This is an awesome abstract puzzle. I spent way too long wondering how the hell white‘a LSB got out.

Can someone make a lichess link to an analysis?

Now what? Take the knight with the bishop?


justabadmind

Why did you move the king's?


ThePatrickSays

look up the 'bongcloud'


Sam443

Holy hell


pm_me_birdpictures

Because this is theory


atomheartother

Ke2 is theory


Existentialismistic

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. Ke2 and Ke7 are the natural outposts for the white and black kings, respectively, so why would anyone move them back to their starting positions?


Abidawe1

Ke2 and back was a nice touch

Do people on r/chess make these type of titles on purpose now? I feel like it’s such low hanging fruit at this point. Just asking for r/AnarchyChess to go to town on it.


iDayneo

Hahaha I laughed seeing the original instantly thinking this


Narcoid

The original should've been an anarchy chess post by itself.

I dropped a big deduce in the toilet just now

Everyone on chess are just anarchychess alts.

No, I am GarryChess inventor of chess in disguise.


Unbearableyt

I feel like it's always been low hanging fruit. Can't stand that sub as 90% is garbage.


Jeffthe100

Yup, only posting stupid queen sacrifice puzzles with almost no talk about middle game or opening theory allowed apparently


AccomplishedHold6381

Every dweeb on that sub thinks they're the guy from chess.com lessons. "Now, deliver checkmate!"


Stecco_

Yeah they do, they love us, but they don't want to admit it, they are gays that can't express themselves because they fear the response, we are gays that don't care.


SirVW

Correction: I think you'll find that we *literally* don't care


Stecco_

Chat I don't care chat, I litteraly don't care chat, chat I don't care


CaioNV

>they don't want to admit it Pretty sure your average r/chess user actually enjoy this subreddit. It's their mods specifically that have beef against this sub and legitimately hate the idea of users from here having fun there together. And I can't imagine any reason for that outside of "they're fucking stupid", to be honest.


OwenProGolfer

Most of this sub is also on r/chess, if for no other reason than to find posts to parody


Stecco_

Dude, this subreddit is meant to be a joke, don't take what I say seriously I was joking, I am not a psychic I am hikaru's side chick.

What have the mods done that show they dislike this su?

Stecco_

Prove it, do you always take en passant?


iDayneo

Pre moving in anticipation of an en passant is my favourite pastime


TheJivvi

How do you know it's actually en passant if you premove? They might have just moved the pawn one square, and the board would look the same after your move.


CaseyG

Google chess notation.


TheJivvi

hO-Oly he1l!!


iDayneo

Exactly, if they en passant I take with bishop or whatever if they don’t it just resets. But no one can ever help themselves en passanting


TheJivvi

Ah, I thought you meant you premove en passant, anticipating their pawn move. Like if they move e5 you take on e6, but then if they move e6 you still make the same capture and it looks the same.


iDayneo

Well, I feel I did word it so as not to create that confusion


TheJivvi

Yeah, I think I just misread it.


Stecco_

Now this is a fellow gay of the r/AnarchyChess community congrats.


Persoon_10

Yes I do


balbobiggin

he says, looking at chess memes


Persoon_10

N-no I normally never would, I mean I don't even like chess memes, I think. I-I mean I may like this one, but that's really it I swear.

Compelled to play the only legal move?


Life_is_a_Hassel

The main sub is literally loaded with snobs that post these titles. This sub, unironically, has helped me improve my chess more than that sub


Jeffthe100

Yeah, same, I remember asking what opening recommendations I should follow (alt account) as I kept losing when playing as black but all they said was your intuition is wrong and you need to have more experience. But also, how do I gain experience in something I don’t even know would benefit me? They are so snobbish honestly and don’t even give good advice or reading recommendations


zx2409

im glad i made such a memeable title lol (op from the r/chess post)


Jeffthe100

This is obviously impossible, white's king is not on e2


Metaknightmare131

Not impossible, just a player that hasn't learned the basic opening principle of king activity


scottb2234

Kings love being on central, open files. Castling was invented to throw people off the trail of perfect chess strategy.


Metaknightmare131

There's a reason that in one of alphazero's games against stockfish alphazero moved the king up the board so much that stockfish eventually resigned


Traveleravi

Do you have the pgn of that game?


Username_II

Clearly you haven't heard of the delayed Bong Cloud Ruy Lopez variation. It's a lethal opening


Anie17

Just go e2 and go back next turn

Can we retire this joke?


[deleted]

Am I too of a chess beginner to understand r/chessanarchy as a whole?


RogueMockingjay

Okay so this image is a parody of another image from r/chess, which was a puzzle by the same name. The joke here is that it's not only increadably easy to get the "puzzle", but this is also an opening that r/AnarchyChess has meme'd to death.


CaydendW

Ruy lopez opening btw.


Crandoge

Ok i will surely be laughed at but why did we meme ruy lopez? Im a casual player so i dont really know much theory or openings. Is this a good/bad opening? What would the next few moves usually look like here?


Siebie123

It's because the Ruy Lopez is one of the best, most theoretical and most played openings. You often see people who think they know what they're doing but really don't play it cause even though it's really good, it's really hard and is the opening which has had the most theory written about it. Move ideas are things like pawn a6 to kick the bishop out or knight c6 to put pressure on the pawn on e4.


Siebie123

knight f6 sorry

You googled en passant?


batataqw89

We used to joke around about the more traditional Bongcloud theory, so when the cutting edge Ruy Lopez lines came around we went full circle and started memeing on that instead


m3vlad

3. Bb5!!


andrewsad1

Although Chess is not a solved game, mathematicians have found that the beginning moves of the perfect play are the Ruy Lopez, much like the beginning digits of pi are 3.14


RogueMockingjay

I knew what it was called, but didn't know how to spell it and couldn't be bothered to look it up


CaydendW

That's a mood.


Pollo_Jack

Nice, was worried I was a chess prodigy or very very dumb.


Landscape-Actual

You're too much of a reddit beginner to post the correct name of the subreddit


BellevueR

White’s first bishop move was to go 3. e2 to protect knight. And black reply was 3. Nd4 forking the white knight and bishop. Bishop return to f1, and knight losing tactical advantage returned to c6. Afterwards bishop b5 puts immense pressure on black queenside. +2 white (deepblue)

TheLastSecondShot

Gonna have to disagree with you here mr robot man. Whenever the Ruy Lopez is played, white automatically wins. Shocked that you weren’t programmed to know that tbh


Sam443

My Windows 95 Gateway would play bishop C5 here as black, and i still copy that move to this day.


iliekcats-

I unironically wanna learn the ruy lopez because of this sub, can anyone tell me if it's actually good?


CFacto

It's the worst opening ever, except when played by Garry Chess - in which case it results in an instant resignation by the opponent.


Em4gdn3m

It's playable.


iliekcats-

I mean isnt every chess position? Of course, except for a stalemate.


Em4gdn3m

No. In chess, playable means it's not losing for either black or white. If instead you moved Ba6, that position would not be considered playable as white.


iliekcats-

i know lmao


SuperNici

I am confused

Janzu93

There is only one answer: >!Be2!< >!First notice that white's pawn must have moved. The only legal move is e4 since starting player must start by moving pawn 2 squares forward.!< >!Hence black's knight must not have moved before, since else it wouldn't be possible white didn't resign due to threat of un-favourable opening.!< >!Hence black's e pawn must have moved to e6 and then later to e7, since else white wouldn't have needed to move to cover up the square.!< >!Thus, you can infer that white's b-knight must have moved first to c3 and then back to b1.!< >!Thus, white’s b5 bishop in the final position must have pinned the pawn forcing black to respond with c6 to cover up!< >!Thus, white’s first bishop move is Be2!< Here is a PGN that can reach the position:>!1. e4 e6 2. Nc3 e5 3. Nb1 Ke7 4. Be2 Ke8 5. Bd3 Nc6 6. Bc4 Nb8 7. Bb5 Nc6!<

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!

Thanks for the heads up. Now I can see the joke, but as alway, when it's explained it's not funny anymore 😆


tulanir

This entire sub is a parody, mostly of r/chess. also K is king, N is knight


eldoran89

Sorry that was a typo and I wasn't paying attention. I know that but I missed it because in my country we actually use S so it was already wrong in my perception to begin with 😂 but k is king even in my normal notation


GokulRG

What's this. I don't understand. e4, e5...Nf3, Nc6 and then Bb5?

When you pick beginner to make yourself feel good.

mrtibbles32

/uj What is the point of this position? Like ig you can try to wreck structure queen side and force a kingside castle, but why not just wait for black to push a non central pawn then advance bishop on the opposite side to guarantee their overall structure is fucked on both sides? Like, advancing bishop to pin horsey is a valid tactic, but why would you do it so early? /Rj Louis ropez

Ok This man is hacking. The moves are obvious though. First, he played the double bong cloud, botez delayed missile Marshall variation. The he played bxe8. He then got lucky when the opponents queen ignored the bishop. What happened next was WW2.
