Idk anything about chess strategy but I don’t see why saying your race is relevant to this

[–] itszednotzee@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"What should I do (I'm white)" Literally shut up, nobody asked which race you are, in my eyes it's irrelevant. The fact that race influences chess so much is a symptom of inherent systemic racism in the world.

[–] lugal@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I totally agree even though I'm white myself

[–] kuna@szmer.info 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Show them the violence inherent in the system.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

Ignore their reasonable critiques of your recent royal decisions and instead insist that you aren't backing down, even if the pawns are setting the chess board on fire and leaving the game. Start praising other kings to make yourself look good b by association.

I accused them of blackmail, called them 'noise' and 'landed gentry' and most of them came back. Thanks for the suggestion!

Literal accent aigu

Pay some pawns money or other incentives to stay in place and not move forward. Then you can easily take care of the smaller portion of pawns that do get ahead. Plus you also sow discord among the pawns and divide them between sellouts and otherwise

Hi Spez, my advice is to hold off for a while on that IPO.

[–] itszednotzee@sopuli.xyz 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, but I like money. Sorry, I meant I like money. Sorry, I meant I like money. Sorry, I meant I like money.

-Promote bishop to king

-Send him to pawns

-Say that everything is his fault

[–] fsniper@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Import white pawns across from the other tables, arm them with shields and force move black pawns out on the north side.

[–] itszednotzee@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now the new ~~slaves~~ pawns are also revolting, what now?

[–] phthalocyanin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

offer some pawns a position of priveledge in return for enforcing your hegemony by inflicting violence on other pawns.

[–] Anwarias@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean, offer them a promotion?

[–] phthalocyanin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

promoted to cop/landlord

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just hire some "counter-intelligence" chess-pieces to destroy their movement from the inside!

[–] itszednotzee@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hired some guy but he seems to be organising the revolution into a unified communist state and industrialising instead?

[–] odium@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

Tell them the pawns on row 8 are the cause of all their problems.

If you’re in the US, call the police.

Google no pasaran

[–] nowitslikemagic@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I genuinely wonder if it's winnable for white.

[–] lrabbt@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the only victory condition in chess is to have the opponent's king checked, so I don't think white can win, unless black surrenders

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

If they have no king , you must kill all their pieces

[–] vegasq@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Defederate from those lunatics.
