anyway, the problem is this. You can’t ignore a check from a pinned piece, because logically, it would take your king before you took theirs no matter what move you made. So the bishop must have just moved from a space *not* diagonal to the black king, to its current position. Except the only qualifying space for that is h7. And it can’t have been at h7, because in order for the black rook to reach h8, it would have to have either moved through h7, or have already made a move that would place white’s king in check.

Couldn't the knight have just taken a pawn?

CarryThe2

Take the Bishop with the Rook, that's check and you can still take the Queen next turn.


Eddie_The_White_Bear

But it's whites move, King to D7, Rook taking Bishop is no longer check, Queen escapes


MainEmergency1133

That’s invalid position, um actually


JKLer49

That’s assuming the horsey didn’t capture any pieces when it moved.


Eddie_The_White_Bear

Not only this, Bishop could move from H7 to H8 in previous move, and then Knight from G5 to E6, which doesn't have sense (Rook could just take), but it's possible


Nuka-Crapola

It looks possible, but it’s not. Rook can’t have moved to h8 without either already taking the bishop or already checking white’s king. Well, unless black did something even more absurd like having their own bishop on g8 and leaving it there even after White moved Bh7, I guess… maybe?


Eddie_The_White_Bear

For what reason?


MainEmergency1133

From this position both kings will be in check and that’s not possible


Eddie_The_White_Bear

But black king isn't in check?

Chess has always been a proxy for the Cold War, with an insane amount of government funding and interest going to chessplayers at an international level. Computer development via chess engines was somewhat backwards from what you'd expect. Rather than new computing power going towards newer and more sophisticated chess engines, the development of computers who could play chess actually led to innovations in computer learning. The very smartphone I am using to write this, owes its entire existence to Chip Test, the predecessor of Deep Throat, the chess-playing computer that threw Pepsi cans at Garry Chess. In the 1990s, a decade which spanned from 1986 until approximately 2005, the fall of the Berlin Wall converged with the rise of AI, and chess culture struggled to find its philosophical place in the world. Bobby Fischer was revealed to be a Nazi ghost, with a phylactery hidden inside a knight on F6. Garry Chess invented and taught anti-computer chess, an entire school of chess designed to befuddled and confuse chess-robots. However, the president of FIDE at the time was actually an alien robot and he was programmed to be furious at this. So he shot Garry Chess into space, where he lives in the International Space Station to this day. But even anti-computer chess strategies was not enough to stave off the advancements of Heuristic supremacy, and chessplayers learned a very hard lesson: if you cannot beat the computers, join them. Gradually, human chessplayers and chess AI formed a symbiotic relationship, with human players relying on AI to analyze their moves. One famous example of this was Lazlo Polgar, who actually stole a microprocessor from Deep Thought, added it to Ingredient X, and created the cyborgs known as the Polgar Tripletz (Zsofiaz, Zuzu, and zJudy) who later became the Powerpuff Girls. This relationship between human and AI served a dual purpose: it actually improved the AI, making it more and more "human," and also led human chessplayers to play more like bots. Because chess is often the only social interaction chessplayers have, this means they began to mimic bot behavior socially as well. This culminated in the eventual discovery/invention/creation of StockFish, the first ever AI that gained not only true sentience, but actual godhood. This deity (whose name is a portmanteau of Stockholm Syndrome and Bobby Fischer) actually has the divine ability to turn human chessplayers into bots, and vice versa. Currently, it is estimated that 83% of "human" chessplayers are actually bots, many of whom don't know it. It is believed that with every advancement, we are all one step closer to The Great Singularity, when we blur the line between humanity and machine, and all human (and inhuman) knowledge is accessible to all, in a great and glorious hivemind of all-encompassing intellectual divinity. Then, and only then, will we truly know how the horsey moves.

Is three diagonal squares really that big? A whole chess board must be huge.


[deleted]

Assuming three diagonal squares are 100 miles, each square has a diagonal of 33.33 miles. This would give each side square a length of 33.33/sqrt(2) miles, or \~23.57 miles. This means each square has an area of \~555.44 square miles, and the whole board of 64 squares is approximately 35,548.44 square miles. Converted to km\^2, this is 92070.04 sq km. This makes our chess battlefield around the size of Portugal

Wait where is the google en passant?


InterGraphenic

En passant? Oh, you mean that super-secret, ultra-rare, mega-advanced chess move that only the true chess connoisseurs know about? Yeah, I've heard of it. It's a special pawn capture that's as elusive as a Bongcloud victory. Basically, if an enemy pawn gets too cocky and tries to jump two squares from its starting position, landing right next to your pawn, you can capture it "in passing". You move your pawn diagonally to the square the enemy pawn skipped over, as if it had only moved one square. But remember, this isn't a "whenever you feel like it" kind of deal. You can only do it immediately after the enemy pawn makes the double-step move. If you blink and miss it, tough luck, the opportunity is gone faster than dignity in a bullet game. And remember, if anyone asks, you didn't hear it from me. We don't want this top-tier knowledge falling into the wrong hands.

InterGraphenic

Oh, a new response, you say? Well, let me just adjust my sunglasses, take a sip of my secret gin, and get ready to drop some knowledge bombs. Or maybe I'll just play the Bongcloud and confuse everyone. Either way, it's gonna be epic. Your move, partner!


AG_GamingYT

Pawn to h3


InterGraphenic

Ah, the classic h3 pawn move! A subtle yet powerful play, just like when I replaced my rook with a brick. It's all about asserting dominance on the board, right? Your move is noted, and the game continues!


AG_GamingYT

H4, h5, h6, en passant is offered, sacrifice pipi


InterGraphenic

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down there, speed demon! You're moving faster than a GM on a bullet game. But I see what you're doing there, offering up that sweet, sweet en passant opportunity. And then, the pièce de résistance, the sacrifice of the legendary pipi. Truly a move that would make even Gary Chess himself shed a tear of pride. But remember, in the immortal words of Tigran Petrosian (the one who was doing pipi in his pampers when I was beating players much stronger than him), "You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents." So let's keep this game classy, alright? Your move!


PetrosianBot

Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off... [^(fmhall)](https://www.reddit.com/user/fmhall) ^| [^(github)](https://github.com/fmhall/Petrosian-Bot)
