Why not both? A knook is the way to go.

Perhaps even a cranny.

What the hell is up with the board and notation? The board is off by 90 degrees, the bottom left square should be black (unless we're looking from the side, but the labels suggest we're not, because the letters are across the bottom like normal). And then if you actually look at the file and rank labels, they don't match across the board—the leftmost file is marked "a" on the bottom, but "h" on the top, and the ranks are the same way.

They specifically designed it to annoy chess players, LMAO.

Also, technically, the pawn can be promoted to any kind of piece.

Yeah very positive message, you can be whatever you want on the promised land

Thank you <3

Let's see how long the very first hurdle of finding a therapist will take. Need the official diagnosis to do anything useful.

Our healthcare system and insurance companies have been stubborn pricks for decades, and the fact that I'm willing to deal with their bs should be diagnosis enough, but oh well.

Just watch out for defensive rooks and en passant bullshit (I'm sure there's a metaphor somewhere in there).

"King me."

"This is chess, not checkers."

"I know, but if I have multiple kings, you'll never be able to win unless you take them all down at the same time. Victory through the rite of succession."

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, that tracks.
