Because I'm essentially quoting him.
He stopped playing a 1500 year old game after it got "traction" despite the fact that the game has always been popular.
I only slightly changed his sentence to emphasize how retarded he sounds.

White to move

Sack the rook by putting black in check and taking the pawn. Whites king is much closer to the right edge, can decimated those pawns, pass his pawn, and then mate black.

no move the rook to like g8. when they queen take it. then the king ends up further from the right side and your king will get there to take the black pawns or to block the h-file pawn while you push the g-file pawn to queen if they play g5

[Anonymous No.12716609]

Rc8 a1=Q
Rb8+ Ka2
Ra8+ Kb1
Rxa1+ Kxa1

Now king is one square further away from helping his pawns and white is winning

[Anonymous No.12716624]

Upon further review, black is drawing if played perfectly

[Anonymous No.12716636]

Can you mate black in 7 moves tho?

[Anonymous No.12716641]

White to move

No, white can force a win
Ra1, Kxa1
Kb3, g5

My best bullet game. My ELO is about 1300, but I'm happy with that since I don't follow any opening theory or any other autistic chess shit. I just use intuition.

[Anonymous No.12717228]

>>12716636
How?

[Anonymous No.12717233]

>>12716683
Nothing forces black to take the rook.

[Anonymous No.12717511]

>>12717233
Technically true. But not taking the Rook also loses the game.

Threatening mate with Ra8, only way to stop it is to sacrifice the queen in various ways.

[Anonymous No.12717901]

>>12716974
Worst possible move
black goes:Qg3
white is check, and will lose queen against queen and a rook.

This.
It also got infested with e-celeb cancer from the twitch stuff.
As usual, something comfy is quietly enjoyed by a relatively small number of autists, it gets propagandized for someone to make money off of, retarded NPC normies flood it, and instantly turn it to shit.

[Anonymous No.12717944]

I have been playing on and off for a while now got up to FIDE 1200 at one point. I started playing because im from eastern europe and my grandad introduced me. People taking up chess to prove their intelligence to others or themselves or people who think if you are a chess GM you are some kind of a genius are retarded and pathetic.

It's:
Ra1, Kxa1
Kc7, g5
G5, g4
And then queen your pawn at g8, he queens at h1, you go g7 to mate.

Anyone have real over the board grades? I’m about 1750 over the board for my local team, I hover between 1850 and 1950 online in blitz and a little over 2000 in rapid.
